Sara and I competed in a SuperSprint Round at Carnell last weekend. Sunday morning was -6Deg. I got up early, nature was calling. There was no running water in the loo, all the pipes had frozen! good pics though.

HAha, thats brings back memories, used to live up that way when i was a kid..I live in melbourne now but these people dont know what cold is, waking up with all our pipes frozen, ice hanging of everything and the dogs bucket of water frozen solid..Worse bit was cause the ice on the windscreen is so thick youd have to drive with the window open to see where your going, it was f**king freeeeeezin...

But once the sun comes up and melts it the air is sooo fresh..I miss that... :P

Well Chris, I can't spaek for the others but, I work all day at my normal job (teaching kids how to bash shit with hammers) and then i go home, to my shed and, work on other peopls shit till about 6 or 7, have some dindin's and, go back to the shed and, play with my shit till the boss gets home from work at about 11:30 at night. Thats when I usually pull the laptop out and chill for a while before bed.

Times, well. The boss, she was running in the low 38's with an un tuned 3s drift pig on street 595 shitters. Tough class for her, sportsedan over 3L.

I got into the 35's. 2nd in class and 3rd outright. Lost to true track cars.

1st, FC RX7 sportsedan 35.13,

2nd, 500 hp VK IPRA 35.68,

3rd, My R33GTST road reg, full weight inc spare wheel and jack, 36.72.

PB in my Yellow Race R33GTST 34.6

    • So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.
    • 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.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking
