The engine builder :happy:

It was leaking water into the oil, which was basically due to not having the head and block decked together after it was pulled apart to fix a minor oil leak. Long story short is that the engine was in and out constantly for a year, the warranty work they were doing on it was taking forever and I lost confidence in them so I cut my losses and took it to someone who I knew would have some diligence and take some pride in their work.

Those bearings were in the car for a dyno session and half a lap of Sandown...

That sucks glad to hear it is all coming along nicely this time around. I was pretty nervous building up my SR as it was all very new to me im used to A series datsun engines you cant kill them haha, but my engine builder went through everything with me and so far so good 2 events down.

Machining was done by Blackwell race engines, and a friend of mine and an ex-supercar engine builder are putting it back together for me.

Really disapointing to see what happened with the previous motor and those bearings in particular, not very nice stuff. Good to see things are progressing nicely with the new rebuild and hopefully it will all work out for you.

it looks like they are second hand ones, you don't know anyone with the remote mounts laying around do you?

Nope brand new but the rears bottom mounting and canister are off his sons drift car so he could get mine done in time, even took some money of because of it so im not complaining.

Sorry don't know of anyone with some laying around.

August, doing 6th at Winton on the way up....going to be a busy 4 days working flat knacker to get my car ready. But have to beback in India on 16th so only chance to give the ol girl a punt

Unlikley then mate. I'll probably have the engine back in 2 weeks I'd say, then another week or so to get the nerw turbo kit on and tune and hopefully a run at Sandown in case anything goes pear shaped!

Thought I'd share this.... 3 years in the making and today was its first "successful" road test! (I had a few unsuccessful ones due to fuel system issues).

So here it is! Australia's first legally engineered and registered twin turbo'd VW. The goal is to be quick in the sprint events that I race in. The car hopefully weighs in around the 800kg mark, 1/2 the weight of the R34 which realy struggles around the gocart track I race at.

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      What can't be done with a little bit of decking board or similar timber bolted to a hub flange via 2 wheel nuts is not worth talking about.

      R34 GTT idle problem

      By silviaz · Posted

      I noticed something. On the tps sensor and the sensor behind the adjustment screw is adjusted towards the far left. Are these screws supposed to be centered? (this sensor was in the same position before the tune as well)  Also attached a photo of where my car usually idles at when warm (sometimes a tiny bit above that). I think I might have screwed up the calculation and it might have better than I thought lol at 750rpm still not 650rpm though.

      Duncan's V37.......race car?

      By Duncan · Posted

      So for both general interest of engine health, and to rule out any coolant/oil issues, I organised an oil analysis done on the 125,000klm oil Results below, all good, just a bit of fuel dilution which I'm not too worried about

      This is actually a really good way of measuring what wheels fit. If only there was a similar measurement between hub face and suspension :p That said, it's probably pretty simple to actually measure it all with the wheel off the car for the rear. The front is a bit more complex but..

      R34 Gtt Wheel Offset Advice

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Being the top Google search result for R34 wheel-related inquiries, lemme throw down my experience. I calculated that 100mm from hub face to wheel face is about the perfect fitment for my ENR34 sedan.  I've been running 18x8.5s, ET35, with a 1" spacer. So, 8.5in to mm = 216mm. 216/2 = 108mm. 108-35 = 73mm. 73+ 25 (1" to mm) = 98mm.  If you wanna get close to this on dif widths, here are the offsets you'll want: 9" - ET around 15mm 9.5" - ET around 20mm 10" - you're crazy, but ET around 30mm All these should fit perfectly on a non-widebody, non-GTR Skyline. Note that it's probably the absolute max, and you're probably better off running a couple degrees of camber in this config, but it looks great, super flush.
