First parts funny, rest of it quappy http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QXDNxkUiUws&feature=related

I know its sad a? Dont worry, il be over at tga soon so i can you to be my bitch and do it for me while i drink beer and laugh at you.... ;D If you can steal it off josh that would be mean, I would love you for it

Found and its F*CKED!! Thanks guys!!!

My fuel pump doenst have power going to it so i thought the best place to start would be to check the fuses and relays relating to it, but i encountered a very early problem. I dont read japanese and have no idea which f$(cking ones they are. Can someone tell me which of the fuses and relays are relating to the fuel pump are in a gc8?

To mount the throttle cable you will have to fab up a small bracket out of flatbar or what ever you have around, mine mounts off the one of the starter motor bolts and a shorter one. You will have to weld up some of the galleries on the throttle body also and get it machined flat once welded up. It wasnt the gearbox cross member that was scalloped out, it was the front cross member. You can kind off see it in the last photo with the heat wraped exhaust how it is scalloped to go around the middle pipe. Im unsure about swapping the crossmembers over as i have no idea what an NA one looks like.

For mine i used a return system, il take a photo of the fuel line setup so i can show how it was done. I knew there was something small i left off of this.

Oh and my other favorite tyres which came very accustomed to digging holes in brads lawn where these puppies 34in KL71 Kumhos

I like my R888's they are good for driving around on the road on. Or there is always the Porsche cup Michelin slicks i have.... mwahahahahaha. Serious comment, the nicest road tyres iv driven on the had a good performance aspect to them and they worked mint in the wet (i know this because i found it harder to spin out been a dick head) are falkin f452's!!! I rate them highly!!

At the start Finished, note the massive gap between radiator and engine, plus the overflow bottle My Old not really tuned at all exhaust Tuned Exhaust Making the cold air box

Doing an EZ30R conversion The biggest annoyance about this conversion is if you are trying to fit it into an old chassis, you will find the nose of the new cars are bigger and have more room for the radiator, which isn’t a major issue if your creative, but other wise it’s a very straight forward swap! Mechanical Exhaust: You either make up your own exhaust manifold to go around the front cross member, which will be time consuming if you want them to be a tuned length. Easiest is to go under the cross member but then the lowest part of your car becomes the exhaust manifold which is a pain as I have bent mine up a bit because of it Other option is to do between the block and the cross member which is a very tight fit and will require much beer to achieve The way I did it though is to put the standard EZ30R extractors on the motor and scallop out the front cross member, which is the easiest and performance wise the best as it has tuned length extractors from factory. You wont have any issues with getting a LVV cert with chopping out your cross member but you need to made sure you do it smooth, and not leave shape corners in the cross member post cutting as it is a prime region for a crack to occur. The one big down side is that your headers become the lowest thing to the ground under your car and will get wrecked it you like been stupidly low. Radiator: Easiest Option: Get an EZ30D radiator out of a BH legacy as they will fit in most standard radiator areas quite easy. This is what I have done. If you are keeping it NA then this will easily do the job, you just need to make sure you have decent fans!!! The factory ez30R radiators are LOADS bigger and most cases you wont fit them in there so its not worth the effort, you are better off doing the below. Best Option: Alloy radiator, which will have to be custom, or a modified ver 8 sti one, as no one makes one for the ez30r off the shelf that I have found so far. Fans - You need to use slim fans, which will take some hunting around. For my main fan i managed to score from a parts bin a thin air conditioning radiator fan with a steel shroud on it. I used this as my main fan because it was 2 speed and worked really well with the shroud on it  Throttle Body: Unless you want to go fly by wire, you need to scrap the standard one. Cheapest option is to get a falcon throttle body (im pretty sure mine was either that or a commodore one but I cant remember because it was so long ago) from a wreckers and a custom bracket to hold your throttle cable. Then you will also need to buy a bosch throttle position sensor to go with this also. If you use a commodore or a falcon TB, there is lots of veins in it which need to be welded up and then have the face that attaches to your plenum milled down. Air Con: You can choose to hook this up, but you will need to get some custom lines made up etc. Plus you MAY have issues with the AC pump on the ez30r needing an external thermostat because of the differences in the systems between the BC/BF legacy systems and the BL/BH systems Power Steering: Just use the EZ30R steering pump, you just need to braise some lines together, which isn’t much Electrical: ECU options are still kind of limited, the best option here is a link g3 plus (if you can find one 2nd hand, but there aren’t many around) or buying a g4 extreme. For the value for money aspect, i would buy anything else because you will end up wasting serious coin in that department. If you are considering using a standard ECU, STOP!! They are a whore of a thing, im just going to leave it at that. And if you are keen enough you still have to pay Subaru NZ to de-immobilize it, which isn’t cheap!!! Recommended extras: GET A BIG CLUTCH!! Because you have torque instantly, it is very easy to destroy a factory clutch by miss timing releasing the clutch and putting your foot right up it.

