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

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

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)

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?

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)

    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
    • So, now all you need to do is connect the 2 or 3x 12v feeds into the unit to permanent 12v, ACC 12V and IGN 12V that you can find in the spot behind the stereo, and the earth, and then it will switch on with the car.
