The last corolla i came up against was the boxie style 1989 corolla (usually the 100kw 4age engine) he had 4 guys in the car, he asked me to give him a run and said why not, and to my surprise i heard i BOV go off and thought wtf? he kept up with me til 100, i was the only person in the car with approx 180rwkw, then i talked to him and he said he was running a MR2 engine, then i thought okay that explains it. hahah

you never know what your up against til you see results, another time i was in friends stock a block evo 6 1/2 and a ricer 2 door 99 model lancer came up to us FULL STEALTH i swear heard the HKS SSQV go off, and thought HUH? up to 100 he kept up even off launch then after that he blew us away , did some research and discovered that he was running a evo engine with a big ass turbo aiii...........

my 2cents worth of past experiences

I reckon it's cool to see a micro machine move, but not brag about it.

If the Corrola had same serious TRD go fast bits even NA, they can catch you by surprise...aren't they 1170kg only! They are over here.

210ps/20.4kgm!

Yes, there is always someone faster. Which is even harder to guess with cars over here. Once along the wangan on the way to the drags a Daihatsu Opti with 3 passengers onboard continually toyed with both an E3 and 180SX. :):D:D

I'm sure the Opti had some serious work done to it...660cc can only go so fast :P.

Yeah, two of my mates have/had 3sgte corollas. Quite quick cars, pulled on my car, and I beat most of the r32s I challenge on the track..... So this one nite, out and about at umm Queensland raceway... We came across a celica (same engine as the sportivo corollas yeah?) Anyway end of the day this thing was next to us up to about 160kmh odd, and it had a few small things done to it.

Id belive one could beat a skyline.

"I had a run with a r33 gtst a while ago. My stivo was stock as a rock. Guy pulled up beside me in the skyline and did the usual creeping forward manouvere but when the light went green I basically held him thru 1st, pulled right up on him in 2nd, he pulled a bit on me with his 2nd and I grabbed 3rd and backed off at about 140 to make a left turn and he had about a mudguard on me. Hmmm where is he now that I've got a few more goddies under the hood..."

sad sad sad...

stock vs 33gtst and he only gets a mud guard on him

Hmm I don’t doubt the corolla would have put in a good effort…my old 4AGE could be quite surprising when you sat on the revs just before the cams kicked in.

The only thing I’ve found with the corollas is the torque just doesn’t feel like it’s there…don’t get me wrong they rev like hell, have some reasonable power…they just can’t get the thing moving, from 0-4000rpm they’re quite unremarkable.

With a pod and an exhaust my car when it was N/A could take them, so this 32 owner can’t drive :P

Saying that though….on some ‘magna forum’ some guy is probably gloating about the R34 he kept up with last night. I took off in 2nd, didn’t go past 4000rpm and he was revving the balls of this thing trying to get past me.

whats this LIFT they all talking about between gear changes , is this the new V-tec thingy for toyota's

Yep, they've got all the usual continuous VVT that you get on any VVTi car, but also VTEC like lift adjustment. Not sure how they do it exactly, but the result is pretty similar to VTEC. Have a look on the side of a new Celica, you'll see VVTLi on it with the L in red.

We certainly get a much more watered down version than that here. That has about the same power as an R32 GTSt, which is insane when you consider that it is just a NA 1.8L.

MIC33R - Hate to go off topic, but is the dude in your av the thing from spirited away ?

Yep, that's him. He's called "No Face".

I loved the movie for some reason. I'm normally not too keen on anime, but this one I just really liked.

Some of the worked V-tech Hondas you see getting round our pretty quick,

fit a better flowing intake and exhaust, shave the head for more compression, more agressive cams, fit a programable ecu and strip as much weight out of the car as you can and you can get them to run 13's.

So if you do the same sort of work to a sportivo there's no reason why you shouldn't be able to go as quick, so being able to beat a stock r32 gts ot gtst really isn't that unbeilivable.

rode passenger in an IS200 or whatever its called with the custom Beams 3SGE engine in it, and it rev's like a biotch. I was curious about the engine to put into my AE86, so the owner volunteered to let me ride along to see how it went... feels just as good as a turbo i reckon... so awesome esp when going around corners as you can just keep your foot down and let it rev its heart out.

that's the beauty of an NA engine, you can rev like mad around corners without lag.

Shan - what's a VSII?

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
