aaah the turn 1 tyres strike again aye. lol

i swear dumbest move ever by mallala, so many cars are gonna get damaged. howd that orange 86 look after lol

but yeh i guess it will discourage ppl from dirt dropping

looking good simon, hopefully be up on the weekend to watch you. If you pick up a sponser you reckon you will keep the car?

Also, do all type have a trade plate? Keen to take the 31 down to them one day to have a look at my holey, slightly rusted rear 1/4 and see wat they can do.

depends on the level of sponsorship man. if its an all out sponsor then we'd prob import a fully set up track car from japan. burt if its a medium level i'll keep my car and develop it some more.

yeah all type have a trader, and a car trailer... call them and discuss your needs man

Wow that had to suck! Just like me getting a new turbo fitted to my car and three days later having some old bag run a red light in a Kingswood and write off my car! :wub:

And DON'T say "Not the Kingswood"!!!! ;)

pickle me grandmother!!!

thanks guys... thats 4th gear btw... its got decent power to smoke the bags at 4th at that kind of speed (150 ish kph)

mate, i would have trouble getting up the balls to enter those corners doing 100 ks in a strait line! let alone going 150, sideways!

its a real mans sport, thats why i dont do it lol, id rather go fast in a strait line ha ha.

haha yeah the weird thing is i feel safer drifting at high speed then i do sitting at 160 on the highway/drag strip thats sore sure... no idea how to explain that.

update on car: pretty much all finished! just gotta primer it for the weekend (wont be painted sadly)

So your car wont be at all type on saturday? Was hoping to have a look at it up close.

Try turn 4 at 230pkh on a race bike, knee on the deck, topping out 5th, and knowing if you lose it at that turn, you're going to hospital ... no doubts about that!

Then hard on the brakes to shave off more than double your speed for the northern hairpin.

:P

God, I miss my race bike :D

    • 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.
