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....

well first of all great to hear about the win Dunc!!! again seems like a good habit of yours

but shame about the motor , let me know if i can try help with bits ,

i will try and ring you tomorrow too

pm me your contact number please

Hey duncan and kel

Its kyle ere not fatz the alco

Good to hear that your wining some races

sorry to hear that you have smashed another motor.

What is happening with your engine's

If you need a hand you know how to get a hold of me.

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.

    • perhaps i should have mentioned, I plugged the unit in before i handed over to the electronics repair shop to see what damaged had been caused and the unit worked (ac controls, rear demister etc) bar the lights behind the lcd. i would assume that the diode was only to control lighting and didnt harm anything else i got the unit back from the electronics repair shop and all is well (to a point). The lights are back on and ac controls are working. im still paranoid as i beleive the repairer just put in any zener diode he could find and admitted asking chatgpt if its compatible   i do however have another issue... sometimes when i turn the ignition on, the climate control unit now goes through a diagnostics procedure which normally occurs when you disconnect and reconnect but this may be due to the below   to top everything off, and feel free to shoot me as im just about to do it myself anyway, while i was checking the newly repaired board by plugging in the climate control unit bare without the housing, i believe i may have shorted it on the headunit surround. Climate control unit still works but now the keyless entry doesnt work along with the dome light not turning on when you open the door. to add to this tricky situation, when you start the car and remove the key ( i have a turbo timer so car remains on) the keyless entry works. the dome light also works when you switch to the on position. fuses were checked and all ok ive deduced that the short somehow has messed with the smart entry control module as that is what controls the keyless entry and dome light on door opening   you guys wouldnt happen to have any experience with that topic lmao... im only laughing as its all i can do right now my self diagnosed adhd always gets me in a situation as i have no patience and want to get everything done in shortest amount of time as possible often ignoring crucial steps such as disconnecting battery when stuffing around with electronics or even placing a simple rag over the metallic headunit surround when placing a live pcb board on top of it   FML
    • Bit of a pity we don't have good images of the back/front of the PCB ~ that said, I found a YT vid of a teardown to replace dicky clock switches, and got enough of a glimpse to realize this PCB is the front-end to a connected to what I'll call PCBA, and as such this is all digital on this PCB..ergo, battery voltage probably doesn't make an appearance here ; that is, I'd expect them to do something on PCBA wrt power conditioning for the adjustment/display/switch PCB.... ....given what's transpired..ie; some permutation of 12vdc on a 5vdc with or without correct polarity...would explain why the zener said "no" and exploded. The transistor Q5 (M33) is likely to be a digital switching transistor...that is, package has builtin bias resistors to ensure it saturates as soon as base threshold voltage is reached (minimal rise/fall time)....and wrt the question 'what else could've fried?' ....well, I know there's an MCU on this board (display, I/O at a guess), and you hope they isolated it from this scenario...I got my crayons out, it looks a bit like this...   ...not a lot to see, or rather, everything you'd like to see disappears down a via to the other side...base drive for the transistor comes from somewhere else, what this transistor is switching is somewhere else...but the zener circuit is exclusive to all this ~ it's providing a set voltage (current limited by the 1K3 resistor R19)...and disappears somewhere else down the via I marked V out ; if the errant voltage 'jumped' the diode in the millisecond before it exploded, whatever that V out via feeds may have seen a spike... ....I'll just imagine that Q5 was switched off at the time, thus no damage should've been done....but whatever that zener feeds has to be checked...

    • I think Fitmit had some, have a look on there (theyre Australian as well)
    • Hah, fair enough! But if you learn with this one you can drive any other OEM manual. No modern luxury features like auto rev-matching or hillstart assist to give you a false sense of confidence. And a heavy car with not that much torque so it stalls easily.
