Going Wakefield 14th September, you come. We'll see who shreds a gearbox 1st.

Eh, I'm all about roll racing now ....

a lot easier on the car than drag/circuit, don't have the money or willingness to break things like you do lol

 

 

My car is full of cheap non-NASA spec parts, hence can afford to push it right up to the limits and over too.

I'm sure I'm over speeding that Garrett non-NASA spec turbo, oh wells ?

Got behind the wheel of the Don Mega S15 at Roll Racing

Scooted down the track for 5 passes then had to head off to work

Still getting a feel for the car as it's spinning tyres and I'm sliding around...

I definitely got the soundtrack right on this puppy!!!!

Must have got the danger to gearbox warning light.

What I find hilarious is that, everyones prediction was I'd blow the box....and funnily enough, the box is still absolutely great.  

I think my cognisance relating to mechanical sympathy does play a part in the fact NOTHING on my cars goes wrong.

Meanwhile, everyone else is blowing 6 speeds and throwing rocker arms, I'm calling it that more "they don't know how to drive".

Good to see you got out there. 

Mechanical sympathy and not shocking the gearbox will definitely help longevity. If torque/ignition curve isn't too aggressive that will help.

Apart from killing a Nismo twin plate in bumper to bumper traffic with stock turbos?

Clutch slip will protect a gear box so history checks out!

    • Omg Brake pedal removal.. FML!!
    • I mean, I can confirm the TPS is at 100%.... I can confirm when we installed the TB and setup the cable that the TB was indeed fully open at max pedal travel.. the same 'curve' (WRT MAP vs MAP) existed with the previous setup/TB/manifold as well... No, we did not do a run with no intake connected. I would love to go back in time to do such a run to rule out the intake. It would have also been good to do a run with the airbox lid off. There's a test there where increased IAT vs more available air could be a positive tradeoff. I remember taking the lid off my R34 Turbo setup back in the day and noticing a monster increase, even if IAT's did go up. Could be similar. Hard to test unless I find a very deserted road. 
    • That's actually encouraging to be honest. my motor was rebuild many years ago but it's probably done less than 30,000kms and fucc all limiter or drift, majority street / drag / roll racing. It'll be fine 💪🏼 I don't even have lines or a can for the cam breathers installed yet, there is zero oil residue or splatter on or around them, it drives beautifully so it seems healthy. Just a ticky lifter, yet they're almost brand new oem genuine Nissan and haven't done many kms at all...
    • Have you confirmed the throttle body goes to WOT (and stays there) during the run?
    • I'm having a problem. I think it was mentioned above somewhere but can't see it.  I'm stuck in the cycle of, sand, filler, low spot again, put filler, sand, low spot again, now i put filler again and a thicker portion which seems to have helped but I got low spots in other areas. In the image. Circled in red thats where the original low spot was and the shape is the same as the red out line. I've more or less fixed that (still low spot up the top but now I have low spots where the green circled part is.  Is likely the issue that I didn't start with a course sand paper? I sanded the filler with 240 to reduce the risk of not going to far but maybe the issue is that I'm only taking off enough material to remove some of the filler but not the high spots. I now started sanding with 120 and I think I'm seeing a difference. I did fix one dent the other 2 are f**ked and seems like I made another low spot which is indicated by the furthest green circle on the left handside. Any thoughts and solutions?   Also second image. All of these rock chips, can they be filled in with primer or do i need to fill them all with filler/putty? So many rock chips on mine lol.
