Dark has gone quiet all of a sudden... maybe he is creating a new nic for NSW boys... or maybe skyzer kicked him off just to get a reaction?

the NSW guys seemed pretty cool when i visited them on a small cruise.... but they seemed really angry in the thread... they seemed pretty pissed!

when do u mean.. i've gone quiet?

i'm still here.. just trying to cut down on the whorring

HAAHA you and paul cutting down on whoring.... YEAH RIGHT... thats like yo guys going cold the sphincter of the universe or something! it just won't happen!!

Anyway ummm tomorrow night at drags.... well i would REALLLLLLY like a HIGH 12... but in reality i know i won't get that... i pulled 295 rhwp the other night at PSI but that was at 13psi... my 1st ever time at the drags i saw mackas turbine go through his exhaust and out the other end when he ran 14psi i think, so due to job change i don't want to do anything drastic at the moment so i wound it back to 11 psi and ran 275 rwhp.... so realisitcally if i do manage to pull a good start well maybe 13.5... if lucky 13.3.... will see how it goes... never been in the drags before

I dunnoif misunderstood is quite the word for it!!!!

Good luck at the drags 25GTT! Just remember to take a few deep breathes and when the orange light comes on then boot it! By the time you actually go anywhere then the green light will have said go! Thats all the advise I have to give, I raced the GTS-X down 4 times but only on 1 night so I am no pro! My foot was shaking when I got past the post from the adrenilin! Its good fun though!

Niz, did you look at the jobs at Curtin? I can give you the website again if you need it. They are all advertised on there.

    • The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
    • I don't know it is due to that. It could just be due to load on track being more than a dyno. But it would be nice to rule it out. We're talking a fraction of a second of pulling ~1 degree of timing. So it's not a lot, but I'd rather it be 0... Thicker oil isn't really a "bandaid" if it's oil that is going to run at 125C, is it? It will be thicker at 100 and thus at 125, where the 40 weight may not be as thick as one may like for that use. I already have a big pump that has been ported. They (They in this instance being the guy that built my heads) port them so they flow more at lower RPM but have a bypass spring that I believe is ~70psi. I have seen 70psi of oil pressure up top in the past, before I knew I had this leak. I have a 25 row oil cooler that takes up all the space in the driver side guard. It is interesting that GM themselves recommend 0-30 oil for their Vette applications. Unless you take it to the track where the official word is to put 20-50w oil in there, then take that back out after your track day is done and return to 0-30.
    • Nice, looks great. Nice work getting the factory parts also. Never know when you'll need them.
    • Thanks @jtha7 I will have a look around tomorrow but it is a prick of a spot. These are some photos i tried taking 
    • I take it that the knock retard is from bearings tapping a little tune? Thicker oil is a fragile bandaid. You need a much bigger oil cooler and probably the bigger pump being discussed.
