glad your not too hurts

reality check for the kiddies out there looks like and impact speed of around 30-40 km/h

any faster and you would have been in hospital for a good deal of time and you lucky whatever you hit had a good diameter which helps in a lower speed impact

Dude ! Glad your ok. Went through something similar about a month ago sitting at an intersection waiting to turn right was hit head on by a Porsch running a red trying to avoid hitting a van doing a u turn at the lights ! Ambo, intesive care the works ! Concrete medium strip got him airbourne on impact, spun 180 and smashed into the back of my line above the rear right wheel ! So I know what youve gone through and as long as your ok the rest dont mean squat !

damn !!!!!!!!!!!

that is a pretty bad accident.....I think you and I both have used one of our nine lives.

I had an accident slightly worse than that a few years back....XF falcon rammed by corolla from behind at 80km/h + and the car flipped vertically and landed on a fence....it was a corolla sedan csi after the accident it looked like a chop top hatchback....

Were you shaking a bit when you got out of the car ??

I know I was....

Anyways at least your ok !!!!

Good to read your not too badly banged up. (it good to have a war story, but not have to tell it from a wheel chair) :bunny:

Bugger. Could well of been the country's quickest std RB20...what tyres were you running again? Your thing was half the reason i didnt bother running mine as i knew you were about to put down the numbers and fly the flag

Hope your recovery goes well....and a R32 shell comes your way soon!

wow...

can I ask where you're located to have frost on the road? I've never seen this in sydney..

also, before you ditch the car, please sell me the vents and other internal bits that you won't use in your next car.

glad you came out of it with a little rib pain only.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
