Hi everyone

Just wondering if anyone has any advice on what I should check when I went to drive to work today I could hear this horrible knocking sound very similar to the knocking u sometimes hear when turning slowly if u have a 2way diff

Only faster and when I accelerate and slow down I'm worried I have seriously damaged my diff im going to check my gear box mounts tomorrow but I doubt its that

Any ideas?? Or suggestions as to what I should check would b much appreciated

Cheers

Need to fix ASAP June drift day is fast approaching

Thanks man I have fixed the problem now I got under it this Arvo to have a look and thought hmm maybe it's suspension as I looked I almost immediately noticed the passenger side rear wheel moved a lot more than it should so checked the wheel nuts and sure enough 3 wernt even finger tight, one was

Tight and one is gone lol I know I'm an idiot!! Hahaha but the knocking is gone :D and the wheel didn't come off while I was driving so I'm stoked thanks for the help though everyone

      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.
