What a day, been moving shit to the in-laws, cleaning the house, mowed lawn, planted a bunch of flowers. Then sorted out shit box for tomorrow, bleed brakes, installed new Intima pads (test compound), loaded up car with shit and ready!

Rotors look a bit cooked, I managed to crumble the Intima Type-D v2.0.

Dose knows I'm good for the $$

I've had to pay him for his services before.... ?

Rotors do look average.

Motor seized heading back to Sydney. Had full oil pressure, no over heating.

Was tapping a bit on the way home but just thought maybe lifters.

Car did hit the engine protection a few times on the track though for low oil pressure around big bends.

Now waiting for my mate to come back with a trailer on the side of the Hume Highway.

Yay?

Cheers @Duncan!

Luckily just at the on ramp to Sydney out of Sutton Forest Maccas, safe-ish spot.

Same tyres lol.. 

My mate did a 1m10s in it, I managed only 1m12s

well, you can't change the laws of physics; a borrowed car is always quicker than one you own.

at least it is a short walk to heatherbraes (or Maccas if that is your thing)

I did crack 196 km/h down the main straight but bitches out just as the barrier stopped.

Could have possibly gone 200 km/h+

Is what it is lol..

Maybe the few times the Haltech went into engine protection was a sign I should not full send it around bends on noise.

Do you have logs of the sessions where the engine protection kicked in?

I'll download them sometime during the week and we'll find out.

That sucks, dry stumped billet rb30det with Samson time? 

Hopefully damage isn't to bad and just needs machine work and bearings. 

Haha I'm over it man, maybe new car time ?

    • Have a vb in honour of the car comming back
    • It was a great, but typical track day, and some VB was ingested at the night time debrief 🤪
    • And so, to round this out, I couldn't be happier to confirm @MBS206 has decided to buy the car. He drove down from sunny QLD with a trailer last week and it is off to its new home today. I'll let Matt confirm on next steps but I understand broadly that the plan is to leave it pretty much as is, and just get some quality wheel time with a nicely balanced car that is pretty much track ready. There are a few a jobs still to be done first but nothing too major and I think its a very smart buy Dinner last night at the Paragon with a round of VBs (mostly) for Neil
    • Well, 50 pages and the end of a chapter for this car. We took it out for a shakedown at Wakie yesterday, and everything went well. There were a couple of niggles: - Oil cooler fitting leak - tightened, cleaned, stopped leaking - Radiator cap overflow fitting was leaking....Mark called it, the overflow fitting was threaded in and not tight....tightened, tested and held pressure - Small oil leak at the rear of the block, probably the turbo oil feed - too hot to get at it comfortably but probably just needs to be nipped up - leak at the driver's side rear brake line where it meets the hardline. Fitting wasn't loose, so Matt backed it off and back on, no further leaks - there's also a leak somewhere on the top of the fuel tank, maybe that cross over fuel line - that was has been left to fix when its on a hoist Otherwise than those niggles the car went great, turned great and stopped great so it was a very successful day out. I'm always really nervous when a car first hits the track after a long break, especially with a brand new engine as well but it was great. VID-20251011-WA0007.mp4  Big thanks to @The Bogan who dropped by and helped out, @MBS206 and my nephew Lachlan the apprentice.  Neil's wife Mel also surprised the hell out of all of us by dropping by; she's up in Tamworth these days but was travelling to Melbourne so had plausible deniability for turning up at the garage, it was great to see her but also obviously a bit sad all round.
