car was fine on monday, running great as always and i had booked it in for its 100,000k service with SST.

come tuesday i am driving back from work (after finding that some idiot had put chewing gum on my windows) only to notice the battery and HICAS lights flicker on and off a couple of times. a few minutes later my car felt and sounded like it was running rough (missing a cylinder).

drove to work the next day and again it was fine but again driving home it did the same as before only this time when idling the car revved itself a few times then cut out, again flashing the HICAS and battery and oil lights.

doing the same thing today except it didn't run fine this morning. checked the oil and everything last night and i can't figure out what the problem is, though i am no qualified mechanic.

hopefully SST can sort it next week. until then... any ideas ?? anyone had this happen ??

:D

took it in to SST's new workshop for it's service etc, tuneup was great for the first half hour of driving but alas didn't solve the problem :D now it's burning oil with blue smoke pouring out of the exhaust and it's gotten even worse since the service.

it's going back into SST tomorrow so ant can check the detenation sensors and computer etc though i think it might have been a fuelling issue. hopefully it gets sorted and when i do find out what it was i'll be sure to fill you in. :)

that was my first thought too :P but SST have changed all the plugs.

so far SST have swapped parts in and out and ruled out everything apart from the ECU and the airflow metre...

plus it is over fueling at low revs, which is odd seeing as i have never adjusted the fueling.

*sigh*

      Oof, I will forevermore have those shredded gears in mind whenever someone talks about showing mechanical sympathy towards their car. Thanks for the photos, fascinating stuff!

      The holdups last year were drivetrain related. I had the car out right after getting the bearing issue resolved. Third launch and the car didn't move after releasing the clutch. It had sheared all the engagement teeth off the 1st gear.    Thankfully no other damage was done. I set an aftermarket gear beside an OEM gear and found that the engagement teeth on the OEM gear were much larger and better supported. Looking through my bin of spare transmission gears I found that there are two types of tooth on the OEM first gears - the larger tooth and the smaller tooth. It looks like most aftermarket gearset manufacturers base their design on the smaller tooth. OEM large tooth left - Speedtek, OS Giken, etc or OEM small tooth right Decided to give that larger engagement tooth a try. Pressed the ring off an OEM gear and sent it to a transmission manufacturer here in the States. They did their "faceplating" operation with my synchro ring on the Speedtek gear.   I reassembled it, took it back to the track and promptly destroyed the gear itself.  I'll rebuild this and use it as a spare - thankfully just first gear and the countershaft are damaged beyond repair. Definitely disheartening but my welded on engagement tooth ring held up!  Moved to Speedtek's dog engagement design as the gears appear to be much stronger. So far they have taken much more abuse at the track. Also scored a Stillway lockout from the Netherands for super cheap. It's for some other RB transmission so it took a bit of fabrication to fit but honestly a very easy job. I also had to heavily modify the gates as they were very different.   Then for some reason at the last test and tune a silicon coupler below the throttle blew off and took out the radiator and fan. Thankfully it was in the burnout box and not down track. This car is really beating me up - I still haven't made a pass in it. Ran it through the gears many times on the street but it keeps biting me at the track.  Currently in the process of replacing the radiator and remaking the throttle pipe to remove the coupler and use a cast 90 and a vband. I WILL get this thing down the track...

      Covers most of the above points really. There's a few exceptions but most just see driving as an irritating but necessary task they must complete if they want to get anywhere on time. Also see it as a good time to show their awesome multi-tasking abilities on their mobile and/or doing their makeup.

      I don't believe I posted pictures of the second oil pump pickup I added so here they are. Data shows it gets oil pressure up to the relief pressure much earlier in the RPM. Is that important? Not likely... This was just another attempt to fix the bearing issues.   I also heavily opened up the inlet to the pump since it now had to flow oil from two pickups. I believe the diameter increased about 1/8".
