GTRgeoff

Still available. Pickup or I can drop off within reason.

Well, it's no SC400 to look at but at least 2 extra doors and more boot space. You could sell advertising on those side panels though.......

I'll take it mate. Plus shipping to Melbourne.

26 is the chunky one

Gold Mav. See you at the Barbie or you still runnin'??

Interesting to note that about the stock lines Paul. It might help to know it cost me about $400 in braided and speedflow fittings with converting the 25t to tt. The fittings tend to be the killer but it was about $10 for straights from my local hose place (HIS Hose Somerton in Melb)

Sunday....10am Mmmmm bacon and eggs.

Kaz you don't need to get another roadworthy if you pay rego within 3 months, but it continues from the original renewal date. So no real answer but a bit of useless info.

Cheers, see you there.

Bugger!! No other damage I hope. BTW can you also do a real life GT-SS comparo while you are at it jk

Burns it is an often used method to avoid losing a license if your points are low and you almost have some back. You can elect to go to court, then change your mind and pay a small fee in addition to the fine. sarah, have I met you? You're a long time member but not a big poster. Come along to the barbie tomorrow and say hi.

So you gunna actually drive it?? I like the sound of it but mate, your record for going for top end power is really against you Tell me about it tomorrow.

And you the king of the rev limiter. Musta been someone elses car

Just to clarify: - if you are NOT driving/cornering hard on the track (AKA the originator of this thread and no offence Matt) then spending upward of $2K on fitting a baffled sump is of extremely limited value piece of mind/insurance wise. - if your ARE driving hard OR you happen to have the engine out and you intend to do track then by all means fit the baffled sump or a dry sump. As a matter of interest, since Roy asked, you can change the sump engine in but is a bit scary as you need a 2 post hoist and a crane and a gearbox jack. You drop the front wheels off, car up, crane the engine up as far as you can off the mounts, then drop the cross member on the gearbox jack. Even so, unless you remove the crossmember and power steering altogether you can only drop the sump so far so then you have to remove the oil pickup through the gap left before taking it right off, and it is a cow to put back in but drysump would be a snack if you picked one up at the right price. Engine out is almost a quick. On a GTR you have to take off the gearbox to remove the rear bolts for the sumpso it's pretty much engine out anyway.

Sounds good actually. The 26 is just so lazy down low that I prefer a well built 25 with the extra compression and response. Just glad I build my own engines as the labour would be a killer, especially after the front turbine let go on a 10000km engine.

How much cash? Nah, I bet you had to submit photos or a description of the number and size of stickers. They want photo cars so the less the better. Did giant get in? (sif, who wants a plain green GTR32 even if it is fast?) They won't want fast cars competing against the Osmonds in their bathtub WRX.

Richard, something we didn't need to know, but maybe it helps to stop the beret falling off. Prizemoney? Someone tell Benno. Better yet, crazy Frank lives 5 minutes away. Taking candy from babies.

Ahh I love it when an expert turns up. The fastest cars doing circuit work with SAU Vic have none, and they are just fine. There is one track that seems to cause problems but the victims of EC turn 1 are reluctant to share their experiences. So what do you know that we don't, since we are really just hacks. I must have wasted my time racing sports sedans and working for a V8SC team. I have seen more than just one car on the track on my 22 years of motorsport it seems, but must have missed something. Admittedly my U2LSS was dry sumped, but it was on slicks and a bit quicker than what we do in super sprints. In fact, the most highly recommended workshop in Vic for Skylines (settle Ash!!), who is within 5 seconds a lap of V8SC in his street tyred GTR33 (only 15 seconds a lap faster that me and the bulk of the field) suggests they are not necessary, and the extra litre of oil is fine but an oil cooler a worthy fitment. Perhaps he also is wrong? The primary issue with RB's is the quantity of oil that remains in the head, so on rebuilding a 25 some work needs to be done to reduce oil flow to the head and improve oil flow from the head to the sump. The extra litre does not contribute to cavitation by the crank on the track where rpms are high and oil is held in the head, especially on stocker bottom ends. Ash, I have to admit I was hunting 300rwkw at one time, but decided instead to put the GTR34 TT's on the 25 to get a fat 260-280rwkw. Denhams problem was too much lag so I could exit corners in 3rd on the limit of traction, while he was stuck in 2nd and lighting up or in third was just waiting forever for the big snail to respond. Hopefully I'll have it sorted in the next month or so for a blast.

Cheers Ash, eitheer works. How can you lot be so interested in what is mostly a waste of effort? Autosalon/Cabin = pure crap There's real racing to be done, and now I need a working bee to get mytrack car back out there

F**k am I the only one not in on this transaction Thanks Pete. Hey Ash, can you bring it Saturday? If not, I'm retired anyway so can always pick up.

I remember that day at Sandown, Snowie (the Ice Supra pic). The Ricebucket was pissing oil everywhere and it went all up the side of my nice 33 in right of pic No love for 33's Pete, it's not a slider's battle; now where's my sump dammit? Maybe Drunken can bring it as cabin luggage next time he's down.

You fan boy Ash. It won't get you any off the bill I'll wager.

I'm with Benno. There are even signs of heat spots on the journal face in the bearing cap. Sorry but sounds like driver error (yet again) in that the foot didn't lift when the knocking started. Sure there might have been a little damage but not catastrophic.

No idea mate, sorry. Will we see it Saturday?
