haha, thats a pretty good way to put it. Saturday is way to late.

Didn't have a problem supplying oil to the head, its just where it was not going once it was in the head that was the problem...

Sam rekons shit from the previous engine has blocked the gallery to the front journal of the exhaust cam. The head was obviously cleaned but blocked cam gallerys are not really something thats usually a problem.

Luck it didn't get to far gone and the thing can be repaired.

Jay's wrapped cause he gets to pull it back out now. Im liking this whole being sick and not aloud to do anything thing at the moment. Watching you lot put it in the first time was funny let alone again.

Im going back to work tommorrow, im so tired of sitting around home!

There's only so many steven Segal movies I can handle...

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

Looks like the Dinosaurs are one put on you Mister D

Maybe try a 20 lt sump next time around LOL.

Its still broke Chris.

The head is repairable but we're half way through building another new head for it. Don't know exactly where the problem is with the old one yet so not taking any chances.

New one just needs stem seals, valves and springs them clearances adjusted.

Looking like we may pull the bottom end back out and double check there is nothing in the main gallery that could have blocked the head supply even temporarily.

Once we got the head off the bottom end was cranked over to make certain it had good oil supply to the gallery. There was a massive mess as oil streamed out the restrictor. So far it seems there was something wrong either with the gallery to the front cam cap or the bucket bleeding off oil to the front gallery. Either way its really annoying as the head was litterally removed cleaned down and bolted back into place.

hey there are still 4 weeks to next round, it will be back then for sure.

lol famous last words...

I've sort of been sooking since I missed this round as well. We did get that motor back together but a related problem saw the new one die pretty much straight away. At least we know the cause now :P

In any case, the motor is back together and sealed so my next race will be the day/night meet (last one??) at Oran Park 1 August. Next state round is not until mid September at Wakie.

There was a round on this weekend, and aren't the taxis going quick these days. Gus' new monaro did 1.46.5 in qualifying...bloody quick for a stock 2 door taxi. Jim ended up winning the round in his dinosaur. Best modern car was Gerry's evo 7 in 6th.

As for the other categories....the BSM GTR was not out again, and as usual the sports sedan field was rubbish, 9 finishers in the last race. improved prod is struggling for entrants too with only 24 finishers between 2 fields (over and under 2l). And very sadly the over 2l improved prod quickest car was slower than the production cars quickest. Its basically a crap time for quanitity and quality of entrants in racing.

Hey Dunk, is it true that the Commondoors don't have to run the class control tyre (Kumhoo) while everyone else does?

Cheers

lol I'm sure everyone follows the rules.

unfortunately the rules have been changed until the end of the year, no more control tyres.

all this means is that instead of everyone running on same kumhos (1300 a set to me) we all run the best tyre (dunlop dz03) at 2600 a set :blink:

After ALOT of screwing around and what ive now called Duncan luck he has just taken the car and its even driven 300odd Km's!!

We've now got a really nice sump which has a slight leak but fixable, a nitto oil pump and external pick up and a heap of other little oil mods which should keep the bearings going roundy round

Bring on the next engine failure Duncan im sure there will be something else interesting next time around.

We do also have a spare now though which is almost completed.

Day nighter in a fortnight and so far its looking like duncan WILL be there.

sweet let me know how it goes.

Im sure there is a few little things that will need to be tidied up underneath the car, like the box breathers and silly shit like that.

Bring on the day nighter!!

Oh and dont forget the oil filter!

Sam is anal about cutting it open to check after the first few changes.

Bring two spares to the track as well

      There are black hose clamps as well if you care. Plazmaman for example sells some: https://plazmaman.com/product/black-hose-clamps-premium-quality-stainless-breeze/

      After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive

      R34 25GT Engine Light 21

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.

      I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
