The Bogan

Call me on 0400 005 960, Eastern creek sound like a perfect meeting spot, you can have a look and I can watch as my car will not be ready then. Mark.

Yes

Bloody cheaters, wish I had this traction thing with high RPM launch, stupid physics.

I reference Wiki when Im doing reports, my bosses get a laugh out of it.

10W-40, The motor has done maybe 2000k of road use, and only about 12 laps at Wakefield 3 sessions of 4 laps super spints and 6 laps of Eastern Creek (but in the wet), so not even getting hot, catch can is being redesigned as more of a oil air seperator style of thing and restricors are being changed to a 1 mm at the rear (whats in there now) and blocking the middle one (has a 1mm in here), the VCT drain is being reconnected and the drains are being rerouted to the left hand side of the sump(VCT has a 1mm restrictor). Hopefully that fixes the problem, if the lifters get noisey the spring will go back in the Tomei pump to give it some more oil as it was removed to try and stop the oil surge before but that was unsuccessfull. Goes in again tomorrow for the next week or so. So with a new TO4Z, recoed gear box, new clutch and the oil under control I may be able to get some fun hot laps in with the new motor, finally. Hopefully.

Ask your local police officer

Street tyres are a go go.

Still got it. Buy it now

Lots of nice bits and pieces. Review please if anyone has purchased from here.

Your local motor authority, In Sydney, NSW the RTA has alot of stuff on the web site, you just need to spend a couple of hours searching.

Carbon wrap reminds me of another thread here "GTR badges on GTS-Ts" Cheap, but does go well with the imitation alloy checker plate floor mats. LOL at people dising the "wing"

Price drop to $100

Mine was fine in a GTST

Wrap it, if it cracks in a coulpe of years get a new one and wrap that, also efective tape/shielding on local parts works for me. Wet it first and wear gloves and long sleeves, that s hit is itchy.

Will be blocking the middle restrictor in a couple of weeks, so only a 1mm at the rear and the 1mm at the VCT, the TOMEI pump pumps coupious amounts of oil, we will see if the lifters like that if not then may need to go solids, will hit the track ASAP after fix and post results, as for the leak down Ive been told for a forged engine with the rings that have been used (hard ?) that 15% is OK by as many people that say its not, LOL. A guage was put where the dip stick goes and at WOT there was not a significant amount of pressure in the sump. I suppose every engine is different in its own way, it goes like the powers of piss, I just need the oil to stay where its meant to. On a side note my syncros came out the drain hole when I changed the oil in the gearbox for some Redline, not sure if the Redline will mask the damage anymore, LOL. Fingers crossed. Mark

Yes, any fines on the car may come back to you.

Wheels sold, still got seats and a MOMO steering wheel MOMO link http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/370588-momo-race-steering-wheel/page__p__5908033__fromsearch__1#entry5908033

Gets a lot of blow by when cold but when warm its a lot less, tolerance was apparently in spec for the piston and rings used, wisco piston if I'm recalling right. And yes the motor is new.

Thanks, Mark

edit: Sorry, I just put the tape on the rims and they come to 9.5 The front just touch the sway bar on full lock but are OK with a 5 mm spacer and the inner guards need to be removed, the rear just fit but do scrub a bit on big bumps on the rolled and slightly pumped guards. Ride height is 350 front 340 rear. Got the rims from Pete from ADVAN Performance a couple of years ago, they were the rims from his shop car Gracer, old VOLKS. I like them alot, they do need a reco though.

Welcome mate. And S1RWDFTW

AS BIG AS YOU CAN FIT UNDER THE GUARDS WITHOUT RUBBING OR HITTING ANYTHING. Rubber = grip so the more rubber you got the less understeer, more traction you have, My RWD boat runs on 265/40 17 all round on a 10" rim on track days, it has helped dial out some understeer and helps with traction, you can do this by playing with you suspension but for a street car that sees the track now and then you cannot beat size for a quick fix. My street tyres are 245/45 17 on the stock R34 rim (17 x 7.5) Also only use good quality HiPo tyres (Semis Formula R), cheaper tyres will go of really quick and youll just slide around destroying them.

Its got baffles behind the vents. They think its possessed by demons from hell, going to try running slightly less oil, mucking around with the catch can and hoses, maybe redirecting some oil from the pump straight back to the sump, and if none of that works a scavenger pump may be the next option. All this for a daily driver / occasional weekend track day car I do need to win LOTTO right about now. Marks prayer, "Dear JEBUS let me win LOTTO and Ill shout the boys a free track day, AMENS" Stupid oil doing stupid stuff, FFS, how hard is it..............................

The only thing that gets ironed of mine is my stupid work clothes, unless we are going out and the missus makes me take my shirt off to iron it so I dont look like a bum. I do needs some new T shirts, long and short sleeve, with good print jobs, my 2009 superlap T shirts are still good where as my 2010 ones have lost 75% of the print and became oil rags. I vote no to zippers on hoddies, the zipper end bit always scratches stuff.
