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.

    • Power steering is probably because someone has nuked the HICAS CU and you no longer have the variable power asist doing what it is supposed to. How much boost are you running? You are aware that any more than 10 psi on the stock ECU is just asking for it to go to full R&R (that's Rich & Retard, which is effectively Retarded and Retarded!) which kills all the power. Depending on the exact conditions, it can just be runnign on the fat and stupid end of the maps, then the conditions change, you make a little more boost and the ECU goes into panic.
    • @BuiltNotBought Just as GTSboy said.   If you want driveabilty and more low down torque..keep the stock runners. They are VERY good from a factory. I have them too on my RB25DET NEO and as a GTSboy i have fmic but with stock piping route(i have Blitz intercooler) Iam making around 320 BHP and the car pulls "hard" from like 2,5k all the way to 7k. I have it dyno tuned to mimic N/A power curve and making little less max torque due to the smallbox tranny. But driveability is very great. I had 350Nm below 3k so car feels very quick.   EDIT:  Not my channel but i saw this and i know that is what i want (and i have exactly this)  
    • Looking to sort out a couple of issues on my skyline  It recently was rebuilt, however rebuilder long story short did not give two flying effs about the work he did. So moving forward it's running but I have two persistent issues 1) it has a misfire / lag type of issue (was at higher RPMs but I had a dead piggy back ecu removed which improved it) now it's not as bad but still does it at random, I thought it may have been a boost issue I'm running an older turbosmart dual stage controller, turbosmart told me to try running off gate pressure however it still has a lag at random times. It has New MAF, maf plug, coil packs, sparks, CP harness.. injectors tested and cleaned. Factory ECU. 2) Power steering issue. It is tight as anything. Flushed power steering, rebuilt my pump because the bearing was shot. Flushed again still tight (mainly when parking and going slow into my driveway etc)  No kinks in hard lines, replaced the lines I could see had cracks. Still tough to steer.  I was told to shim a coin and place into the solenoid plug? Is there anything else. My steering angle sensor also has a issue. It's a used one I replaced, does it need to be calibrated? I feel like I've tried everything and this car is my voodoo doll.   
    • Holy shit... wow!!! I totally missed this
    • One main filter. Each tank has a prefilter to keep rocks and small children out, then the big main filter that also does water separation. Clogged the first one so bad it was like a rev limiter at 3200rpm. Literally just like dropping the throttle off and maintaining rpm!
