are there any more spots ant? I think id enjoy it but I wouldn't get into it. I work with a guy that races and he said every race meet costs around 500 bucks each. from tyres and rebuilding your engine after every second meet etc to get the most power etc. can go to wake field for that.

hah don't you watch rally matt? half the cars are hatch backs the other half are evos and wrxs

I highly doubt it there are spots, but you can call up the kart club and ask.. 500 seems steep, but could be right, a race meet a fair amount of stuff goes on, i was told tyres would last about 5 or so practise sessions, there about 200 bucks a set i think.. and a pratise day at cameron park is under 100 i think... still think it would end up being the cheapest competitive circuit style racing you could do?...

those rally hatches are converted to 4wd though im pretty sure?... like focus, puegot citron etc.. and got heaps better enigine in them..

Sweet, will keep an eye out for you! Be careful around Newcastle itself if your car is modified, the boys in blue had ruined the car scene up here due to the minority that spoilt it for all of us!

yeah my work mate sells go karts and builds them and races them. he said tyres will last 2 race meets and engine lasts 2 or 3. he said you can do it cheaper but you will never ever win and he also said hes spent 60k on go karts lol. he does speed way though. he said tarmac in a gokart is pointless. its follow the leader until someone f**ks up so if no one f**ks up the person in the lead first will win though hes probably exaggerating a bit im sure.

hah yeah fair enough. Apparently the most ckmmon beginer rally car is a hyindi excel twin cam? so sure something along those lines would be good.

You are a knob :P Go karts is one of the best forms of motorsport to learn in! Considering you drive a yellow one it would be good for you haha

If i had the choice i would be racing karts, but instead will have to keep chipping away at my shitbox!

Ant, will probably go to Ringwood on Sunday so no go for me!

Blew my first ever intercooler hose off today, scared the bajeezus out of me. Thought I had dun broked the engine haha.

Was overtaking an L plater in a 100 zone and all of a sudden 'PAA CHHHSHHTTT.... splutter splutter cough cough stall'.

It would barely run with the pipe blown off, ide dare say due to having an AFM before the turbo?

As it kept stalling, I had to start it about 15 times and limp it into a little sidestreet as I couldnt really stop where I was. Would this little incident have done any damage? After connecting it back up and starting it again it was fine, but blew some smoke when I turned it on for the first time. It was fuel coloured smoke I think, definitely not blue. Doesnt do it anymore though but I can still hear a tiny leak somewhere that I will have to find.

In other news, when I swap my turbo to a gt3076r from the gt3582r on it now, will it be safe to drive like a granny to DVS JEZ to get it tuned? (thats where I plan to go as its closest to Newy and he gets lots of good reviews). It will be driven from Port Macquarie though not Newcastle.

Hey Ben,

Yep pretty normal, would have run rich as fark while the pipe was off... You are lucky you didn't foul the plugs... JEZ will likely do a smoke test for you to find any leaks.

I wouldn't suggest you swap the turbo and drive as the 3076 will need more fuel down low (what ECU do you have?)... If you stay off boost it may be ok, it's mostly highway but you can't boost up hills etc or it'll be bad news...

Ask JEZ what his thoughts are?

Good choice on the 3076, you should gain a few hundred rpm spool while not losing too much power...

Yeah Ill ask jez. Only reason I want to swap the turbo first is because im not loaded and would rather use the money from selling my old turbo to fund the new one instead of selling it afterwards.

      Neil's R33 Gts-t Build

      By Victory · Posted

      All I can say Duncan is good luck and I hope that Neil did not run any E85 in Cheryl. I have recently experienced the full spectrum of fuel tank issues in my R33's that had been caused by E85 and contaminated fuel. When you take the cover off the top of the tank and have a look inside you will get an understanding of how easy it will be. Best case situation is clean fuel with minimal contamination. My GTR was like this and it was a very simple operation to just grab the fuel pump carrier bracket and slide it up and out of the tank. My three GTS_T's had different levels of fuel contamination that was probably caused by E85 in the fuel.  In the worst case all of the metal components in the tank had rusted to the point where there were pieces of rusted metal swirling around in the tank. This required the removal of the exhaust, the tailshaft, the complete rear cradle and the fuel tank. The components in the tank were that rusted that it took days to get the fuel pump carrier and the mounting brackets out of the tank. When the tank was finally cleaned, everything inside the tank had to be replaced. With the tank all back together I could then reinstall it in the car along with everything else that had to come out. Good luck and I hope that you find a clean tank.
