so i was just leaving my house this morning, and as i got half way down my street, the rear right hand stud sheered off, and as a result the rim ended upin some guys garden.

due to a lack of a rim, the car slid along the road for a bit, into a kerb, and smashed the front bar :no:

all the underbody is shreaded, the side skirts are all cracked and torn, and the suspension parts on the rear right are basically screwed.

scared the shit out of me, lucky i was only going slow, else it could have been really bad

ive got somepicson my camera, im uploading them as we speak.

if anyone knows a good repairer for these types of problems, let me know!

thanks.

guess i should probably mention it was my r/c car..

however it now lives!

the only part that died was a bug-eye wrx shell, which got replaced with a JGTC R34 GTR shell, and it gained about 15rwhp just from that alone.

:rofl:

      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.
