Hey guys....

Happy Festive seasons !!

im having to drive around some niggling problems at the moment...RPM is capped at 7,000rpm as there is a apparent ignition breakdown that needs to be addressed above this point and its also half throttle out of horseshoe, last turn and gears 5 and 6 to prevent breakdown.

Looking at upgrading to some LS1 coils :)

i have noticed that keeping it in the lower gear means the car enters the corner alot more eagerly vs the higher gear which settles the car and gives me a chance to process whats happening :P

i will definately pencil down these pointers but figured i need to put together 11 turns and a clean lap before i start to push

harder at certain points :cheers:

GOAL is for car to break 1:02s by August 2012 - all input greatly appreciated!!!!

Plan is to increase revs to 8000rpm, increase stroke :) ,increase boost (currently low boost), reduce some more weight and sort out the suspension further!!

I have to ask.. the fitting that goes in your oil filler hole.. what is the point of that?

It cant be a catch can return cause oil doesnt flow up, and even if it was why would u return trapped oil in the head back to the head. dont mean anything rude or offensive it just has been baffling the crap outta me for weeks

It was something i saw on a fellow members car (Stuart's R33GTR) and his rationale made sense.

Apparently all his breathing issues resolved itself when the oil cap was tapped and turned into another 'breather' point.

Idea is under G-forces, oil is pushed to back of motor. Having a hole at the front, helps the breathing for the motor and

prevents oil getting pushed out from the back

hope this makes sense :thumbsup:

    • Bummer...yeah i "need" something to "ease" up the work and for my driving it would be enough.    Iam counting the tune "without" turbo. I do not mean "cheap" like something from Temu around 200 USD, "Cheap" is something around 1000 USD? 
    • Starter motors used to use the weight of metal (magnets) to provide torque. Now they use (more) current instead. This. It's completely normal.
    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
