hey guys,

well dyno results from yesterday were good 794ps at 4 wheels!! shows you how happy some dyno's are over here!

had practice today, we had lots of car handling issues , not entirely sure why? we could not get on

the power until the car was completely straight or it would just shoot off the road, just an utter pig to drive. checked the wheel alignment this afternoon when time permitted and we had twelve mm toe out in the front!! we think it may have happened from the way it was tied down in the container for freight, not exactly sure if 4wd is working correctly either and dont have gauges etc here to check that. Mark only managed 1.00.01 sec today but if we get the handling woes sorted out should be another two seconds we think. we would be really great!!

some absolutely awsome cars here my favorite is the m speed gtr, just beautiful, they broke the hollinger today but i think they ran a 54!! the UK guys are here running in our group , not sure how there doing yet, dont think they have cracked the minute mark yet and the blue rex failed the engine today.

just loving it here, fantastic , just really wish the car was performing! hopefully we sorted it out this afternoon as we did alot of work on it to try and fix it but no chance for a test & event starts at 6.00 am.

keep ya's posted

cheers russ

    • 49719 is the cooler loop. Right at the front, LHS of that diagram. Return line from rack (LP side) goes to cooler loop on RHS front of car, then back under engine and returns to bottom of tank. 49717M is feed from tank to pump. HP line out of pump is thick rubber, followed by the hard line that runs down to crossmember and runs in parallel (but opposite flow direction) to the LP return line. Nothing goes anywhere near the firewall or interior of car. The closest they get to that is the connections on the rack.
    • Thanks, plan is to drain all fluid tomorrow and do smoke test to find out the leak.   Appreciate your help and want to understand how the system work. So cooling is achieved by the long loop not any rad? The diagram seems to suggest it connects to somewhere inside the cabin and I thought that is a cooler inside firewall. If you look at the diagram it seems to show it connects to something inside firewall. I tried chasing it but not easy unless I take loads off   i am confident pump is good as fluid goes in and it gets soft( steering) but as soon as I turn engine off , loads of bubble come to surface and overflow. When engine is on , fluid level is below minimum but when off it shoots off and thinking it is sucking air in. I suspect aluminium pipe may have a crack line or whole   smoke test with no fluid should be a good start and if needed will remove the pump   In addition, the one going under the engine bay is high pressure line and one directly connecting from pump to resorvoir is return/ low pressure?   finally I searched and suggestion is to use dexron 2 but that is discontinued so bought dexron 3 as all research suggest it is compatible and shouldn’t cause any issues/ blow seals. I bought two liter of dexron 3 motul atf
    • Don't worry about. Just don't try to drive hard enough to make boost and you'll be fine.
    • Yes. This has already been said. It is a loop of hardline in front of the radiator. Because.... the pump is on the LHS and the steering rack hydraulic connections are where they always are on a RHD steering rack....on the RHS. The high pressure line goes down under the engine, along the crossmember, like it does on all Skylines. Don't just throw expensive braided hoses/other kits at it. Work out what is wrong and fix that.
    • Still got the afm on the intake, clamps are shut tight, only loose hose is the one that goes from the j pipe towards the IACV, since it's next to impossible to find a factory hose and the barbs are different sizes (I'm still using clamps on this hose to try and help it seal on the iacv side) I've ordered parts to make up the hotside of the intercooler pipes, I'll plumb it in and see what happens in a few days I suppose The turbo's internally gated, can I just unscrew the tension rod to let the gate open?
