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

    • Hey everyone. Is there a way I can get the original window sticker (maroney label) for my 1995 R33 GTST? I doubt I’ll be able to ever get it but it’s worth a shot to ask
    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
