Hey guys,

I thought i would share my frustrations with everyone on this forum considering i am slow but surely being driven mad... Recently, my hand brake slipped due to the handbrake being slightly up during some lateral cornering :) so one wonderful day at work security contacted my manager and i was taken from my work area and told that my car (r32) had rolled ~100 meters in the car park into a fence. Damage was to the front spoiler, my clear indicator, and right front quarter panel...So i have decided to prefit, sand, prime, and spray a r32 trial front bar (mybodykits - ebay), m spec side skirts (carmate), and a gtr spoiler!

I have obtained high build primer(2 pack), hardner, thinner, clear, basecolour, body filler, sander, grinder.........

AFTER several weeks.... i should have took out a 1200 bucks from my account walked down to the local performance centre and had it sprayed fitted and ready to drive out! great experience F-lot of work!

LOL!

thats a pretty lucky escape actually, that it didnt hit any other cars on the way!

but now im worried because i generally neglect leaving my car in gear. though my handbrake is fine and i dont drift. was yours in gear? and does it being it gear prevent it from rolling completely?

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      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
