Noddy

thankyou

I'm helping a mate put the head back on his 33 and we don't know the tension for it. I tried the search tool on here and got nowhere fast. help please.

Opp's I forgot that these come with incicators

Item:GTR Front Guards Condition:Excellent Price:$700 To Fit: R33 Location:Warwick, will deliver to brisbane or post Contact:0411090019 Comments:I bought these a couple of years back for my 33, I ended up pumping and shaping my old steel GTST ones instead. As you can see, they have been hanging out in my shed on the wall gathering dust for too long and must go, I'm not going to use them. Guards are in Warwick if ur in a hurry, or I can bring them to Brisbane or I can organize postage They are in excellent condition, paint could use a pollish but, NO DAMAGE. I'm looking for $700 to cover the initial outlay.

I was given the option of going 2A sports or Spoorts Sedan. Sports sedan looks a little too much for me ta the moment.

drift has been a lot of fun and still is, but this car has verymuch outgrown drift. As said above the focus with this car is firmly on curcit racing.

If I am old mate, it is an r33 GTST logbooked as a 2A Sports Car. It is still powered by and RB25 with good head work, matched custom grind cams and plenty of other goodness. On a mild tune running 1 bar it is happily punching 300 rwkw. It has won its class at every meeting Ive taken it to this year bar 2. I had fuel issues at QR round and ran 2nd to a GTR at the Grafton round of the NSW hill climb champ round. I plan to run the QLD state sports car series next year so it has to perform and be bullett proof reliable.

I'm actually looking at changing mine slightly to run twin 044 or 040 pumps... i forget which is the good out of tank ones atm... so the thirsty beast doesn't run close to its limit on the long straights at Queensland Raceway. dual feed to the rail and central regulator return. I'm in the middle of up grading injectors and turbo setup. It will be drinking more juice so i don't want it to run beyond the capabilities of the 1 in tank pump. over kill?

Fuel surge is some thing most of us never realy concider... untill it is too late. Surge is a particular problem in drift because the cars spend so much time sliding with lateral G loads pushing the fuel in ur tank to 1 side or the other. The fuel pump pick up is usualy positioned so it will pick up fuel pretty much all the time under normal driving conditions. When the tank is getting low, some times going around a corner you might get a small cough out of the engine. The petrol has run over to the other side of the tank away from the pick up and the pump sucked air for a moment or 2. The pocket of air runs down the line and to the injectors. bop bop bop doesn't make a nice mixture for the engine to run smooth for an instant, It leaned out. On the track drifting or racing, pushing the car and engine hard, the same thing happens, only under load the lean out is more sevear. A longer starvation occurs, more Oxygen less fuel = more heat = detonation = dead engine. Don't get me wrong here, it's a pantine thing, it wont happen straight away...but...it will happen. The answer is to run a serge tank which is always full so you dont get surge untill the tank is ptrtty much totaly empty. The normal pump lifts fuel from the main tank into a smaller tank that is usualy tall and skinny that holds about 1.5L. At the base there is a fitting that you connect you hi-pressure pump to the engine which feeds the injectors or carby. the pressure regulator maintains the pressure for the injectors to work properly and retuns the excess fuel to the surge tank. Having the 2 feeds in to the surge tank, (return fro eng and fill from main tank) keeps it full just about all the time. Excess fuel in the small surge tank come out a overflow and falls back into the main tank. I had 1 made to my own specifications. Cost a few $$$ but it is exactly how I wanted it. Most surge tanks will have normal barb fittings, I needed something more purpouseful. This 1 is about 3.5-4L with a bosh Intank 600hp motorsport pumpin it. There is a return from the engine and return to the main tank up hi. The fill from the main tank is down low and the feed to the engine comes out of the inturnal pump out the top. The fill from the main tank is drawn from the bottom of the main tank where the fuel should be coolest. it is fed in to the surge tank down low so the hi pressure pump picks up the cool fuel first. The return from the engine goes back in on the same side as the main feed which creates a swirl. This and a horizontal baffel lowin the tank helps keep the fuel stable in the tank. The return is on the opposite side at the top working with the swirl, returning hot fuel to the main tank where it has a chance to rest and cool down. Just some ideas. pm me if your interested in costing something like this or need something custom made.

sounds like you boxes are getting worn, time for new syncros.

where are you located?

