Update?

Niel's car had some slight teething issues.

The weather was perfect for spectating.

The pits/track was absolutely packed with Historic Touring Cars all guzzling about 20L of fuel a lap :(

When their weren't any cars on the track all I could hear was the drag cars at WSID ripping it up :)

I met 1 of the Lebanese A1GP drivers and had a snack with him (that guy has way too many HSBC credit cards :))

yeah there would have ben lots of the Historics there as there was the biante meet on sunday. unfortunately we didn't run spencers car as we got booted off the entry list! they had oversubscribed and gave preference to cars that had contested every round so we missed out. they gave us free tickets as compo, but as it was pissing down on sunday i didn't go out.

Neil, is everything ok now?

Yeah the rest of the day was ok - i decided just to go out and not care about the fuel (although i did go a bit slower on the big left handers)

Rang Nathan - going around tommorrow

Just loved the straight :( sideways (just for fun) on to the straight then holding all the gears flat - cant beat that feeling

It was good to put a few more names to faces

They silver GTR that was there with me - he had an awesome time plus it was his birthday

i was having to much fun to do times!! sorry

couldnt do times anyway - as the others already know i had a fuel leak problem everytime i hit a left hander (most of the track :) ) which caused litres of fuel to escape, so i took it slow(er) around the lefts and looked forward to the rights :)

bummer! pity half the track is left handers lol. I'm guessing when your car was complied they didn't properly seal the fuel filler neck restrictor. oh well at least it's an easy fix. just need some devcon and 20 mins to do it.

Little unsure at this stage Baron, Greg thinks its nothing to worry about. It pumped some oil out a breather so I have to block it off. Seems the rotor doesn't like left handers either. Next run will be on his dyno to iron out some tuning issues.

Richard I did a lazy 1.56,,,and I mean lazy.

Oh and I shouldn't forget Duncan,,,,Thanks buddy you did a TOP job. Don't forget next time you have a problem with Navara to tell Nathan it could be the toilet. HA Ha.

not bad mate 1.56 just tootling around is certainly moving in the right direction. I am seriously hoping once you have spent some time in the car, and have it all working the way you want that you can knock JP off. although i don't know if i should be encouraging a ford to beat a nissan. man i am so conflicted.

don't worry about the oil though rotors are nonstop pumping out of everywhere anyway mate. it's normal that you need to fill up with oil and fuel at the same interval :P

oh and i wont ask what the story is with the navara/toilet isssue.

Baron, just to give you an idea of a lazy lap

1/ Turn 1, button off at the 200M mark no use of brakes

2/ Cruised into 2 but up it for the rent on the exit and still into it hard through 3 and 4 (my favorite section).

3/ Cruising again till 8 (another favorite) only because of the fun you have on the exit

4/ Cruising for the rest till the lead on.

I'm not out to knock John off the top,,,but It will happen at EC. His car is way way to heavy. Jason's car will be the one to beat. Don't be conflicted buddy you know deep down you love Rota's and the Capri's a fat looking car. Hey my wife even loves it.

Apart from the oil leak the car wouldn't pull it's EC diff, (4.94) it was just getting to 8 grand in 4th at the control tower and won't rev over 8. I'm thinking it needs some serious dyno time. Greg thinks the old Mallory tacho could also be a problem as it has a rev limiter.

Enough raving I'm out to the garage.

Neil.

      So, version 4 intake is on its way I was looking at these a while ago but at around $200 or more it was a little pricey for something that might not work, but, I had it in my watch list, but, I got a message saying it was on special, and I had a code thingie to use, it eventually came in at $120 delivered, so BAM, BUY NOW.....LOL I'll need to have a look when it arrives but I feel it will "look" better than what I currently have, as it comes with a PCV fitting, so I will be able to get rid of the alloy pipe that goes to the throttle body with the PCV fitting  Well, that's what the voices in my head are telling me  Oh, and this happened today Yeap, it was a Trojan, and it was cheap, so I headed back to the hardware store and actually spent a little bit more on a heavy duty,  one that was actually recommended by a plumber mate, a Cyclone one with a fibreglass handle that is actually rated for clay The broken shovel will eventually be "modified" into a short handle shovel

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By MBS206 · Posted

      When you pulled it off, there is no signs of blown head gasket? Is it possible you have some other issues going on? Possible cracked blocked? Or do you think it's straight up lifting the head? Did you check what the head was torqued to before pulling it down (To see if possibly they're stretching, or starting to break threads out etc)?
