I have to update this for Steve, as Im just as excited as he is. Big props to Powertune and everyone else involved, but we were out testing yesterday (His our again today), and what an awesome shakedown. I wont post any times or details, ill let Steve do that, but here is a pic

So after the cage getting painted the engine and gearbox was dropped off for installation in March. Work up until this point was faultless. I was quoted 4 weeks until completion.

April....... Wife cancer

May........Kid sick

June...... Kid not his

July.... Separated from wife

August.... Bikies after him

September... Bikies poured sulphuric acid on his hair and my legs were broken

I genuinely felt sorry for the cnut. I have succumbed to the fact that he is mentally not there. Through my observations and from my opinion (medically based) he is a compulsive liar (only the seperation part is true) which makes it very hard to deal with. Just check out his trader thread. That has only unravelled the tip of the iceberg...believe me! . I'm not here to discredit his business even though he has cost me tens of thousands through missing parts, engine failure due to poor workmanship.

So lets move on to the awesome part ;)

I had to goto the workshop to hijack my own car with a few mates unannounced. As I have a car to prep for wtac ;p

VSPORT next stop... Brakes, suspension, dry sump sorted! Superb efforts there from Todd and Johnny

POWERTUNE to finish the car for testing.... Fcking awesome gig they run there! They do everything!!!

HALTECH - so generous with time and support and such a awesome product when understood

Justin from PROWIRE who wired the whole car up without fault on the first start!!! Drops panties bro lol

Anyway.... Shakedown was frigging awesome. Could not fault the car mechanically. Haltech setup my whole data logging trackside and once again there efforts are above and beyond.

I destroyed my front left canard yesterday collecting a witches hat under lock up but I'm still getting over the novelty of clutchless shifting :P

Boz doing what he does at TRACKSCHOOL tested the car............. Video to come .......

I can't believe it's this quick out of the box so early in its testing without any aero and on its run in tune.... And weighing in at 1420kg :P

Ur "mate" did the dash I think haha

That's right.... ur mate that sent away ur exact brakes lol

just alloy wrapped in carbon.

Shifter is a custom made extension by powertune on a pivot to give the exact same consistent throw to the holinger plus signal to the Motorsport systems strain gauge shifter. It also gives the driver a back and forward feel.... vs the easy dog leg option which gives inconsistent and weird angles of thow. All this because the seat position is at the passengers rear foot rest ;)

Mouth watering for sure!

Big novelty for me at the moment pulling that big knob...all I'm thinking of is getting to sixth and bleeping the throttle on downshifts on the peddle box. Until I'm comfortable with that ill start zoning in on my lap times :P

      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.
