Hey guys....

Happy Festive seasons !!

im having to drive around some niggling problems at the moment...RPM is capped at 7,000rpm as there is a apparent ignition breakdown that needs to be addressed above this point and its also half throttle out of horseshoe, last turn and gears 5 and 6 to prevent breakdown.

Looking at upgrading to some LS1 coils :)

i have noticed that keeping it in the lower gear means the car enters the corner alot more eagerly vs the higher gear which settles the car and gives me a chance to process whats happening :P

i will definately pencil down these pointers but figured i need to put together 11 turns and a clean lap before i start to push

harder at certain points :cheers:

GOAL is for car to break 1:02s by August 2012 - all input greatly appreciated!!!!

Plan is to increase revs to 8000rpm, increase stroke :) ,increase boost (currently low boost), reduce some more weight and sort out the suspension further!!

I have to ask.. the fitting that goes in your oil filler hole.. what is the point of that?

It cant be a catch can return cause oil doesnt flow up, and even if it was why would u return trapped oil in the head back to the head. dont mean anything rude or offensive it just has been baffling the crap outta me for weeks

It was something i saw on a fellow members car (Stuart's R33GTR) and his rationale made sense.

Apparently all his breathing issues resolved itself when the oil cap was tapped and turned into another 'breather' point.

Idea is under G-forces, oil is pushed to back of motor. Having a hole at the front, helps the breathing for the motor and

prevents oil getting pushed out from the back

hope this makes sense :thumbsup:
