I saw the smoke coming out of the zorst when I got there.

I was like =(

yep after you's left i pulled the intercooler piping off and fired her up (joys of map sensor :D) and yep the oils definitly coming from the turbo so it's a certain oil seal I'll be pulling it off on saturday instead of the christmas cruise (damn it) just praying it hasn't done a turbine and gone threw the motor but it was still making boost when it started smoking so it should be alright my intakes just full of farken oil now god damn it

it just really pisses me off cos it was running stock boost WTF! i think it just wanted to set a new record for shortest time spent on the road

Also i think i may have seen you slither last night were you pulled off to the side of the road just up from the big roundabout near the formal.

I offer Tree Fity ($3.50) for the turbo :P

I'm planning to fit my hi-flo this xmas hols if you can hang out a few weeks, then you can have my stock one, for a small fee :)

nah i didn't make it that fair lol it went on my way home to wash the car before going to the formal

thanks for the offers guys, good news is i picked up another turbo off a mate for what turned out to be nothing been that he's a painter and i sell paint so we came to an agreement :), should have her back up and running early next week presuming it was just a turbo oil seal

      I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.

      Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.

      That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together

      R32 Sedan - Grip and Drift (have my cake and eat it too build)

      I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain.

      OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
