Such a shit run lately hope it turns around soon so you can get back out on the road

Yeah thanks mate.... Stainless tube arrives tomorrow BUT in speaking of my luck, TNT had lost my damn rear main and boot etc so it'll now be a few days late :/ will get it in the weekend though no matter what it takes!

that cat looks nice, you gonna polish it when you do ya oil changes lol :P

you sure made alot of power with a 3inch system ..

Funny you say that, was considering heat coat black :P

Yeah I think Ash posted somewhere he made in the 370's with a 3inch and Kurtis was close too... Will see how the cat goes and then look at the rear muffler later.... Trying too keep it quiet....

Don't worry

That cat will change colour soon enough as soon as its heat cycled a few times

Shit news about TNT

All good, The parcel should be here soon!! 3" pipe arrived too so gotta go get the cat flanged up!!

More positive news - SAU NATS entry confirmed

come on man 6 weeks to go..

my car is parked nice and safe ready to rock and roll.. its odd when a car is ready so far out from an event, i almost want to pull things apart to double check haha

Will give it a good skid on sunday but not blow another head gasket

Quick update, pulled the front cover off the gearbox after cleaning it all the other day so i could replace the Input shaft seal, i was NOT impressed when i found this -

The picture doesn't show how bad it actually is, i run an ordinary ruler over it and you could clearly see how much material has been worn off it... It looks like the surface has either picked up sand and dirt due to the torn clutch boot which i am replacing OR material off the clutch, there was all sorts of crap in the housing but mostly melted brass etc which would have happened at the time of welding so i DOUBT it would have been in there for a long time... This just adds to the list of disappointment from the car BUT i will get it all sorted!

Amayama are searching for one for me now, hoping for an email this arvo!

    • 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.
