Since these things (GTR's) seem to spend more time off the circuit than on it we should have a thread to show off your carnage!

Heres my first effort for the new car.

happened at eastern creek today in the wet but think it was partially damaged from oran park testing a few weeks back.

Front wheels were not driving very well after it let go completly.

Hahah thats right ben I forgot about this cars untimely habit of destroying running gear!!

That crown wheel and pinion came from my old GTR so its gotta be the cars fault.

Evocoop I agree but it is fun to look at other peoples desruction. If nothing else it makes me feel better knowing im not the only one.

Ill post photos of my smashed JUN oil pump and snapped crank shaft latter thats worth a look see.

Kinda resembles your bottom end!

Just wait till Duncan makes a showing with his trail if destruction

He will place so much load on the server with his posts in this thread that the entire sau server will go offline for 2 days :)

No baby photo albums at duncans house, just albums full of broken rb26 parts...

Gee's Brad didnt know that happened, sorry to hear/see :D

Must say though, the your new GTR does look and sound and go bloosy well mate, its a very nice car!!

Thanks Chris.

We weren't expecting to find a lunched pinion but thats the result!

Oh this is going to be a good thread :)

I agree. Should be a few nasty items people have broken floating around

Ok here we go.....these arent as bad as bending a rod 90 degrees, but just like any other broken part in a GTR they've been expensive

Launching; (done a few driveshafts now)

Here's my first motor gone;

Oran Park GP

For the life of me i cant find the pics of the second motor going at wakefield, but yeah - lots of oil on the outside of the sump, you can imagine the rest

Brad if you can please send me the tank pics that would be great

You owned one of then ben and its still breaking....

I remember that clutch, was pretty funny weekend.

Ill have to upload them latter and send them to you steve. I found a few better ones of the inside as well.

I have a cardboard box full of bearings that we used to pull out after 10,000K's just to be on the safe side.

Its amusing the parts we keep that have broken.

I still have my broken oil pump and crank somewhere. A few destroyed rods and blocks. multiple gearboxes with holes in them and now front diffs.

haha nice work Brad. "there's your problem!" too much power :wave:

just run without a front diff like John does.

BTW I've got nothing to add to this thread. Other than a few motors (nothing as impressive as coops) the only things I have broken are caster rods - broke 2 of them at different times.

Im not sure if power is to blame Duncan.

We've actually taken a power reduction of sorts trying to gain alot more midrange. Which could also have killed it.

That gear set did over 2 years worth of racing and who knows how much before that.

I think it was our tinkering with the ATTESSA controller (Haltech E11v2) which killed it. Plus the massive slicks would not have helped.

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
    • Can you clarify what you mean by boost cut, do you mean it misfires both when under load (driving) and when stationary and out of gear? Or does the ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high (boost control issue)? Does it occur at idle with no throttle? When you say "the ECU is OK", what ECU is it and why do you think it is OK? Have you used the NEO ECU, and if so do you have a MAP sensor attached? Same for the AFM, why do you think it is OK? Do you have any way to put a fuel pressure gauge on it (even just a mechanical one between the fuel filter and fuel rail)?
