Most definatly have not luckily!! Thats why i generally don't goto the smaller one if i can help it

Oil cooler atleast if its gona be limiter bashing for a few laps lol,

wont be bashin the limiter weezy :)

have it in 3rd and feather the throttle :D

Mitch, a mate of mine works at JMS, I highly suggest you go with their deal, they will be making 9/10ths of f**k all just to get you back on road.

Wayne, Cubes left a while ago now due to many reasons, he still posts from time to time, but under a different user name

Put simply, I wouldn't take it out. Definitely be considering atleast a FMIC, probably even oil cooler.

fmic isnt a super essential if your not going out there and competing et. neither is a oil cooler.

both are great pre-cautions and do great on the track but in this weather and the fact that your only doing 30min intervals you'll be fine.

i was running the standard ca non turbo rad and no oil cooler and a custom supra fmic setup till recently for a few track days and it worked fine. the 30min breaks between drifts were more then enough of a cool down.

if you plan on going out there more often, then i'd look into the above things (mainly just a fmic) and you'll be alright.

    • 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 
    • 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.
