World Time Attack 2011

[Squishy]

Awesome event!

[Martin Donnon]

Simon, if you want to bring down some lines, we will happily use our crimping machine to get them done for you and set you up with the right kind of fitting

[Krishy]

So who wants to be pit crew next year

Yeah I shall volunteer for this role. Sounds like an awesome time out and the thoughts of going out later and hitting some clubs just sets it off lol

[Damo_R34]

Wow, how much work went into keeping this car running all weekend!!!

keen.

how hard is it to enter clubsprint class as a privateer? ive been playing around with aerodynamics in scale... the 33's getting a full sealed underbody but seeing the track i dont think it will have enough power still :S

[Catford]

Clubsprint is achievable for anyone to enter.

[Simon-S14]

Oh bad luck for him.

Probably move to JIC crimped fittings on braided hose and avoid that happening again. Its never much fun!

(This is how we do all of our GTR lines - high pressure oil leaks are always bad news on the track)

yeah wont be using pushlock again... too risky. had a chat to my local hydralink guy today and will go with single wire hydraulic hose with crimped JIC fittings..that shit aint coming off lol.

in the end damage was spun number 2 bearing and a cracked crank...am attempting to rebuild it using new crank, acl race bearings, APR rod bolts and N1 oil pump. hopefully should cover the bases

oh and cheers for the offer! i may still hit you up. depends how busy my hydralink guy is.

N1 oil pump?

[Simon-S14]

yeah thats what i said wasnt it? lol

[rad100]

i meant, wouldnt you want to put something abit more reliable?

[Simon-S14]

There's a lot of ppl using them with no dramas. And yet you her of breakages. So I dunno lol

[On Edge]

Get a tomei pump or a nitto saves the stuffing around an you'll have peace of mind

[Luke_ENR34]

+1 drift car with high revs, last thing u want is a pump failure.

[Martin Donnon]

We never failed an N1 pump in any of our 10,000rpm+ drag engines......however I still like to use the stock GTR pump over any of them, for some good reasons too!

[Simon-S14]

every seen a Neo RB25 oil pump martin?? they look suspeciously like an RB26 item! very different from r33 rb25 pumps

[Matty 31]

simon, can always compare to the stock R33 RB26 pump ive got sitting at mine doing stuff all if you like

[Simon-S14]

i gotta meet up with you too.. ive got that 50 from pickering for ya and your jack

[D_Stirls]

Have a read Simon, Considering you'll see more limiter than most i'd play it safe. but that's just me.

[Simon-S14]

haha yeah ive been watching that thread for ages... the mind boggles at how nissan get it so right sometimes.. and yet so many ppl have issues with N1 pumps. it begs the question was there a prob with the design/manufacture of the pump or a problem with the fitting/rest of the build that contributed to the failure.

i think i'll either reuse the OEM neo pump (i inspected it... looks brand new still.. no bearing material went thro it. or go a billet geat set for the oem housing.

[D_Stirls]

I think the issue is the amount of material at the thinnest point on the outer gear.
