lol yeah the boat doesnt often come off that hoist eh? my car was there for 3 days and still tim cracked me up after giving me the bill by telling me the thing I had booked it in for hadn't been done....apparently they thought fixing the gasket leak was more important than ricing it up....pfft.

Hey Duncan,I'm thinking about becoming a paid up member of the club for amongst other benefits being able to go to race tracks on track days and give my GTR 33 a run,just wondering if you can tell me what's required of me before I can race on the track or even do solo laps to avoid hitting or being hit,as I don't want to damage my baby just want to have some fun legally??Cheers Grey Pearl.

Hey Rob, looks like you are based in Ballarat, best bet would be to contact the SAU Vic club, I'm based in NSW. I'm sure they will have beginners track days like the one we are running in 2 weeks.

shagged indead lap dance girl

shush Pete- only you get lap dances for wins :down:

after a mixed day 2, i'm just a little too pissed to post proper, so lazy Kel says what happened today is here....

Cheer's

haha glad to hear you finally got pete off your pc kyle....I'd hate people to get the wrong impression about you too :thumbsup:

good question about the motors really.....so far I've never had the same problem twice, but I've had plenty of problems...

fuel pump died (bad earth) pinged to death

crack in an oil gallery in block

radiator came off mounts and lost coolant, cooked block and head

engine builder's mistake (crack in oil pick up)

spun bearing on the original unmodified motor (can't really complain about that)

etc etc, couple of others I can't remember

we always seem to come up with an interesting and new way to kill them.

the thing is...honestly....everyone competing seriously with these motors kills heaps of them.....we just own up to it :P

this one looks pretty minor, mostly because I know what a fcuked motor feels like by now and I backed off early. Probably caused by oil pump dying, will know in the next day or 2.....big end 5 and 6 are damaged but not spun so shouldn't be too bad.

Russ.....stop offering to help other people and get your boat ready for targa! but just incase you do have a motor that needs a good home I've sent you a pm :D

Sounds like the 26's are very over rated engine and you should invest in the rb30 or a rb20 , bullet proof engine they are .

Fatz is just self explainatery

Luckily i have 2 pc so fatz can look at porn while i can do whati need to.

lol I think he's sleeping with you. I know he's hard up but you could do better kyle.

not really sure that surge is the problem, I run the trust sump (about 8l) and run it overfull but I never got the bloody data logger running so I won't know until next time:(

btw I have gone back to the future and chucked an rb30 in the tow car, should make the old stagea pull a bit better. that one should be back next week hopefully.

yeah .. true

before we dry sumped, we were upto 13 engines... and we were so close to giving it away

we have only built two engines in the last two years now , the one in the r32 is still the same donk we fitted before Tsukuba ( it's almost two years old now) and the one in the r34 hopefully it can

become two years old too..lol

but yeah dunc, it's a bloddy pain in the ass when it's different things, how were the oil temps?

also i reckon if you can run an accusump , bloody good idea, rules permitting ( if its cracked oil pump one word, REIMAX)

Same Id never go back to a regular oil system. Since dry sumping ive had one engine problem which was tune related and never had a bearing failure since.

Im not sure Duncan is aloud to run accusumps, surely they'd bend the rules with pity though!

lol no dry sumps, no acusumps. pump gears might be a different story as long as noones reading this thread :thumbsup:

we've got an accusump for the nugget until it goes dry sump, looks like that is the only way to keep a serious race car together reliably

When you are all truly, completely and utterly pissed tonight grab a happy snap....i mean your profile needs a good pic

Sorry to hear Duncan and you cop it on the chin well though. You are finding and overcoming lots of problems and running out of bad luck and sorting issues so light at the end of the tunnel.

Hmmmm get a VG once sorted no probs, just no front diff.

Sam Markov runs a Acusump in his R32 GTR with over 400wkw and no probs. Has some smarts in it though.

    • Just don't use ChatGPT or any other artificial stupidity for the equivalent of googling. Their demonstrated inability to discriminate reality from hallucination should be enough to make them totally untrusted. LLMs don't know anything and cannot think to even the smallest extent. They are just predictors of the next word, and that should never be confused with capability.
    • I think, given the usage model described in the OP, I'd never ever experience the wonders of the 400kW upgrade. What I really need is boost from 2000rpm and probably no more than 260-270rwkW. But I suspect that the highflow is not actually the turbo for that purpose, so I may in fact need to get a G25 or 30 or something right sized and very spooly. We shall see after it is tuned. I've had to back the boost and boost ramp off to stop the thing from pinging since the highflow went on, so I've been almost living the NA life for 9 months now! Injectors are recently in hand. AFM is in hand. Dyno is fixed. Just need to clear a queue of f**king Supras out of the way (and probably fit my new gearbox). So....some time this year? Lol.
    • For what I gather is a Sunday/summer car....braided is fine. You're not going to be left without a vehicle and you have plenty of time for inspection/maintenance. Oof. I wouldn't use them that way. They can probably handle the temperature** but the internal corrugations means that their flow characteristics are a bit shit. Lots of extra friction and pressure loss. Makes them flow like the next pipe size down. ** They are stainless, and the stainless can usually be at least something like 304L, which is pretty good at higher temperatures (unlike 316L, which I would use for a wrt/corrosive environment, but not a particularly hot environment). But the welding needs to be top notch. And even then, because you usually need at least one cone-seat end on them (because you can twist the hose and do up both ends at the same time unless one of them is a union) they can be prone to coming loose with heat cycles.
    • I don't have the OEM oil feed lines though and the turbo-wraparound line is torn, only has water. My plan is to get replacements for these and just connect a braided line to there. And make sure it's leak free. Hoses like these are also sometimes used to connect external wastegates, so for an EGR I think you're good using them.
    • Alright I understand. The most likely case is probably gonna be that I just keep the OEM unit in the car as long as it works.
