What are jibbering about? A 15K 1992 GTSt will smash both of them! :)

Pfft, you still peddling that rubbish mate? :) I got seriously wasted by Russ (Giant) at the last track day I attended. I had the GTR out on TT RE55s and he had the R35 and took 3 seconds off me totally stock. Mind you my left leg wouldn't work in hard cornering right handers so I've hung up the racing hat for safety.

And no, I haven't seen anything nice lately except a 98 M3 I might grab. Still an awesome quality machine.

Not so much the spotted car - but the spotted rim.

Or more correctly - the spotted rim scrape!

Now I see lots of scraped wheels but this is particularly hardcore - especially when you consider the car it came from!

Seems that money certainly does not buy parking talent.

* prize for whoever guesses what car this is from :P

edit: dam - thought it was a 997 GT3, not quite.

Geez Ash - you're slipping!

Jarrod wins :D

Will sort out a nice prize for ya.

It's one hell of a scrape though - on a Scud! I don't know how you could even do it so badly, let alone in a $700,000 car!

Mind you, someone in Sydney has done a real number on the front left on the QP. Evil curbs are everywhere.

    • 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 
    • 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.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
