Hi guys

After getting a few parts put on my car, and requiring the power to be disconnected ( which it is still disconnected for the time being)

My boot wont shut. Its like the little doover on the boot wont click back and lock.

Is there power to the locker on the boot itself?

Or its just shat itself.

Try adjusting the little 'hook' thing that the boot holds onto. If you undo the nut holding it, you can adjust the hook up and down. Pull it up so that it's easier for the boot to hold onto it. I remember when my hook's nut was loose, it just dropped down and my boot couldn't grab it to lock.

Hope that made some sense.

When i took my rear spoiler off i must of drop a nut in the actual boot and made its way to the boot lock and jammed it.

My bloody luck i tell ya what. Only realised when i took the lock off this morning.

      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.

      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.
