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.

    • There's restrictor pills in the stock boost control hoses. That's how they set the amount that was bled off and hence the "high" boost setting. The usual mod in the day was to remove it and send the "high" boost setting up to about 14 psi.
    • Thanks Duncan, that's the best info I've read. Furthermore after learning about the PCM programming side controlling the factory boost solenoid, the purpose of the solenoid is to "bleed" boost when pin 25 is earthed, thus allowing spring pressure in the wastegate actuator to overcome diaphragm boost pressure, thus closing or reducing the position of the wastegate flap creating more boost as the turbo is able to spin faster. It's pretty cool to see a designated Pill to do exactly this, would have liked to have seen it with a tiny filter over the end for those moments in vacuum.  The constant bleed pill has now been removed completely from the system and solenoid boost control has been restored once again.   Case closed 😂
    • The wideband reading is meaningless if it's not running. Why are you using shitty old sidefeeds on any engine, let alone a Neo? What manifold and fuel rail are you using to achieve that? Beyond that, can't help you with AEM stuff as I've never been their ECU/CAS combo.
    • Manual boost controllers (where a little of the boost was bled off) were quite common back in the day, because they were cheap and easy. Generally they had a manual adjustment screw rather than being fixed like yours. Down side is they always bleed boost, not just when you want them to so an electronic boost controller that uses a solenoid will have less lag.
    • Hello , im new here and i have A31 home build  RB25det neo stock eng / turbo  aem ems 2 blue connector  aem 3.5 map aem cas disk aem wideband connected to ecu  355 lph pump 550 nismo yellow injectors side feed aftermarket regulator  and won’t start with base aem tuner basic tune eventually flipped cas 180 degree so it triggers on correct stroke not in exhaust cycle  Now it won’t start Wideband reads 10 and 11 at lowest fuel setting  and will share calibrations soon for aem tuner i think something is wrong in aem tuner    please if you have any information, am very grateful
