Well it looks like I've lunched my 1st hayabusa engine,,,the poor girl has no compression at all in any cylinders,,no broken cams and it looks like no bent valves. I'm a little confused at the moment.

What a pain in the arse,,,2 weeks out from my favourate track,,,, E/Creek.

Poo bum bloody piss bloody wee,,,oh I'm in a shit bad mood.

Think I'll take Roy for a walk and have a think about it.

Neil.

I looked into this earlier, but the wacky joining criteria made it prohibitive.

1. You must have blown up at LEAST 3 RB26s.

2. You must have burnt off your fingerprints (goes to the whole Raceworx black ops thing they have going on in the background. Racing is just a front.)

3. You must at all times have burns, bruises and cuts from welding, slamming doors on fingers and angle grinder "incidents".

4. You must wear king-gee shorts and prance around backyards pretending to work.

5. General dress requirements: Welders gloves and mu-mus.

:D

all true...but like all secret societies there are other criteria that must be met.

originally the criteria also intended rolling a car at a track, but we relaxed that when neil joined up.

Thanks Duncan,,,at least you made me laugh,,,. Roy's trying to chear me up as well,,,lots of sloopy kisses.

Ben original engine which admittedly has done tons of racing hours.

Andrew,,,funny you should ask that question,,,I have 2 somewhere with customs apparently,,,but we shouldn't go there at the moment for legal reasons.

Just throw some oil down on the local spot for riders and sit by the side of the road for a guy to drop it. If you need a motor i know a guy in Melb that runs a bike shop and is the guy who might be able to get you back on track.

But surely rebuild is the way to go with so much aftermarket support for the things?

Spewing Neil, that really sucks mate :P

Im sure through insurance companies like shannons, insure my ride, wqbe they would have total loss gsxr1300's...

If your not rebuilding, maybe check out auctions or something?

Trouble is I've already bought 2 engines,,,I'm waiting for them to arrive.

I can't see E/Creek happening now.

Funny I was about to buy some more horsepower. Some nice big cams/sprockets, a good head job/bigger valves, JE pistons and a fully sick clutch setup.

Now I've had time to look at my videos, I can see a lot of room for improvement - It felt good to get it out of 2nd gear for a change and you can see all the hillclimbs haven't been good for me in that area. But I guess the hillclimbs have been good for me in learning how to drive on cold tyres.

Anyway, here is one of my sessions from Sunday and as I said, I know there is still a lot of room for improvement.

It's all good Michele,,,we all have room for improvement.

Nice vid by the way,,,the pov's work great don't they.

I'm a little intrigued as to why you go out so quickly on your warm up lap,,,I would have thought with a car like yours,,,you would want to get heat into the brakes. Your at the fish hook and I'm still at the straight before the little left hander going up the hill. I noticed it as well at Oran park.

Andrew,,,I posted head job not cylinder porting on purpose just to see who would lay in the gutter,,,,Ha Ha you win buddy. :D:P:D I like Mr Banana.

Its hard to see in the video, but I was braking hard before most turns in the warm up lap, thats why I seem to corner so slow in the warm up lap, I get stuck into it, brake, into it, brake - but the video doesn't really show the hard braking as such. Once I can feel the tyres really working, then I feel more confident about my cornering speed. I can't afford to let the back end get away on me because that's where all the weight is, so have to be careful about my timing on pushing it into corners.

The POV camera is great, it even makes my car sound like a real car (my car sounded like a weird buzz with the other camera).

Do you think it's worth talking to Phil regarding an engine? He might know of something.

    • Stock ECU (or more accurately stock tune) absolutely refuses to go over 10psi and behaves like you have seen. The Nistune is the same if it is the stock tune. If the Nistune chip has been tuned, the resulting tune could be literally anything for any combination of parts. The Nistune just makes the stock ECU Tunable.
    • So stock ECU does not like anything above 10 psi?  That Nistune one is just for "try" if it will be any different, I know it need to be tune for that. I know but YOU may know about these problem but i/we dont. They few little Skylines here let alone people who know anything about tham so that is why iam asking here  
    • So now we have a radiator with no attachments whatsoever. It lifts up with a particularly tight spot between the drivers side air box mount and the lower radiator outlet, but if you've got this far you will sort that too. This is the lower mounts with the rad out so you can see where the rubber bushes go, it is a straight shot upwards Done! Assembly is the reverse of disassembly, with blood less likely to be shed.
    • Right, onto the second last trick. The Air Con condenser is mounted to the front of the radiator and stays in the car when the radiator is removed. There are 2x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the condenser to the radiator, remove those The bottom of the condenser is attached to the radiator with clips. You need to lift the condenser out of those clips and clear (up, then forward). f**ked if  could work out how to do that last bit with the front bumper on. I hope you can, and you share the trick.  Bumper removal probably deserves its own thread one day once I've recovered the will to live, but basically you need to remove the wheels, front inner guard liners (clips and 10mm headed bolts), the self tapper between the guard and the bumper at the rearmost point of the bumper (same as an R32 that bit), any remaining clips at the top/front of the grill, an absolute bastard design with a plate that holds the top of the bumper above the headlight each side (only 1 bolt which is tricky to get to, but the plate catches 2 places on the bumper and must be removed....carefully!) and push clips between the bumper and guard under the headlight. If you've done all that you will be faced with wiring for the fog lights on both sides and in ADM Q50 RS at least, 4 nasty tight plugs on the driver's side for the ADAS stuff. So, the clips at the bottom look like this on drivers side (looking from the front) And on the passenger side (also from the front), you can see this one is already out Clearance on both of these are super tight; the condenser needs to move up but the upper rad support mount prevents that, and the radiator can't move down far because it is (rubber) mounted. Once you achieve the impossible and drop the condenser off those mounts so it does not stop the rad moving, you are good to go
    • OK, next the shroud needs to come off and there are a couple of tricks. Firstly, there is a loom from near the passenger side headlight to the fans, coolant temp sensor etc and there is no plug to undo.  In my case I was OK to leave the shroud on top of the engine so I just undid the passenger side fan plug and about 10 of the clips which gave enough free wire to put it aside. The fan plugs were super tight, the trick I used was a small falt screwdriver to push down on the release tab, then a larger flat screwdriver to lever the plug out of the fan unit....be careful with how much force you apply! If you need to remove the shroud altogether for some reason you will have to deal with all the plugs (tight) and clips (brittle)....good luck. I removed all of the clips and replaced them with cable ties that I will just cut next time. Also, in the Red Sport / 400R at least, the intake heat exchanger reservoir hose is bolted to the shroud in 2 places with 10mm headed bolts; so remove them (the hose stays in the car; no need to undo it at the t fittings down at the radiator lower mount. Once you've dealt with the HX hose and the wiring loom, there are 3x 10mm headed self tappers holding the top of the shroud to the radiator; remove those.   The shroud then lifts out of the bottom mounts where it sits on the radiator, up and onto the engine out of the way.
