As someone who has never done Winton before (or only done a track day in a completely different car in completely different track and different country) this is a worry lol. Are Tampered days really that bad? Have heard nothing but "lol, I don't go to tampered days" from literally 100% of people that it's come up with in conversation.

How did you not actually just start laughing on the spot?

This man is the patron saint of Greg's car:

My car is working, so as long as I don't drive it at all, or look at it, or sneeze around it or interact with it in any way.... I will then break it at DECA

Get my RB28 built and off the road literally 20km after At least your money can conceivably come back

I feel sufficiently emasculated when someone just casually drops 50k at something based on a post on Vic WL

I can confirm it's not the cam cover seals as there is no oil anywhere near the cams, or rocker covers

It was originally gold, and I thought it was trans fluid (Transmax Z is gold) but it was just new oil as it gradually got darker, and the fact all the PS stuff was completely spared. It also gets all over the hard trans lines and where they connect to rubber joiners so I've had many "Ah I bet its just XYZ!" to be found no, sorry, it is not XYZ. This is what I thought too, the highest oil was on the merge point of the top and lower cover, I can't think of anything else it really could be, hence the post because I r n00b

Yeah I figured it was pressure related, but wasn't really sure how more pressure wouldn't just cause something to fail fully. What I meant by a4 sized, is that the patch on the plastic cover under the engine (under the sump etc) is about the size of an A4 sheet of paper. Don't know much about oil (of all the problems Ive had this one is new) Cams all look dry, well rocker covers at least. Nothing is oily above where the Harmonic balancer is, so I figure it has to be the crank seal, but again, don't really know shit and could very easily be something else I never knew about

Oil return line to Turbo? I have swapped that already sadly. I should probably also say that it looks like it's dropping on the front sway/running down the sump. Can it be anything other than the front main and/or oil pump gasket? Don't see why they would be load-based however.

What could cause a sizable (a4 sized) oil leak.... under load only? Car can idle forever and not otherwise leak a drop

I spoke too soon, and these now have a new home. Mods please close and all that.

I never saw that footage and I am now scared to do Winton cause that looks f**ked.

Why is stock suspension selling for this much and not this? C'mon someone, get defected and neeeed meeeeeee.

True, I was just always curious what would happen if someone put some serious thought into making a XR6T or GS actually handle, with some track oriented suspension. Like a Supra (which CAN HANDLE, there's vids of people doing John Richardsonesque times at Winton in them) I wonder if its a "Culture of ford owner" problem instead of the car itself, cause noone's really given it a big try. As for Shockworks, heard different things about them. Housemate has a set in his S15 and every person who's ever been in it pretty much reckons they are the shit. (these are not drift spec mind you). I doubt really there's a 6 second a lap difference between Shockworks and MCA and Tien's and Cusco and BC's mind you, probably relies a lot more on the dude sitting in the seat than the specific brand of coilover chosen once you have any of the more highly regarded sets

Why not? In all my internets, I have yet to see any product ever reviewed better than Shockworks suspension on Fords Maybe its cause Fords handle uh, interestingly from the factory, or its Ford owners not expecting such a result. But seriously, people act like they're the second coming of Christ, people fapping over Racepace built whatever comes nothing to the amount of praise that I read regarding these things on fords

Is that a serious comparison or are they decent for the au stuff? Sent from my Nexus 4 using SAU Community mobile app

Spend some money on shockworks coils for it, then really pull out the lols when you outcorner things to boot

Walbro 460. wire it properly overkill the shit out of the wiring Good for the amount of KW on E85 you'd want before it becomes a laggy piece of shit

Try to fix R34 wait for more budget

As above- triple gauge is now sold

If only you were considering a built non GTR RB...

There's really no "safe" speeding. There is however, as mentioned above "safer" speeding. You mitigate your own risks through knowledge of your own ability, and mitigate risks for others down to zero.

I prefer cats over dogs. Still like dogs though, so this is a "cat is more suited to me" thing over cats being superior to dogs. Dogs are awesome, but they do require more effort to maintain, so to speak - Which isn't for everyone.

Just sold my VW. Yes, someone bought a car from me. As a result I am sure it will be trouble free for them for the next 500,000kms
