i should make a 67 easy with the current setup, i still got to put new plugs in, the new ported intake plenum and intake pipe and0 adjust the timing.

Might leave the new brake pads and lines for the next round rather than rush them on

wow you went from

isn't that only 1 sec?

haha yeah yeah - im just bored....

see the way i thought of it is when you (well me anyway) say something like "hopefully beating my old time of 1:08" (or or what ever the time may be) means your going to try and beat it but your not confident and will probably still be in the 1:08's just hopefully just a bit better. On the other hand saying something like "easily get 1:07" indicates it will most likely be a low 1:07...

anyways - times aren't that imporant afetrall - its all about the racing!!! /me loves it! :huh:

haha - ive never raced in the wet... sounds a little scary to be honest...

i love driving the hilux in the wet but the skyline is scary on the wet road... cant image the wet track

we race on the sprint track at SAS so they are sprint times

ok...so not many...ive seen atleast two in the 57's and heard of 1 in the 56's.

ZENNON if you rip that 20 out and stick a rb30det in there...that will change. Plus some semi slick tyres if you arent already running any.

You would be suprised how much difference a set of semi slicks will make. I have managed a 62 on the sprint layout in the sedan and I only have 175rwkw. Pretty sure I can get that down a bit further too as the tyres were pretty much dead as they were the old ones I used to run on the GTR. I did a flat 60 in the dry and a 68 in the wet in the GTR, it had about 210awkw. Plenty of opposite lock in the wet :)

yikes!! thats crazy! (the gtr in the wet)

yeah i dont have proper semi slicks and my car doesn't have that much grunt les than 175rwkw i think (ill find out at dyno day) but yeah ive managed a 63 - and ive been getting faster the more i go and took hicas out over the holidays so looking forward to this year :)

Well i'll be there, i'm confident that i'll make the 67's, i got adjustable camber tops and castor arms in the front, bigger sway bar and pillowball tops in the rear and its a bit lower and hard now.

hopefully the new intake pipe will get me a bit more air in too.

Im not too bothered with semi slicks on mine, im only making about 100 - 110 rwKw out of my RB30e.

See you guys on saturday

Yeah over the holidays I also got the camber turned up a little, or is it down, haha, well more negative!

Semi's aren't for traction when your on the gas - it's for the corners!! My friend jezza in his n/a starlet which has no power has semi's! (little thing corners like a deamon haha - he ran a 66.55 which I thought was pretty impressive

    • By popular demand.. it was a coil. Got my hands on 1 new OEM coil, replaced with the one that made the less noise difference when I unplugged it while the car was running and started the car up. No stutter and the engine light was gone. I guess I’ll buy the other 5 they have lol
    • No, code 21 is very straightforward. It can only be the things described in that diagnostic flow. In fact it has no way of knowing that the spark plug resistance is out of spec.
    • Hi, SteveL Thank you very much for your reply, you seem to be the only person on the net who has come up with a definitive answer for which I am grateful. The "Leak" was more by way of wet bubbles when the pedal was depressed hard by a buddy while trying to gey a decent pedal when bleeding the system having fitted the rebuilt BM50 back in the car, which now makes perfect sense. A bit of a shame having just rebuilt my BM50, I did not touch the proportioning valve side of things, the BM50 was leaking from the primary piston seal and fluid was running down the the Brake booster hence the need to rebuild, I had never noticed any fluid leaking from that hole previously it only started when I refitted it to the car. The brake lines in the photo are "Kunifer" which is a Copper/Nickel alloy brake pipe, but are only the ones I use to bench bleed Master cylinders, they are perfectly legal to use on vehicles here in the UK, however the lines on the car are PVF coated steel. Thanks again for clearing this up for me, a purchase of a new BMC appears to be on the cards, I have been looking at various options in case my BM50 was not repairable and have looked at the HFM BM57 which I understand is manufactured in Australia.  
    • Well the install is officially done. Filled with fluid and bled it today, but didn't get a chance to take it on a test drive. I'll throw some final pics of the lines and whatnot but you can definitely install a DMAX rack in an R33 with pretty minor mods. I think the only other thing I had to do that isn't documented here is grind a bit of the larger banjo fitting to get it to clear since the banjos are grouped much tighter on the DMAX rack. Also the dust boots from a R33 do not fit either fyi, so if you end up doing this install for whatever reason you'll need to grab those too. One caveat with buying the S15 dust boots however is that the clamps are too small to fit on the R33 inner tie rod since they're much thicker so keep the old clamps around. The boots also twist a bit when adjusting toe but it's not a big deal. No issues or leaks so far, steering feels good and it looks like there's a bit more lock now than I had before. Getting an alignment on Saturday so I'll see how it feels then but seems like it'll be good to go
