lol yeah the boat doesnt often come off that hoist eh? my car was there for 3 days and still tim cracked me up after giving me the bill by telling me the thing I had booked it in for hadn't been done....apparently they thought fixing the gasket leak was more important than ricing it up....pfft.

Hey Duncan,I'm thinking about becoming a paid up member of the club for amongst other benefits being able to go to race tracks on track days and give my GTR 33 a run,just wondering if you can tell me what's required of me before I can race on the track or even do solo laps to avoid hitting or being hit,as I don't want to damage my baby just want to have some fun legally??Cheers Grey Pearl.

Hey Rob, looks like you are based in Ballarat, best bet would be to contact the SAU Vic club, I'm based in NSW. I'm sure they will have beginners track days like the one we are running in 2 weeks.

shagged indead lap dance girl

haha glad to hear you finally got pete off your pc kyle....I'd hate people to get the wrong impression about you too :thumbsup:

good question about the motors really.....so far I've never had the same problem twice, but I've had plenty of problems...

fuel pump died (bad earth) pinged to death

crack in an oil gallery in block

radiator came off mounts and lost coolant, cooked block and head

engine builder's mistake (crack in oil pick up)

spun bearing on the original unmodified motor (can't really complain about that)

etc etc, couple of others I can't remember

we always seem to come up with an interesting and new way to kill them.

the thing is...honestly....everyone competing seriously with these motors kills heaps of them.....we just own up to it :P

this one looks pretty minor, mostly because I know what a fcuked motor feels like by now and I backed off early. Probably caused by oil pump dying, will know in the next day or 2.....big end 5 and 6 are damaged but not spun so shouldn't be too bad.

Russ.....stop offering to help other people and get your boat ready for targa! but just incase you do have a motor that needs a good home I've sent you a pm :D

Sounds like the 26's are very over rated engine and you should invest in the rb30 or a rb20 , bullet proof engine they are .

Fatz is just self explainatery

Luckily i have 2 pc so fatz can look at porn while i can do whati need to.

lol I think he's sleeping with you. I know he's hard up but you could do better kyle.

not really sure that surge is the problem, I run the trust sump (about 8l) and run it overfull but I never got the bloody data logger running so I won't know until next time:(

btw I have gone back to the future and chucked an rb30 in the tow car, should make the old stagea pull a bit better. that one should be back next week hopefully.

yeah .. true

before we dry sumped, we were upto 13 engines... and we were so close to giving it away

we have only built two engines in the last two years now , the one in the r32 is still the same donk we fitted before Tsukuba ( it's almost two years old now) and the one in the r34 hopefully it can

become two years old too..lol

but yeah dunc, it's a bloddy pain in the ass when it's different things, how were the oil temps?

also i reckon if you can run an accusump , bloody good idea, rules permitting ( if its cracked oil pump one word, REIMAX)

Same Id never go back to a regular oil system. Since dry sumping ive had one engine problem which was tune related and never had a bearing failure since.

Im not sure Duncan is aloud to run accusumps, surely they'd bend the rules with pity though!

lol no dry sumps, no acusumps. pump gears might be a different story as long as noones reading this thread :thumbsup:

we've got an accusump for the nugget until it goes dry sump, looks like that is the only way to keep a serious race car together reliably

When you are all truly, completely and utterly pissed tonight grab a happy snap....i mean your profile needs a good pic

Sorry to hear Duncan and you cop it on the chin well though. You are finding and overcoming lots of problems and running out of bad luck and sorting issues so light at the end of the tunnel.

Hmmmm get a VG once sorted no probs, just no front diff.

Sam Markov runs a Acusump in his R32 GTR with over 400wkw and no probs. Has some smarts in it though.

    • It's unfortunate what Tomei USA has done to Tomei's name in general. I'm very weary of ordering parts from them now. I only order direct from a Japanse source (e.g Nengun). At least their logos are different, so you end up knowing what you have. 
    • Update Issues 5 (plus #4) - 10 After making a claim about issue #4's missing part, DeAgostini Japan sent a whole new issue #4 and it arrived about 2 weeks after that. That was back in early March. It took another 4 weeks to receive issues 5 - 13 though. This update is for issues 5 - 10. Ove the 5 issues the front left suspension and most of the engine have been completed. The quality of the castings and fit of the parts is quite good, it seems better than DeAgostini's BNR34 Skyline GT-R from the Fast & Furious 2 movie, which (to me anyway) doesn't seem to have as tight tolerances or quite as accurate castings.  Each issue has a lot of info about the 1989 - 1993 Skyline range and other Nissan models from that era, but the focus is on the BNR32 Skyline GT-R Nismo and the various racing it did in Japan, Europe (Spa 24hrs) and of course Australia. I've included some text translated with Google Lens in some photos and will add to them if there's anything worth including. 
    • If it's for a SR20, make sure it's not the American Poncams, might as well call them Poocams. Had a set in a friend's car, all scuffed up after a few track days. Like the metallurgy Tomei USA used is junk. Went back to JDM OG Tomei Poncams, no issues till now.   Tomei USA is not the real OG Tomei.   Random rant over, fk the US of A, bunch of c u n t s. 
    • Most of the industry in North America either runs on Siemens or Allen Bradley. I have two redundant S7-1500's on my desk right next to me for simulation. Siemens has been losing ground though since Stuxnet, as cybersecurity is a big thing. In my line of work that is federally regulated, you must by law have a cybersecurity management program in place and its audited and inspected every so often.  I work with Emerson PLC's daily (RX3i's) and have done large biogas/refinery projects with their DCS's. Their PLC's are somewhat OK minus the way they do PLC redundancy (You have to download on both PLC's separately every time you make a change )  As for their DCS's... you'll be limited financially first before anything else stops you. Costs are exorbiant at roughly 10x what it would cost you to do with any other system (e.g AB PAC).  1990's, those suckers are brand new haha! Kraft-Heinz (An old client when I use to work for an ESP) still runs Siemens TI505 PLC's from the mid 80's. Ohh how I don't miss working with those... you could only do a certain number of online downloads until it's "Change" buffer would be full and you would then need to go offline to do a full download. There was no warning of when this was coming up and it generally would happen when you would go in at 2am to make changes before production -_-.
