congratulations . i just saw my car for the first time at the compliance shop, and im in love! its an awsome feeling. you probably wont get any pics up for a while coz you wont be able to stop driving it long enough to take any and post em up :)

i think my car has arrived Brisbane as well. ill be getting some pics of it from my broker since im not in Aus atm which sucks.

where r u located mate? im getting a 96 LM V spec which is blue as well. just funny we have two blue ones comming at the same time. :(

Well i got it this morning, the car is great! Scared the crap out of me when it came on boost in 1st gear, no power, then suddenly wham, its up at 7500rpm!

Mine is a different blue to yours fankxy, its just the regular blue. Came up pretty good after it got detailed though. There was another blue GTR at the shop that did my compliance, SSPI. Many thanks to Chris there, top bloke.

Oh and i'm down in Sydney mate.

    • 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.
    • Hi @Chupapy i had several leaks from coolant pipes being corroded, i also had one leak on back of the head onto transmission. For me that leak was from the turbo water line. Follow the line to the back of the head The hose and metal pipe had perished these are the best pics I took of it at the time
