Not bad, but saw more impressive display today at Mallala by some Supertrucks doing a demo at CAMS Nationals. 1300HP and MASSIVE torque from 14L turbocharged (45-85psi!!!) beasts will do that.

Supertruck champs on 22nd-23rd July ata Mallala.

no i was in a white 33 GTST, how good was the parking lot! there were more porsches and BMW's in the car park than on the track.

Yeah, nice silver Turbo Ceyanne (sp?) as well. Tend not to get too many Commodore yobs at events like that.

That Freightliner Supertruck sounded crazy, like it was just about to grenade itself!

Yeh i was there pit crew for my mate in his Superkart #85 we came 6th in the nationals, with our mate coming 1st and team mate coming 2nd was a fantastic weekend.

And did you see the dohnuts the trucks were doing??? They were gold!, The yellow truck sounded PHAT when driving thru the pits, sounded like a PP ROTA!

I was wondering if you were going out there as I remember you mentioned something earlier about working on the superkarts.

I ended up in the 430's garage :D. I know the owner of Stevens old 600hp GT2R, I was talking to him about it when and then ended up in with the car. Theres something about $475,000 cars that just make them special. So much carbon fibre!!!!!!

      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.
