On paper you should be able to win quite easily, but in practice its a bit different it depends on how good of a driver you are, whether the Stato is an auto or not etc

Even a VZ SS does at best a 13.99 1/4 mile a GTS-T should be able to beat that quite easily.

really ?? thought the hsv enhanced stateo had a 185kw? stock

It does but just because it produces good numbers doesnt mean it can put that power down, only now are Holden able to put down most of the power in their current V8's. The suspension in the VS Stato while being very comfy gives you loads of wheel spin and the inability to put the power down. Also its a VS its at least 14 years old and unlike Skylines most Holden's that age arent maintained very well and it would be lucky to have 150kw left out of the 185kw it came out of the factory with. My VP V6 came out of the factory with 127kw 19 years ago it now has roughly 90kw left.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      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.
