Cheers, pretty stoked with how it turned out

Can't go wrong with vinyl when it comes to cost either; just under $400 was enough to get the whole car done.

Handled delaminated tyres, fuel, heat and more like a champ :D

Got all of the little dramas from Matsuri fixed up, so tomorrow morning I'm off to a morning session at QR :D

 

Crossmember rack mounts moved 25mm forward

Thanks to the trusty engine crane and seatbelts

BAM, and the bind is gone!

Also fixed a heap of little things, so pretty keen to get it out there again:banana:

Headed out to QR last night, unfortunately after an hour of track time the oil pump gave up (suspected) :down:

My brother was driving at the time, but gopro footage shows about 3-4 seconds at about 2000rpm before he realised what the alarm was and turned the engine off.

Towed back to the pits and (after confirming there was no leaks from hoses and the sump was full) cranked it without ignition which revealed a really fast ticking noise and no build in oil pressure, so I'm pretty confident the pump gears shit themselves for some reason. :ermm:

So...
The plan is to remove the oil pump with the engine in the car and see what exactly I'm dealing with. Hopefully the crank collar is ok.

Any (relatively) cheap dry sump setups for sale? :laugh:

Tear down BEGIN!

Rounding evident on the collar

Pump is rooted

I think I'll get some Perspex and hang this on my wall...

So I'll be removing the crank to fix up the collar (spline drive this time).
New bearings throughout and fixing anything else I might find along the way.

I get to give myself my own Christmas presents :laugh:

Ripped the engine and box out over the Christmas holidays, everything is looking pretty good considering the failure

Had to get the grinder out to cut the cam cap baffle plate nuts off, dam things just spun. Raw Brokerage is the only place I could find online that sell the bolts, anyone know a better place?



Clutch is struggling with 4th gear, but it will do until a new turbo setup comes along

Big ends are looking healthy :happy:

A bit of emery paper and the cams will come up a treat

WP_20161225_18_12_26_Rich.jpg

 

Crank will get a polish while it's getting the spline collar installed

WP_20161226_10_17_40_Rich.jpg

 

All the bearings, plastigauge, lube, Loctite, gaskets and fluids are either in the post or sitting in the shed... so as soon as everything arrives I can put her back together again. Hopefully around the start of Feb

 

While I was bored (after ripping everything apart), I started mounting up a front splitter. Curious to see how it will go :laugh:

Tomei do a stud and nut kit (pretty sure it's just rebranded ARP) that replaces all the bolts with studs. perfect run or RHD Japan 

Part numbers for washer that goes between the cam cap and bolt 01311-00711, bolt 13058-59S00, the washer on top of the baffle plate 08915-4361A, spring washer 08915-1361A and the nut 08911-20610. The place to get them would be Amayama or RHD Japan.

Could you do me a favor and measure the height of your flywheel?

Dropped off the crank and spline drive to the machinist shop yesterday

Unfortunately the crack testing revealed some pretty bad cracking around the No.6 big end and main.

Luckily a mate has a good condition crank (will get it crack tested to make sure), so fingers crossed everything goes smoothly with this one

 

Found a pic of one of the last laps before the pump gave out :laugh:15977738_1911247445774485_1615082053375432178_n.jpg

What oil pump was it? Stock RB30 or aftermarket ?

Aftermarket crank collar with a N1 pump and billet gears

dont use a splitter made of wood, seen it done, seen them catch fire.

I was planning on laying heat reflective tape over it for the first couple track days, to see how it goes before committing to something more substantial.
I'll be keeping a close eye on it, but if that isn't good enough I might just bite the bullet straight up.

How many meters of wrap did it take to do the car ??

5 rolls that were 1.5m x 3m each

that's alright 15ms of any wrap is pretty cheap now days :D

how did u do the roof, since there is no weather strip there ??

 

yours looks awesome as well

Yeah, well worth doing if you have the patience for it :happy:

I did the inside of the ridges in the below pic as one sheet, then I layed the whole side of the car from the A pillar back with one sheet; which slightly overlapped the wrap on the centre of the roof.

Thanks, a YouTube tutorial was my only previous experience :laugh:

Faintly visible cracking in the pic. It looked pretty impressive with the dye penetrant glowing under the UV light

Good news for the other crank though, just waiting on the collar to be fitted :D

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
