Was not a good sight to see your car modified by the armco rail but at least you and your brother are o.k.Thought you might have kept the car and transplanted the good bits into something else hope to see you at another SAU event in something else as long as its a nissan ...

Mick,

Thanks and thought about transfering bits from the GTR into 32 sedan I've got sitting outside but decided to sell it.

At the moment, looking to obtain 33 GTST for second time (had one before the GTR).

Cheers

Grant

Best of luck for a speedy recovery Grant; it's never a good thing to have a car accident but gladly it happened in a controlled environment with help at arm's reach.

Thanks Jim.

Sorry to hear the news mate :)

Went through something similar myself at Phillip Island a couple of years back, and really good to hear that both of you got out of the car relatively unscathed. Sounds like everyone there did a stellar and professional job to look after yourself and your passenger.

At least you and your brother are ok Grant, thats the main thing.

Its always sad to see a GTR as nice as yours get banged up.

The good thing is is that theres always something bigger and better to look forward to in the future.

Hope to see you again at Decas with whatever it is that you decide to buy! Although I was thinking 26 into 4 door....would be fun!

Thanks, yes I'm gutted about the R considering I've wasted so much money and have some parts to go into it, will have to sell them...

Yes the organiser did a stellar job in looking after me and my brother.

Thanks, yep it does seem like I'm not aloud to own a GTR... I know what you're on about with looking for the replacment (love it too but lately, carsales haven't co-operated with me).

Shit so sorry to hear this... I remember just meeting you last deca and was admiring ur car... U even took my friend for a ride.... Well glad you and your brother are fine... Get Well Soon!! :D

Yes I remember you and your friend were admiring it and I took your friend for a ride last DECA.

Mat, thanks for the kind words, won't be doing 26 in 32 sedan cos I've already sold the wreck this morning and is trying to get a friend to buy the sedan.

And I'm kinda 'banned' from DECA by my parents... And is talking to them now.

Hamish, I'm unsure about these pics being posted on this thread but won't ask you to remove it.

Niroj, yes that's decent stack.

Glad to hear your okay, and sorry to hear about the GTR. In the end though a car is replaceable, life and quality of life isn't; however I'm sure that doesn't make you feel any better.

Hope things pick up soon.

Chantalle,

Thanks and I'm feeling lot better since I've sold the wreck and it's somewhere out of my sight. So I don't have to walk past it everyday.

And am sourcing a replacment but won't rush into it now, got other things to worry about.

Cheers

Grant

      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.