As I understand it, Beatie squashed it... the bugger

Morgan Park got resurfaced last Xmas. the last turn is still a bit bumpy but as a whole the track is fantastic. It is the reason we moved out here.

Wow, the things that get posted when ur not looking, any how, keep an eye out on this site for entry details. http://www.short-circuit-motor-racing.com.au/ There should be something up soon, and yes John you wll get giddy there so no point bringing the chaser.

I saw the car, but i Didnt get to see you run. How did it all go??? I had a few probs on the Sunday, boost controler got stuck in learn mode and i could only get wastgate pressure, 7-8psi. My best time sunday was only 47.2, and was still good enough to win my class. Sat was better in the wet, sitting just in and around the top 10. It would be goon to see you at Pitsworth, hope you can make it.

It is a very open track as fay as street sprints go, and soft. The concrete walls are all covered by tyre walls and a fair way off the sides. There was also plenty of run off at turn 1 if you need to abort mission. It is a car friendly street track, as friendly as 1 can be anyway. Kind of like a tame Lion or Crocadile, you can pat it with catioun....but it will bite you if you be silly with it.

Yes I know it is an old boost controler but I have a Greddy profec A and it has never quite worked propperly. I think I might have the plumbing a bit out of wack. I'm running an external gate and have the dip switches on the back all sorted. I have found a good pdf copy of the manual but it never looks at how to install the plumbing. Can any one please help???

Hmmm, you just enjoy punting about then. There are some good clubs out there that don't do the wanky dyno bbq my car is prettyer than yours bull. They go sprinting or racing and enjoy the car, the challenge and the atmosphear of grassroots motor sport or you will just have to be happy crusing the spit with all the other posers.

Some ppl say to me that they would like to have a go at some of the stuff we do. So here is your chance. Pitsworth is just past Toowoomba and is an excellent event to have a crack at. Off the start there is a good straight gets you up to about 4th gear. 1st turn is 2nd gear left, straight well into 3rd for a fast 3rd gear 90 deg left and a big back straight. 3rd corner is very similar to turn 2 and takes you into a spectator area. there is a chicane leading into a right hander just before the finish line. All in about 40 - 50 sec... I think. All you need is he same basic gear, helmet, longs and a few other little things, fire ext, 2nd bonett catch and a third party ext for road reg cars. CAMS liscence is Level 2 Speed, same as drift. They dont tend to mind if the car slides abit, esp corner exit, however if you are blatently drifting they will get grumpy, 1 guy i know lost his CAMS lic for 6 months for purpously and repeatedly drifting. The folowing link is to thier web site and for the amazingly lazy a link to the entry form http://www.pittsworthsprints.com/ http://www.pittsworthsprints.com/EntryForm...Sprints2007.pdf Entries close 27th Aug

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA sucks to be you :sorcerer:

Well, maybe a test drive can be arranged. I'm thinking of maybe thinking selling it. It is a huge maybe.

Do you still have the injectors???

We went out to this little track in Stanthorpe For a super sprint, which is 4 timed laps. Position is based on the total time for the 4 laps. We got our pit setup as usual for these events and we were free to camp with the cars overnight. (-2 is blimin cold) Others had big set ups and lots of friends, eg this tranportre is for 2 minis. There was a wide range of cars there from fairly stock escorts, to 13b turbo sportsedan escorts There was a very fast VG 30 powered 240K, I was too busy racing to get a shot of the engine bay but it was tower to tower of engine. The vent was so a pod filter could fit The racing saw 4 cars on track at once, sent off 2 at a time. In my group I was sent off with a sport sedan Mini... a bloody quick mini. Here is a link to an incar vid, sorry about the quality. Im working on a new mounting position too. And some on track shots. By the end of the weekend I had won my class, Sports cars 3L (the capacity has to be multiplied by 1.7 because it is turbo'd) and over and 3rd outright. The super mini came in 4th behind me by 1/2 a second. In front of u was a formula libra and a track preped westfield. The track suited them very well and they were on super soft slick tyres. Next event is Grafton Hill Climb june10th

June 3, thats abit close with the Qld round 2 last weekend, a Qld V NSW super sprint this weekend and a street sprint just a week after the NSW comp. I don't think I can get to the first round, but the next two are definetly on the cards. It would be nice to get back to Wakefield, it has been a while.
