I got out to the Mallala track day for a spin on the GSXR race bike.

I'm almost 3 seconds off the pace, but I'm happy with my 1m20s considering I'm back from a serious injury. But I'd love to be doing 1m17s again :(

Had a few mates on their bikes out on the track, and I had fun "carving them up". My mate's were on 1000s and they were a bit miffed they couldn't catch me on my 600 :) Ah, it was good to have a bit of fun!

Went to a BBQ with them last night, and had a few good yarns about the day ... including the mobile food fight between our van can my mate's car on Port Wakefield Road at 110kph on the way out there :D

speaking of drift hacks, ive got 46 days to fix a whole heap of shit on mine

getting the other headlight working

power steering rack

alignment

radiator re-core

maybe re-bracket my intercooler so its not held by one bracket and a cable tie

get a silicone reducer joiner so i dont blow my crossover pipe off the rest of my piping (those out last nite will know what im talking about)

and god knows what else

going to attempt to rip out my a/c stuff too (never used it, never gotten round to ripping it out either)

Anyone able to clarify here? I'm useless as tits on a bull when it comes to suspension. In the pic below, the part that's circled, is that the tie rod? Just need to know as mine is bent and needs replacing, just unsure if I buy brand new from Nissan or go to the wreckers and grab one

    • Hey, it's a GT-R, it's just as significant a moment as mine😁 It's not ideal when things are uncertain; I'm the type of person that always has a set plan for things in life so being unsure of this plan puts me in a weird place mentally.
    • Hows your intake piping? Are you still running stock? Having in the stock AFM position would mean, if the BOV was shut/venting out, it'd create the almost stalling kind of effect right // "the rich pulse behaviour" due to MAF thinking air is flowing ? But this would be better than having the bov in the stock position + MAF on/just before cross over piping right?
    • Essentially, yes. Although I wouldn't put the AFM on the crossover pipe. I'd want to put it into what amounts to the correct size tube, which is more easily done in the intercooler pipework. I bought a mount tube for card style AFM that replaces the stock AFM - although being a cheap AliExpress knockoff, it had no flange and I had to make and weld my own. But it is the same length and diameter as the stock RB AFM, goes on my airbox, etc etc. I don't have a sick enough rig to warrant anything different, and the swap will take 5 minutes (when I finally get around to it and the injectors & the dyno tune).
    • So to summarise, the best thing to do is to move recirc to between turbo and IC, and maf on the crossover pipe. Meaning I'd need a recirc flange, drill a hole in the piping on turbo outlet area. And drill hole on crossover to fit/weld maf sensor? Either that or put the MAF on the turbo inlet right?  Is an aftermarket recirc/blowoff valve recommended? Do currently have family in Japan so could probably bring something back with maybe a cheeky lil SuperAutobacs run?
    • Yep, so far most have said that it looks like corrosion on the wall from piston not moving. Which then has probably damaged the oil rings and caused those vertical marks. The longest the engine was still after the rebuild, was the winter of 2018 - 2019, plus the boat trip to Japan. When I shipped the car, it had normal gas in the tank but before that winter pause, it had E85 in tank.  In any case, even if either one of those was the cause, it happened close to 6 years ago and the car has been driven something like 30 000kms after the fact. Again, apart from the plugs and the dip stick, there is nothing in the way the car runs that would indicate what has been going on in the engine. I am going to consult a shop and ask their opinion, what would be the best approach. I do have some access to a garage I could use to diagnose further myself, but time is very restrictive. Might end up buying another engine that could be used while this one is being remedied. Without pulling the head, it will be impossible to find out if it needs another bore, but here's to hoping a hone would suffice.  Goddamnit, I would really have preferred this not happening.
