This bloke did a 2:29 at the sprints, V8 engined Datsun 280ZX. Must be the cage or something :ermm:

Top speeds, 259 and 230kph, Conrod and Mountain Straights respectively.

Those speeds are good! I was 255/218 in my bus.

Drunken - I think we are going to be team mates at 6hr next year. CXC are going to run my car for me instead of MPC - so I'll bring the squad up to 4 cars. Locked it in with Dylan this morning. 

Not doing it with Rod next year though - he's building an A45. I have a mate Karl joining me instead who can steer ok. 135 days to go!

The top takes some learning. I definitely learnt more again last week from my previous visit. 

Yeah your new bus looks so smooth over the top, something that will never happen in an R31.

 

Pity you can fit big tires on a 34 GT-T without cutting out the guards

My bathurst was a challenge alright. 

Saturday 

1st lap broke diff. Drove to syd to get new one from SSS and had the replacement back in car by 9pm.

Sunday

1st session black flagged for a 2.33 lap. 

2nd session black flagged for the same. 

3rd session stopped on top of mountain with failed crank angle sensor.

im going in the supersprint next year with a spare diff. 

 I estimate my car has a mid 2.20's in it. 

 

Anyone know where I can buy a new 3.6 or 3.5 crown and pinion for a r200 diff?

 

Why the huge differences in times between various rear drivers? Where particularly can significant amounts of time be won or lost? So many questions, so little talent lol.

Starting to think that a game level driving simulator would be a big help. Which one?

    • No no, sorry I think I made you misunderstand. I have this Tee as well as the lines that go from there. What I am missing is the banjo bolt that connects this line (OEM turbo oil supply line) To this hole, this line is mounted on the turbo and reaches around it so you have easy access the oil and water supply being rerouted to this dual banjo port in the front. like this
    • Nothing at the moment as previously there was a crappy braided line going from engine block directly to the turbo. I have bought a used OEM hardline for the turbo oil supply, which goes from the engine block to the marked hole. I don't have any of the OEM banjo bolts for oil except the one at the block.
    • This is the tee No specs on the page I grabbed it from, out of stock there anyway. But it kinda looks like a 1mm pitch. Would not think it's going to be 0.75mm pitch.
    • OK, I'm with you now. The outlet of the tee that is banjo'd into the block. Dunno what it is, will have a scratch around. The M11 question is.....messy. The minor diameter of an M11x1.0 male thread is 9.917mm. This is smaller than the minor diameter of a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 10.08mm). The M11 major is 11mm. That's smaller than the major on a 7/16"-24 UNS (which is 0.4375" or 11.1mm) so an M11x1 bolt should pass on the major side. The pitch of a -24 thread is 1.058mm, which is really close to the M11x1, so it should go in at least several turns. I would expect M11x1 to be loose in a 7/16"-24 UNS, at least until enough thread are engaged to make it stop screwing in, if that can happen. Probably wouldn't happen on such a short bolt as you're looking at on the oil tee. Keep in mind that 7/16"-24 is NOT a standard/typical 7/16" thread. Standard is 20. That's the UNF or fine thread. -24 is really fine. I imagine that Garrett chose -24 for the turbo housing oil inlet to get the number of threads engaged up. I would not expect Nissan to have an imperial (UNF, etc) thread on that tee. I would expect it to be metric (if it is a bolt thread) or BSP (actually the Japanese equivalent of BSP) if it is a pipe thread. Given that it's a banjo, it's going to be a bolt thread. If it looks like an 11mm will go in there, then 11mm seems likely. It is very possible that some clown has stuffed that thread by trying to jam some imperial "near equivalent" into it, perhaps with those hoses of yours. Got verniers? Measure up the threads on the hoses.
