You can be damn sure that Walkinshaw won't be backward in coming forward in charging anyone for services rendered.

Question of the day: Who would win in a fight: Kim Jones or Tom Walkinshaw? Or Kim's "mate out the back"

ha ha Tom would drop soft ol' Kim like a sack of spuds (and his mate out the back) :D

Occasionally you see adverts in the Auto Fiction when BJR are looking for people. I always figured that if you listed your hobbies on your cv something like below you would be a shoe in:

Hobbies:

Fighting.

Arguing with my brother.

Watching Russell Crow movies.

My money is on the Jones boy - he is match fit....

Can't believe Holden is throwing any cash at BJR, they are nobodies, they'd be better off running in the Fujitsu category against teams of the same level.

Brad Jones should have retired his helmet and continue on as a commentator, that's the only time I don't mind his whining. Kim is just a sad sack and wouldn't even know how to smile if he won the lotto.

its nothin to do with match fit...Tom is a scottish street brawler from way back and the only thing soft ol Kim would feel would be that big shifter in the back of his head ha ha

I went to bed last night a happy bastard,,,Frosty putting the thing on poll and smashing prick Kelly's lap record.

Wake up this morning with the news that hes been excluded for cheating. Seems the ignition timing was 3 degrees outside the rules. I'm at a loss as to why there should be a rule on timing,,,I would have thought let them run what ever timing they want after all its their engines.

What is with these Ford teams always getting busted for cheating. Over the last couple of years almost all the top running Ford teams have done it. Some that come to mind:-

1/ SBR wire-gate

2/ SBR balaclava gate x 2

3/ Vodafone rear brakes gate

4/ FPR timing gate

and thats just 5 off the top of my head.

Yeah! Bignose is such a putz he took the wall and launched back into Frosty.

I think luck had nothing to do with it. Simply trying too hard at the wrong end of the event.

The talent at the front though was great to see. Fast, clean and despite the last round controversy last year Garth was a worthy race winner.

ok good luck with the new engine, I'm finally getting to a sports sedan round - always seem to miss them at the rounds i got to.

Todd Kelly has a nice new livery for the Bahrain round

Hopefully Brighty can sort his car out. Some people get all the bad luck

Exactly...Skaife is getting older and slower so he is continually pulling dumb moves in desperation

      Nismo 1.5 way Stub axle issue

      I picked up an open Center with shafts. I was told the Open shafts will fit a mechanical LSD and looking at them. I think they will work. Will update

      The manual says a lot about the different ratios requiring different shafts. all the Centers are the same but depending on the ratio, this determines the shafts because different ratios need the center to be offset more or less or right to left.

      those 2 sets of shafts will not interchange and if you’re lucky you haven’t damaged anything with all your pressing and bashing you said you’ve done

      Lets play a game - What is causing my oil consumption?

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Freshly built stroked RB25/28. Motor runs great but consumes a lot more oil then It should. This summer with the heat I was consuming roughly a quart per 1800-2000kms. Now with the cold weather coming in, I'm consuming a quart per 1000kms which is no bueno. I had originally chalked this out to break in taking a little longer then it should, but I'm now around 4000km's on this engine. I think it's fair to say something isn't quite right. Here's the kicker, can't find what's causing it. I've also spoken to my engine builder and Precision Turbo and can't figure it out. Here's my train of thought on possible causes and what I've done.  Precision Turbo - I originally started thinking my oil pressure might be a tad too high for my 6466 Gen2. I took the center cartridge out, and while yes there's signs of oil on the turbine heatshield, it's very moderate. There's also very minor in/out play that concerns me. I sent pictures and videos to precision and they said the residue and in/out play is minimal and they doubt this is the issue. For piece of mind, I went ahead and installed a Turbosmart OPR V2 to bring oil pressure down. Made no difference. Precision is willing to take it in on RMA for an inspection and I'll probably take them up on that offer for peace of mind. BTW. Is it just me or does the turbines inducer's look clipped and not even between each other? I just noticed this now while posting and looking at the picture zoomed in. Might just be the picture...  Rings - Hot compression test and leak down test look good. Compression is 160 +-2psi across the board. I leak down at 16% on cyl 1,2,3,5,6 and 18% on cyl4. Keep in mind I have a snap on leak down tester and they read high (I.E, 15% on my wifes 2018 Sentra with 70000kms). Sparkplugs show minimal oil (Only #4 seems to have a tad). At a quart per 1000km's though, I would be expecting them to be wet. Here's the kicker, I run WMI. I'm thinking what if my compression rings are great, but I have an oil control ring issue on cyl4 and my WMI is steam cleaning the pistons and sparkplugs? I can still see the "Spool" logo on top of my CP pistons. The only time I see smoke out of the exhaust is in the high rpm/load range. So far, this is my main culprit. I'll probably turn off my WMI and go out with the car at spring pressure tomorrow and repull the plugs. Other thing that's strange though is that I have never seen any oil in my catch can. Thing is still dry after 4000kms. Cyl1 - Left, Cyl6 - Right. Valve seals - They're new and I would expect oil consumption on idle, first cold start or during decel. None of which is happening.  Crankcase pressure - I have 2x 10an valve cover lines to a vented catch can. Head drain and opened up internal oil drain paths. I also don't run E85. I've never seen any oil in my catch can. Doubtful this is causing any issues.  Rear main seal - I have no visible leaks, but figured maybe it was my rear main seal. After now having added 2-3 quarts, I would expect oil to leak out the bottom drain channel and/or my clutch to be slipping.  Let me know your thoughts. With winter coming and taking the car off the road until spring, I'm fine with pulling the motor apart but I would hate to take it all apart and the turbo was the issue in the end.

      Actually, the best option is probably to get some of the stronger aftermarket driveshafts that have both the 5x1 and 3x2 pattern on them, so OP can do whatever the hell OP likes with the diff in the future and not have all this angst. I posted a link to them sometime in the last 2 weeks, I'm sure.
