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.

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.

      Nah, the car seems to run exactly as it did prior, in saying this it does "seem" to be better down low, like more eager to rev, but that may be 100% placebo effect from intake noise But, I'm not worried about it at all, in the end it is a fairly low compression NA engine that has a well shrouded intake,  if it is getting hotter IAT I cannot notice anything negative performance wise from the seat of my pants thrashing it about on the street or sitting in traffic, so meh, car now now makes induction noise so I'm happy

      Do you have an IAT sensor? It's worth checking it to see. You may be suprised how little gap you actually need to flood your engine with hot air. (I tape up my airbox for a reason) :p

      @KinkstaahKrinkle paint the "silver" alloy, not the red filter frame Engine bay heat won't be a issue worth worrying about as the silver alloy blocks it off on 3 sides, as for the top, the bonnet seals most of it and the big OEM CAI intake snorkel is still fitted in its original position  I will head into Clark's Rubber when I have some time to grab some pinch weld to tidy up the alloy after I paint it As for performance, I honestly wasn't expecting any, the only reason I got it is because the intake noise sounds cool to my old ears when I'm feeding it the beans Sometimes it's the silly things you do in in life that gives the most fun, and I do love anything that makes cool car noises In other news: I survived 4 nights at sea with Jackie not throwing me over board, holidays are continuing now as we are currently chilling at the Beachcomber in Toukley, after taking the coast roads from Sydney in the MX5, top down all the way, Toukley is where I spent a good deal of my youth holidaying during the summer months, there's lots of reminiscing going on,  and lots of beaches and old houses to visit Next on the list is to head to Batemans Bay for a few days, but we will take the Commodore out to stretch its legs, then Commodore hasn't really moved for months

      There’s probably people who’d like to do it and then when it comes to putting their hands in their pockets they’ll all disappear into the shadows

      Thinking of getting a Q50 300hp and just tuning it instead of getting the Q50 Red or 400R

      By Duncan · Posted

      interesting....sounds like the later trans has software differences (or AM vs JDM). If I wasn't going down the tuning route it would be worth looking into retrofitting a new computer to the old box.
