Gtr Carnage Thread

[Risking]

Since these things (GTR's) seem to spend more time off the circuit than on it we should have a thread to show off your carnage!

Heres my first effort for the new car.

happened at eastern creek today in the wet but think it was partially damaged from oran park testing a few weeks back.

Front wheels were not driving very well after it let go completly.

My effort in the same car 2.5yrs ago

[Evocoop]

This is a somewhat sadistic thread Risking but i'll play ya game.

This was my stock bottom end explosion while running a local hill climb. Standard gtr oiling system strikes again.

[Risking]

Hahah thats right ben I forgot about this cars untimely habit of destroying running gear!!

That crown wheel and pinion came from my old GTR so its gotta be the cars fault.

Evocoop I agree but it is fun to look at other peoples desruction. If nothing else it makes me feel better knowing im not the only one.

Ill post photos of my smashed JUN oil pump and snapped crank shaft latter thats worth a look see.

Kinda resembles your bottom end!

Just wait till Duncan makes a showing with his trail if destruction

He will place so much load on the server with his posts in this thread that the entire sau server will go offline for 2 days

No baby photo albums at duncans house, just albums full of broken rb26 parts...

Must say though, the your new GTR does look and sound and go bloosy well mate, its a very nice car!!

Thanks Chris.

We weren't expecting to find a lunched pinion but thats the result!

Oh this is going to be a good thread

I agree. Should be a few nasty items people have broken floating around

[jazzy_j]

Not as exciting I know but this is what I did to my nismo clutch at Wakefield 12 months ago. Happened at the fish hook on my last lap of the day. Clutch went to the floor and didn't come back.

[N1GTR]

Ok here we go.....these arent as bad as bending a rod 90 degrees, but just like any other broken part in a GTR they've been expensive

Launching; (done a few driveshafts now)

Here's my first motor gone;

Oran Park GP

For the life of me i cant find the pics of the second motor going at wakefield, but yeah - lots of oil on the outside of the sump, you can imagine the rest

Brad if you can please send me the tank pics that would be great

[benm]

Hrmm 3 of the 5 ruined gtr's in this thread have had involvement by me, lucky i sold up and moved away from gtr's coulda been an expensive life.

[Risking]

You owned one of then ben and its still breaking....

I remember that clutch, was pretty funny weekend.

Ill have to upload them latter and send them to you steve. I found a few better ones of the inside as well.

I have a cardboard box full of bearings that we used to pull out after 10,000K's just to be on the safe side.

Its amusing the parts we keep that have broken.

I still have my broken oil pump and crank somewhere. A few destroyed rods and blocks. multiple gearboxes with holes in them and now front diffs.

[N1GTR]

Cool thanks

[battery]

its pretty amazing but i have a great solution for all you guys with GTR trouble take out the RB26 and replace it with an RB20! engine troubled solved!!!!

[Duncan]

haha nice work Brad. "there's your problem!" too much power

just run without a front diff like John does.

BTW I've got nothing to add to this thread. Other than a few motors (nothing as impressive as coops) the only things I have broken are caster rods - broke 2 of them at different times.

[fatz]

^ drucan has even broken one of my caster rods

he is good at some things

[Risking]

Im not sure if power is to blame Duncan.

We've actually taken a power reduction of sorts trying to gain alot more midrange. Which could also have killed it.

That gear set did over 2 years worth of racing and who knows how much before that.

I think it was our tinkering with the ATTESSA controller (Haltech E11v2) which killed it. Plus the massive slicks would not have helped.
