It gets very dark down there :whistling:

Good luck to those running tonight, might be at the next one with luck :thumbsup:

wow your not wrong, it was pitch black and even on high beam it was a bit tricky. Still long track is so much better, so fast, 5th gear coming down the back straight, had a quick glance at the speedo was over 230kph :woot:

had Carl Ridler come for a few laps and give me some pointers, he was very helpful, and his advise made a lot of sense and when put into practice dropped a couple of seconds, he said my GTR had about same exceleration as a V8 supercar :banana:.

fastest long track and pb for me 65.2, and short track 56.0.... both quickest for the night :bunny:

was an excellant turn out with about 40 cars, can't wait for the next one, hope your ready for it Paul :thumbsup:

Carl Ridler is a good driver,belted my R33 for 3 laps and managed 1.10 on shit tyres and almost no brakes.I prefer short track (nice and bright) :rolleyes: Will definitely do next no limit night. Did anyone tried Hankook Z214? Going by the tread pattern it should grip nicely.

Heres some video ( shit footage because in the dark ) with some good pointers from Carl ( think I made a mess of the spelling of his name :blush: ) which could be useful to others, so thought I'd share, I knocked 2.5seconds off in the next run, after being out with Carl..

I'll let him do some laps in mine next time and see what it can really do :worship:

yeah short track is nicely lite but the long track flows much better and its only one corner in the dark, its a bit daunting for the first few laps but ok after that..

Awesome stuff. I wholeheartedly agree with letting the instructors, many of who are semi-professional drivers, take your car for a spin. Then you can see what it's truly capable of, and gives you something to aim for :thumbsup:

Tricstar, Those are some awesome times :thumbsup: Good tips from Karl :)

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By PranK · Posted

      They didn't. This is their comments; I'm not sure why they don't have the OEM specs.

      Did the oil analysis include the acceptable range for Lead? Last one i has said 1ppm is the limit and the engine I was testing had 74, 80 and 33 (was the race car, tested from brand new run in engine). It may not help to tell you the engine didn't last long, but they never did back then

      Elevated lead levels in oil - Engine on borrowed time?

      By PranK · Posted

      My engine has only an oil pressure switch from factory and I've installed an after market sensor that will alert me to pressure loss (https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/484431-my-bmw-335i/page/3/) . These engines can definitely feel long left/right handers which is why I added this sensor. There are no other symptoms at all. No strange noises (in fact after the turbos were replaced the mechanic made a note of how sweet the engine was running), no smoke, no glitter in the filter, nada. I'm just a stress head with car issues, I hate there being anything at all wrong with my cars, even if its basic. I just immediately get anxious and start thinking about catastrophic failure.

      Do you know where the EPS module will be located? And also the diagnostic connect located under the dash?

      Well, yeah, there is a (very thin) layer of soft lead on the surface of bearing shells to provide that first "cushion" against physical contact. Just because it is wearing off doesn't actually mean that the engine is dying. Of course, it can mean that the engine is dying. If the engine is making no noises and the oil pressure is (mostly, as in most of the time) fine, then it could just be suffering under particular conditions. That could be startup, or maybe at some point in the normal operation cycle - or maybe the Beemer engine suffers under long left hand bend (see, highway on ramp) and the pressure drops. You'd need to try to work out if any such thing is happening and then determine if you need a bigger oil pump, or an Accusump or something.
