Fatz Gtr Reliability Testing

[fatz]

Haltek plug in pro

[fatz]

I know know why call r33 gtrs whales

Just got the weigh bridge ticket for rego

1600kg with a half a tank

My old race 32 with a full cage and dry sump setup was 1400 kegs with a full tank

S it 1800 kegs with me in it and a full tank

[fatz]

Make that 1760 with a full tank and me in it

[Piggaz]

That's heavier than mine!

You still have the spare tyre in it?

[fatz]

Yea it actually had a box in the boot with stuff in it two

What a huge bitch

[fatz]

So in preparation for the 6 hour this weekend I bought a go car to test my skills

Check it bitches

So then after realising how awesome I am I installed the harnes bar and shit

Took a photo of the dyno graph to impress the ladies

[MBS206]

So expect photos of a white GTR on its roof at 6 hour I see?

[benm]

perfect for parking up at springwood shops

[fatz]

Yup going to drag race the old cobber across the road.

If he wins ill push him down some stairs

[fatz]

well like all good things

its all about preparation

in the end i only put the harness bar and a harness in for teh 6 hour

lol

might have to take friday off to actually do something on the car

[fatz]

so this POS now has a oil cooler supplied by old mate mark ( god12a) on here

i also shlaped the quick release steering wheel on it

so now i have a wheel and jenna has a wheel to drive it ( i like a dishy one she likes a flat one)

blead the brakes applied stickers for awesome

jenna washed it and shit as well

[fatz]

Ready to party

Nice and hidden oil cooler

[zebra]

I dissapear for a bit and now fatz is f**king moby dick, and talking about making shit reliable.

The times, they are a changing

Least Neil still looks like he should be on the grid of the 1976 James Hardie 1000

[fatz]

well wakefield six hour done

car ran well, usual story of filling the catch can over 6k rpm so that was the rev limit for the day

oil cooler worked a treat with oil temps only getting to 105 degrees

rsr rubber is mega shit

was putting around in the 10.5 range and braking very early, changed the pads and bled the brakes and straight down to 1.09 flat and the was at high 1.08 on sunday

quite happy with that id like a low 1.08 before i put decent rubber on

too 200 litres of e85 down and really probably needed 50 more for the day ( did about 100 laps over the two days)

team fat skylines came third last but we all had a ball

pics time

the whale

piss bins car

Goulburn tradition

what a crack team

pissed down at the start

[fatz]

one thing i discovered on the weekend is that you should not mix wild the sphincter of the universe/ coke and hot and spicy kfc

mother of god the!

[fatz]

Picks from the weekend

4th track day in 3 months

And the reason why they make you have two bonnet restraints... Whoops this caused a extra pit stop

[fatz]

welllllll!

so i did a cold compression test last night

150,150,150,140,128,150

i will do a hot compression test as well over the weekend

looks like i may have found my excessive blow bye issue

turns out that a 16 year old engine doesnt like thrashing over the last 4 track days

so what am i to do? ( epic 4 year build thread like most people here?, normal skyline owners would put it up for sale and not mention it to the poor new owner)

me ill add a extra catch can and some mines baffels and take her back to the track

i must say i was hoping this thread would go for years prior to unwrapping teh backup motor, but it look like that will be happening sooner, mind you ill back the revs off and boost off and it could go for a another year( touch wood)

Go hard or go home!

Inspired by your research the other day I ended up getting one of these... http://turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pumps/page1/page1.html

I'll let you know how it goes, going to run it from my catch can around the back of the block and into rear turbo drain. Switch it on about 5000rpm or so. I'll let you know how it goes

Wonder why you have fooked the motor? Were you always running E85 or were you using 98RON?

[fatz]

98 for three track day( running average)

E85 for the last one (running very well)

Will be interesting at the next track day to see if the catch can mods work.

I think the only way to keep this pos running well would be to run the oil scavenge as well as the upgraded catch can setup( at its current compression situation)
