yeah, the car was fine on the last track day, but i have since heard some bad stories about GTR's on street tyres... i dont wanna have to buy a new RB26. :)

I think I may be a case of the old sump Baffle & or no surge protector. 12 trackdays no sump baffle or surge restrictor, on street tyres. Last year EC warm up lap BANG! broken inlet valve #3 right beside where the surge protector shim goes?

On inspection nothing except a metal fatigue caused from surges of hot and cold oil could explain. $4k for a new engine, $1k to repair turbo (Inlet valve squeezed past the Outlet valve made its way out to the turbo), $4k for the labour, $5k on go fast & track longevity bits. Two parts which were included, a sump baffle and a restrictor shim $500.

I think so many thing can go wrong at anytime, there are other related factors such as heat, age of car, KM travelled, how hard a life it has had, its hard to say exactly what goes wrong.

If you don’t have things like a bigger radiator, oil cooler, larger oil pump, baffle, restrictor, I think personally you can limit your risk by keeping the RPM’s below 7000 and not to think you are playing PS2.

My thoughts only!

nah, its easy, after each session you just go to "GT Maintenance" and choose the oil change option. you see the black oil drain out and loevely freash green oil come in instead. Plus, you get back about 5% of horsepower and it only costs 250 credits

On another note, Red Im thinking of taking the day off and taking the Fireblade out in the morning as well. What are your plans?

Sorry Oz I'll be taking the work vehicle out for a spin. I'll wave when I come past at around 4pm though.

;)

Well, the team was small today! at least there wasn't much traffic :D

2 cars go out, 2 retire with missfires :) I better post a "Help! Car hesitating when flooring it" thread.

See y'all at the next one

Yea what a pain in the arse that was,,,,Fancy getting a miss-fire in 5th at 200kmh and then it just got worse,,,. Thats the 1st problem I've ever had with her in almost 2 years of ownership. Oh well at least I got to kick some rexy butts.

Neil.

    • Hello!  i just finished manual swaping my r34 skyline with a r33 rb20de box(RB71C)box  When the car is running it squeaks crazy loud and it was smoking from the gearbox area. The gearbox is fine it was tested. The clutch slave cylinder seems like it doesn't fully releases the clutch. I want to ask if this noise is from the throw out bearing or could it be the clutch assembly or disk att.xFliq87Gzw6kImKBVqDebXkj0fBqymk0JaYeP3_3SlM.mp4
    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always!
