Trying to split my time between MCITP study, Relearning guitar(function fingers, FUNCTION) and getting as much time outside in forest as possible for general wellbeing... not much whoring from me! Plus work/social commitments etc.

How are we all?

Did some pretty huge mods today, they took ages.

From this

If you are going to sell the car I wouldn't bother putting any of that stuff on as it won't increase the resale price much. Is it an auto or manual. S1 or S2?

If you are going to install all that stuff - you will only need one cam gear - best to keep the VCT on the inlet side (assuming you have an RB25DET and not an RB26DETT). I am not familiar with your turbo but without a new afm you will be limited to about 230 - 240 awkw. Are you sure GTR injectors will fit your engine?

Any way I will be interested to see how it goes!

How is, ryan?. Im completing a MCITP Enterprise Administrator certification atm. I got to brush up on my AD and group policy. Has been a total head fark compared to Server 2003. Its really hard to "unlearn" something and do it the Microsoft way. Ill see where this industry qual gets me, bloody cost me enough. At least its not the CNNP yet. Ive been working in the private sector with VOIP and VMWare as of late. Its been too long since i last picked up my strat, you've inspired me again man.

Yea i know that putting this stuff on the car is not going to boost the price a lot but i wanted this stuff done to it only reason the car is really on the market is to keep the missus happy and if someone comes up with a decent offer ill let it go. The turbo is the same as a kkr560 and from what i have been told the GTR injectors will fit in the car if not ill just sell them off and buy another set, also cheers for the heads up on the AFM will buy a Z32 one when i am home tomorrow due to f**king my shoulder up on site.

    • 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 
    • 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.
