Cage is all painted, might need a bit of a tidy up before WTAC so it looks pretty. Dash is back in, with the cluster. Cleaned up a bit of ugly stereo, turbo timer, alarm system wiring while I was at

I'm interested because my box seems to be pissing oil out of it but it has a new extension housing seal and only seems to weep from there (Silvia boxes seem to always leak from the extension housing).

I thought maybe I'd over filled it.

I assume it's coming out from underneath the boot around the shifter, the rubber one, not the interior one, and running down the box.

My Diff is fine though and is sealed, I don't recall my 33 having any way to leak from the diff?

Both have a breather port.

Standard Nissan:

The diff has a hose that runs up into the chassis rail near the rear right wheel.

The gearbox has a hose that runs to a hard line high up near the bell housing.

Both just vent out to atmosphere.

I get the same from my Silvia, although mostly used on dirt the g forces aren't as bad so its not so much of a problem. From what i was told its to do with the box not having enough baffling internally and a lot of the oil rushes to the back of the box and ends up being pushed out the shifter.

Really enjoyed reading this thread too, awesome work and impressive times.

Hey mate, will you be driving at NSW Time Attack?

Yep, sure will be.

Just waiting for the entries to open now.

I'm working on a new rear wing setup at the moment, not sure that it will make much difference at Wakefield though, all that is for Eastern Creek later in the year anyway. I have a theory that the 265 AD08R might work better than the 285 AD08R around Winton and Wakefield though.

So before we trek to Wakefield I'll do a Friday test day at Winton to get an idea of the impact of the new rear wing setup and gauge if there is a performance different between 265 and 285 AD08R at Winton that data should translate well to Wakefield. I have a 7kg spring to try in the rear for Winton/Wakefield, currently running a 10kg which works well at Phillip Island/Eastern Creek.

I have spoken to Forced Motorworx about my gearbox woes. It's a pretty cost effective fix to replace the synchro clips, so I'll get the box out over the next couple of weeks and get it down to Forced. Much cheaper than destroying another selector and ko'ing another gearbox, should have done this last year.

I'd like to change up the front splitter for something more sophisticated than the ply I'm currently running as well. But I haven't come up with a better design to get air to the oil cooler without altering the front bar design.

Awesome. Myself and a mate will be competing as well in clubsprint - though much slower then you lol, we are doing it for the experience more so. We will be in a silver 33 and 34.

Sweet! More RB's the better :)

I think both the Power Tune GTR's will be there in Open Class as well. Will be a great weekend for Skylines.

I'll be watching your splitter progress, I'm thinking about V2 myself.

How high does your current design sit off the ground and how are you going loading it onto trailers?

The current design is removable, so we take it on and off each time.

I want to keep it that way as well, just makes it so much easier.

On the k-frame we have bolted some 25mm tube, on the splitter there is 20mm bar that slots in.

There is some 20mm tube at the front of the spliter and on the sides.

It's quite low to the ground, unsure of height.

I'm talking Tony with Little Red into coming as well. So there will be a couple of Vic 33's invading.

I might have to redesign mine.

Yours must be lower if it clears the swaybar also.

I had issues with mine attaching to the cross member after upgrading to the bigger swaybar. Bar pushed the splitter down and bent brackets (stayed attached though).

Yeh it's below that. It's as high as I can get it using the k-frame mounting method.

I have a tilt trailer, but would need a fancy hydrolic thing if any kind of splitter was to be fixed mounted.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      Even more fun, leave all the ADAS stuff plugged in, but in different locations, hopefully avoid any codes!   And honestly, all these new cars with their weird electronics. Pull all the electronics out Duncan, and just shove an aftermarket ECU and if needed a trans controller in, along with a PDM. Make it run basic but race car styled!

      To follow up a question from earlier too since I had the front bar off again (fking!) This is what is between the bumper and the drivers side wheel And this is the navigator side, only one thing but its a biggy! So basically....no putting coolers in the wheel arches without a lot of moving other stuff. Assuming I move to properly race prepping this car I'll take that job on and see how the computers respond to removing a whole bunch of ADAS modules

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So I prepped the car for another track day on Wednesday (will be interesting to see coolant temps post flushing out and the larger reservoir, with a forecast of 3-14 being 20o cooler than last time I took it out). Couple of things to mention; since I am just driving the car and not taking a support vehicle, I took the rear seats out and just loaded the back up Team Trackday style. Look at all that space! To cover off removing the rear seat....it is weird (note the hybrid is probably different because it wouldn't have folding rear seats) Basically, you remove the lower seat base, very similar to a r series but it is a clip that pulls forward to release the base rather than it being bolted down. Easy Then, you need to remove the side section of the rear seat on each side. There is a 14mm head nut at the bottom of the side piece, the it slides upwards off a hook at the top to release; you also need to unhook the seatbelt from the loop at the top. Then the centre piece is weird. You need to release/fold the seats forward with the tab in the boot on each side From there, there are 2,x12mm headed bolts holding the rear of each seat to the folding bracket, under the trim between the rear seat and the boot (4x christmas tree clips there, they suck). The seat is out but you can see where the bolts attach to the bracket

      As discussed in the previous post, the bushes in the 110 needed replacing. I took this opportunity to replace the castor bushes, the front lower control arm, lower the car and get the alignment dialled in with new tyres. I took it down to Alignment Motorsports on the GC to get this work done and also get more out of the Shockworks as I felt like I wasn't getting the full use out of them.  To cut a very long story short, it ended up being the case the passenger side castor arm wouldn't accept the brand new bush as the sleeve had worn badly enough to the point you could push the new bush in by hand and completely through. Trying a pair of TRD bushes didn't fix the issue either (I had originally gone with Hardrace bushes). We needed to urgently source another castor arm, and thankfully this was sourced and the guys at the shop worked on my car until 7pm on a Saturday to get everything done. The car rides a lot nicer now with the suspension dialled in properly. Lowered the car a little as well to suit the lower profile front tyres, and just bring the car down generally. Eternally thankful for the guys down at the shop to get the car sorted, we both pulled big favours from our contacts to get it done on the Saturday.  Also plugged in the new Stedi foglights into the S15, and even from a quick test in the garage I'm keen to see how they look out on the road. I had some concerns about the length of the LED body and whether it'd fit in the foglight housing but it's fine.  I've got a small window coming up next month where I'll likely get a little paint work done on the 110 to remove the rear wing, add a boot wing and roof wing, get the side skirt fixed up and colour match the little panel on the tail lights so that I can install some badges that I've kept in storage. I'm also tempted to put in a new pair of headlights on the 110.  Until then, here's some more pictures from Easter this year.

      I would put a fuel pressure gauge between the filter and the fuel rail, see if it's maintaining good fuel pressure at idle going up to the point when it stalls. Do you see any strange behavior in commanded fuel leading up to the point when it stalls? You might have to start going through the service manual and doing a long list of sensor tests if it's not the fuel system for whatever reason.