Your just jealous ;D See if you can find another TPS to try out to see if your problem continues just for 100% peace of mind that is isnt that. Also does it do this when its cold or all the time? If its running like poo's when its cold i would suggest that it is running to lean in warm up, which you could reset your ecu to see if that solves the issue. Although, when you say it ran better after unpluging the TPS i doubt it would be that.

Please note, to do most hillclimbs/bent sprints for most clubs you need a cage. Gone is the day when the fastest car you could buy for 5 grand was a 1300 carb'd mini or austin. You can get quite quick honda civics/integras, subaru wrx's etc for that money, which means that 120km/h becomes the new 70km/h when you run out of talent and leave the road.... :-X :'(

I do agree it is kind of crap that it will be removing from the clubsport championships. But on another note, to win the hillclimb championship, would you want to be in a car that doesnt have a cage? I still think it will be good as it will give it more publicity and get more people keen and involved in it. On a personal note tho, i so know what i want to do now!!!

The friend that told me about it, has just been talking to Shane Harris and was told that off the record, one of the places they are trying very hard to secure as a location, is the turoa ski field road. Race to the sky tarmac Edition? IM SO KEEN!!!!

I know im not fast off the mark on this, but i just found out this morning and im all barred up now!! National Hill Climb Contest Relaunched - Original Link A national hill climb series is being introduced to the MotorSport New Zealand motor racing calendar this year. MotorSport president Shayne Harris said it is anticipated the first round will be run early in the spring and will be open to all classes of cars. “The event will carry series status in its first year and it is our intention to upgrade it to a full championship event carrying gold star status once the competition becomes established. “The format will involve two qualifying weekends in each island, with one day on tarmac and one on gravel with the final to be held by the end of April 2011 in the South Island. The final will alternate between the islands in the following years,” he said. “Cars will compete on both tarmac and gravel surfaces. “Hill climbs were hugely popular with the public and we believe they will prove so again. In the early years of hill climbing most events were held on tarmac, and the list of winning cars includes single seater Ferrari, Cooper BSA, Begg Ford and March 77B. The growth of rallying and four wheel drive cars has seen the winners list switch to saloon cars “Hill climbing is one of the oldest disciplines on the New Zealand racing scene with the first national champion being found in 1957. It continued as a stand alone competition until 1994 when it was combined with motokhana and autocross as part of a ClubSport Championship. “We now plan to re-establish it as a stand alone championship,” he said. Former gold star champion Andrew Hawkeswood, who recently contested the Pike Peaks Hill Climb in the US, said reintroduction of the event is great news. “I did Pikes Peak because there are no worthwhile hill climb events in New Zealand. I’ll certainly be interested in having a look at it,” he said. Five times winner, Marty Roestenburg is also thrilled at the prospect. “Conditions allowing I’d definitely have another go. It would be a great event and allows cars from grassroots to fancy machines to compete. It would be more economical than a full on rally.”

They are simple enough. Just make sure you label things like hoses and as you take them off if you havent done it before. Oh and if its twin turbo the only thing that is a mega slut is the vacuum lines! They are a pain in the arse if you get one wrong and have to figure out which one it is (Ask brad... haha)

I do approve!! Farking sweet!!

I like the photos of some of the stuff below, quite cool how they are no longer using rubber bushes on the front control arm. Pretty neat work!

I dont know if anyone else has noticed yet, but who here likes the carbon canards at the front for extreme downforce while hitting max speed yo'll

Saw this at Bayfair on the weekend....

You can get genuine bearings from the states through a subaru dealer over there for $260 delivered to your door NZ (That was what Dtech last payed for the ones for Bryce's car).

Its more like brokeback, but we are alittle more careful and use protection. A fake name. On a serious note. The only reason i wanted to find out about an EZ36R is because I would rather find out now how viable it is to swap to one. Rather than get a few years down the track and realise that i just turboed my ez30r, and it would have cost me pretty much the same money to turbo an ez36r, and the difference in swapping the motors wasnt as much as i thought it would be.

You guys are all dicks. Hahahahahaha

I would have no where to fit the damn thing. And i realised its way easier to make some pipe work and put a hair dryer on it instead. But that doenst mean i like turbos more, i still think blowers are evil.
