Looks like a nice pick up. Glad to see even though you went to the darkside, you picked the right car :P

Yeah, it's always annoyed me that Toyota don't make an affordable small-midsized RWD car.

The last small car was the AE86 and we all know the stigma attached to those cars, plus for a basic mid 80's car they are sickeningly over priced. After that the next step is an IS200 which isn't cheap and the aussie ones have junk engines. Toyota also don't do any RWD 4cyl turbo engines either so you have to convert stuff to get what you want. Bloody bean counters....

It's a shame really, as I think Toyota would have done a good job at it, but they let that segment of the market go.

Oh well, I'm glad that Nissan didn't! I think I'll always have a hankering for an AE86 though...

Yes, it has a mildly worked Clevo in it, the whole drive train (except diff) come out of our old XD Ute we used to race.

It hasn't been out of 'the box' for too long, so there is still some fine tuing to do, but it is doing 1:45's at Winton.

Still pretty much a basic Falcon underneath, just beefed up suspension - thanks to my good friends at Pedders in Bendigo, brakes are slotted rotors (standard size and standard callipers), with Bendix Ultimate pads.

One of my favourite pictures. The guys at RPM Photography were in the right spot with the finger on the button for this one lol. Kudos to them for this, as it's by far the shot of the year at QR for me.

great shot! but coming second whats going on! ?? haha

:P Smarty... I had wastegate problems so I missed race 1 and had to start from the back in race 2.

I could ask why it is that you only just managed to get under 60sec on the Clubman yesterday at QR too :O

i have a plethora of excuses !! which one would you like to hear! lol

i thought youd like that!:no:

Well, I think maybe it's age catching up?

Semi-slick 285 hoosiers leave nice lines hey lol

is that r33racer in front?

It's his father driving it actually. Michael didn't drive it much last year.

Thats an interesting shot, where was it taken?

It was at the old Morwell Hillclimb circuit here in Vic. It's closed down now, but was a lot of fun. It's just a pity you couldn't get any heat into the tyres before a run.

    • I ❤️ Matty I would like to thank Matty for going out his way in securing me a OEM NC detachable hard top for the NC Matty, your worth your weight in gold, and I cannot say how much I really appreciate your outstanding help I'll get it colour matched once I pick it up sometime in Dec-Jan 😁  
    • We have some genuine Japanese legally decommissioned car number plates now in stock 🙂 Add some legitimately obtained JDM style to your Skyline or other Japanese model, or simply as a garage/man cave decoration! About the 40mm hole: The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure & Transport in Japan recognised the popularity of keeping decommissioned plates among car enthusiasts and came up with a method to "destroy" (or render them unusable for street use) while still retaining their collectable/usable value for display etc.  We have 40mm hole covers available to cover the hole nicely with a Sakura motif, which are also available in white in (very!) limited quantities, however they frequently sell out. Please let me know if you're wanting one or more of these and I'll check availability. The Sakura motif covers are more common. https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set-su-7515 https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-decommissioned-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-set https://www.oemsoko.co.jp/products/genuine-japanese-vehicle-number-plate-400mm-hole-cover *Please note that we can't obtain particular number or area name (eg: "Gunma 500 Fu ・86") if requested. All plates are provided as they become available after decommissioning. 
    • Ah, fair enough. For the IAT, I'm using a legit GM sensor that was used on the car prior to my current build. I'll get another wideband and IAT ordered and follow up when they show up. Thanks for the help.
    • You shouldn't need to massively fatten up the mixtures for cold conditions. For one thing - 0°C is not that cold. For another, the Haltech will be using the IAT sensor to tell it how dense the air air, and calculate the correct amount of fuelling. Then the cold start enrichment is added as a % on top of that, so it should scale with the main fuelling. You might also doubt the IAT sensor at this time. You're not using one from an RB26 are you? Using a nice Bosch sensor or similar? Happens. Some wideband units take great pleasure in killing their sensors. Put another wideband in the tailpipe and compare. Or just swap the sensor to a brand new one and see.
    • Oh, my misunderstand. When the car was running, it sounded ok, but if I gave it any gas it wanted to die but caught itself afterwards. It's very different from how it was a couple months ago when it was warmer outside. The logs show that the AFRs are better during, what I assume, is warmup enrichment. Because it's cold, and air is more dense, should I work on the enrichment bit?
