Hey guys,

Browsing the net today, came across this creation. Only thing is. I'm not sure what to think about it. I like it because its a Murcielago. I don't think i like the body "additions" they've put on, such as the front bar diffuser? And the big air ducts on the side skirts?

Anyway,

tell me what you think?

Off topic ... just a tad... but...

I'd like to see something like a SHOWROOM MUSEUM of GTRs and SKYLINES just like they have 2X Lamborghini Museums.

Some of the cars can be perhaps 'donated' for a month or two of each year by its fastidious owner.

I've seen 1X Lamborghini Museum at Sant 'Agata half an hour east of Modena

There's a Ducati Museum and a Maserati Museum at Modena (-got chucked out of the Maserati Service area there lol)

Yes, I saw the Ferrari Museum and Test Track at Maranello half an hour south of Modena

And I thought... Wouldn't it be nice to have a GTR and SKYLINES Museum to visit, have cruises there, technical info. sourcing

Yes, I'm aware of a bit of what's been done in Japan, and I'm aware of how much another 'Terry' has put into a Racing Nissan display at Gosford (Trackside Rsetaurant), but I must say that Lamborghinis have done their homework superbly with

i) The manufacturing plant able to be viewed from the top floor of the museum thru' huge glass panels overlooking a dust-free area

ii) A Diablo planted on a wall, and when you cross a hidden beam, it plays a recording of the thing screaming around a test track

iii) Project Cars

iv) Special Edition Countaches

v) Miura

vi) Racing Lambos still in livery

vii) New ones for sale in the foyer

viii) History of how Lamborghini Snr was told by Enzo to go back and fix up tractors rather than coach Ferrari how to make a decent clutch > a wall to wall history of B&W photos to modern day colour shots

ix) On the other side of the foyer - an aftermarket shop with Bulls everywhere on ties, leather jackets, golf equipment, valises

Ferrari is nowhere near as friendly. The manufacturing is hush-hush unless you'd bought one or had been on a medical conference package. Ferrari was still interesting and glitzy, but I felt cramped and the cars were cramped. It seemed to be more of a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. Whereas the staff at Lambo wanted to know where you came from yaddayadda. I did get some dvd footage of the service area too before I got chucked out of that too (along with Maserati). Yeh naughty boy. :blink:

Saw Lambo service technicians doing computer mapping of cars in the car park before they'd fang it up the street for a run. Whilst driving to a local store for lunch in that little township, it was nothing unusual to a see another Lambo heading back to the Service Dept.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
