:( hoping it is just a leaky hose.

Either way Plenum out all hoses replaced.

Temp always under half way today. Leaks when turned off, not while on

No oil in water or water in oil (yet!!, touch wood)

Richard, I noticed today that your Exhaust and mine are the same (Blitz Nur Spec), but I have my silencer bung in.

All I need to do now is build a Fat GTR around it and I'll have your car. ;) minus the leak of course.

Fingers crossed she's all sweet (And I'm sure she will be!!).

Mine was on other side of the motor. I too had hoped it was just a fluid line or worst case a welsch plug but no such luck as confirmed when we got her on the hoist.

Do you have aftermarket temp gauge? Bear in mind by the time the factory one moves you're usually well f**ked and it's too late.

my zorst has no bung in the bung hole :D

and yeah - I was worried it would either go off the dial. Either upwards or downwards.

I'm Just relying on the factory one at the moment which as you know is either half or full or zero.

Kept one eye on it for any movement today. My PFC used to monitor water temp but haven't got the Haltech doing this.

Will have to get one in the triple gauge or hook a pc upto Haltech

Yeah - when stuff goes bad on a GTR it's normally really BAD

The may lose green fluid, but it doesnt lose turbos........

Yeah kinda pee'd on me a bit lol looked a familiar colour after drinking a few too many V's..... Warm too...

I just wanted it to be anything other than what it was... Coming out a crack on the side of the block.

Oh well. She's all sweet now! But I never want that feeling again.

Im going to set up an output on my haltech (maybe tomorrow if i can be bothered lol) that will display a bright red led when water temp gets over say 90. will also use this once i get an oil pressure and oil temp senders for it too. Once light comes on, pull over or its gonna be expensive lol. Would only require 1 output as well, just have a few conditions set!

Wouldn't you think maybe to set it at a little higher say around 100... Water temp is generally higher that oil temp by up to 10 degrees, when I give mine the beans it gets to a little over 90...

Just a suggestion

Yeah on average my water temp on the PFC shows 70-75 (depending on hot weather) and on my oil temp gauge it reads 65 or so.... Either way you don't want either of them creeping too high because that spells disaster..

Here be just some of the horrors that lurk beneath the plenum. There are more attached up under the plenum itself..........

That's not my engine, but gives you some idea

Thanks JD.

Going to be something/anything in the red circles below.

Definately Plenum off :(

Good excuse to get my Nismo on - woot woot

holds an extra litre of air and feeds number 5/6 alot better

Anyone heading out to the Nats for a look?? I have a season pass so I'll be loitering around. Will likely be in Braddon on the Fri/Sat nights too.

I'm keen to head to the drive in on the Thurs but have no idea if that's just for entrants with cars. Anyone got any idea?

It's like on the main screen at the main stage or something. Cars that aren't entered can't drive in but I'm assuming you can sit on the grass or somewhere to watch it.

They are playing Cars and Running on Empty.

Surely there's external speakers right? lol

    • 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.
