OMG my sump crashed into a big ally box with blue bits on it.

I can see me at super cheap from now on.....

"Hi I need some cheap oil for an oil change. 3 bottles of whatever is on special...

"What, 1litre bottles?

"No, 5 each, Brad promised I'd never kill another bearing this way

That's a challenge I really trhink I am up to :(

hey evil chris.....in 10 days.....thus the rush! Oran Park last weekend of May. Wathc out dinosairs

yous drunker than me. I can still type coheirantly when i need too.

There's fancy shit inside it too!

I measured it and you will need 3 bottles of the finest. thats a pretty expensive oil change but still cheaper than a rebuild. Actually it costs me less to buy bearings than it does to buy oil now I think about it!

Still a bottle or two short of my tank!!

If you do another bearing Im dry sumping it and shoving the oil pump up Guss' arse!

There is nothing else we can do about oil control using this stupid pump layout.

Myt welds on that sump are actually pretty straight, needed another crownie before I welded it.

Indeed - no other GTRs entering this round? :blink:

Looks like my chances of getting there are better - but still could be impacted on stuff beyond everyone's control. The motor is in the car and will be running with a couple of hours work - then she just needs a run in, check the tune and it's right to go. Fingers crossed.

haha, that's be the day to attend!

His new donk should survive, or it friggin well better cause we don't have the spare built yet.

Sam spent ages checking and double checking then I spent ages checking again before it was assembled.

Duncan seems pretty happy with the sump and external pick up arrangement. The sump only JUST fits inside the sway bar and chassis rails. It held just shy of 14 litres from dry!

good stuff jay. and brad for providing the location :( still a lot to get it ready for the weekend but at least shes running.

Chris - its qual and race 1 on sat, or 2 races on sunday. sunday is probably a better day to watch.

well actually, if you wanted to see my car run.....waiting until sat was too late.

oil supply issue to the head led to a snapped cam while running it in - so I've gone from just making this round to missing it by a mile :D

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
