I might as well join in on this thread, Was looking at a stagea for a while, but ended up buying a gts4 from sydney with an rb25 conversion. First turbo car for me, so will probably ask stupid questions too but will try and keep them to a minimum :)

G'day Max & Chris! Welcome aboard! I was going to post something like...

"Ladies and Gentlemen,welcome aboard SAU Airlines(Skylines...), Flight 30,31,32,33,34. This is not your Captain,and we expect your trip to be rapid,enthralling,eventful and fun. If you look out to your right rearview mirror,you'll see objects getting left behind. I'm not expecting any trouble on our journey,but always have your seatbelt fastened in case of any unexpected turbulence from authorities,rednecks or keyboard warriors. Our estimated cruising speed should not be bragged about,nor divulged for the same reasons as turbulence,however feel free to move around your cabin to enjoy your ride. At any time during ownership,please feel free to call on SAU with any questions or concerns you may have. Enjoy your trip,and thanks for boosting with SAU 'Lines..."

But then I considered that a bit corny and...oh,wait. Was that the voices in my head,or did I really tap that out?!? LOL!!!

Arr they was just ridin' shotgun, keeping the trucks off the a$$ of those slow old unreliable 32's. It's also the best place to pick up all the spare parts that vibrated off the recycled tokyo taxi's. Only trouble is your windscreen gets covered in oil from all the leaks.

And thats the gratitude you show them................next time when you break down out of mobile coverage don't ask a 33 to help, they'll all be at the weighbridge having coffee!!

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • 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.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
