haha I did Ray I did! :pirate:

But I was hungry... :blink:

I was suffering axel tramp so bad, best was 2.3 (my best ever when standard springs/shocks/clutch was 1.9) I even slipped the clutch out on one run as carefully as possible, and as it came out, went up in axel tramp again as I got onthe gas, so was on and off trying to control it (excuses excuses... :) )

tyres - dunlop sp9000 - 225/50/16 (brand new)

pressure was around 22psi

Yeah was good meeting you to Chris, always nice to put names to faces .havn't looked to see where the oil was leaking from as yet but wasn't leaking when I got home and oil pressure was still good so bit of a mystery but I'll find it and be out there again to get that pb.Was happy with my first run of 12.5 though after so long.Putting pineapples in fixed my axle tramp problem in the drag position

Axle tramp bad ,it's where your tyre's bounce up and down when you launch it of the line and feels like the car is falling apart,you either have to power through it, which is hard to do as first instinct is to back off or back of and give it to it again either way you loose time

Axel tramp....heard this expression before but can someone explain it?

Chris what time did u end up getting?

your wheels are turning at different speeds cause it to do what leg said... just power through it! Mine used to do it too... didn't do anything to fix it, it just sorted itself out!

Oil Problem found, pumping oil out the rockers into the air box never had a problem with the old standard oil pump but the N1 pump must be pumping a lot more oil around the engine .Only loseing oil on the low side breather not the high side so will have to put a restrictor in that side

    • Yea - I mean I've seen my fuel pump which is decades old and uh, while I'm not saying this with real knowledge... but I sure get the ick at using anything in the fuel system that produced the state of that pump. Many years ago I went through multiple pumps (and strainers) before I dropped the tank to clean it out with extreme violence. I'm talking the car would do maybe 50km before coming to a halt, which resulted in me cleaning out the filter with some brake cleaner and going on my way. None of my stuff ever looked like what came out of your fuel tank. I don't think I'd be happy with it unless every single component was replaced (or at least checked/cleaned/confirmed to be clean here).
    • I'm not going to recommend an EBC pad. I don't like them. Just about anything else would suit me better. I've been using Intima pads for a while now.
    • Agreed, and in particular the earth strap that should go from the subframe to the chassis but it often broken or left off. There is a section in the R32 workshop manual you can follow for troubleshooting if you don't see anything suspicious, and depending where you are (there is no location on your user profile) you should be able to get your hands on a second hand replacement unit still if needed
    • Yeah they mention as a R34 for 2.5 Turbo...but then again thos "small" were also for R34 by that different site. But i look into it and that 310mm EBC is for R34 GTT. And by those you linked the specs are the same 🙂    EDIT: I found these on one site here: DBA 4000 series T3 DBA42304S They are 310mm...and it says are for R34GTT...are there good? EDIT2: ok they have pads too.  What "color" should i get for street use? I dont want/need some noisy ones...(and if they are not that dusty that is good too)
    • Yeah, shame. Maybe  driver's carpet is available 🙏. I am waiting for both amayama and nangun to confirm.
