The build started 2.5 years ago if he bought the car from Redline Motorsport or Sinergy he would of said 20+k for the car and not doing any of the labour on the afforementioned mods doesn't take long to spend another 25k in servicing and mods

I'm sorry to say I bought my red S1 R33 from Redline some 3.5 years for $17K :ermm::)

...but unlike the OP my car has cost me around 6 oil changes, a battery and a tune/service at Boostworx in that time as a daily. Doesn't make big power but it's never missed a beat :D Never once had an issue with police in that time either :D but since I read this forum (and god forbid NS) I am always paranoid that I will :laugh:

Yeah pretty much, it's technically a daily but it hasn't seen that many kms lately, I live pretty close to the city so I don't drive to work and don't drive when I go out (as I don't mind a beverage). My last to oil changes were after 3500 and 4200 kms, although a bit of this time was spent O/S.

so in 3.5 years of daily driving you roughly did 30,000kms what you only got the the corner deli and back

in my first year of owning my skyline i did 20,000km's must of done 4 services

Shit; in 4+ years of owing my 180 i have only done around 6000 km's.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!

      I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.

      Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.

      I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
