So who wants to be pit crew next year whistling.gif

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

So who wants to be pit crew next year whistling.gif

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

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.

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.

    • Interesting, I've heard complete opposite on my end. Bit of a lottery I guess.
    • Getting Dangerously close to being ready to go back in the car. Rockers in with clearance castings now (and a quick check with the USA for the torque settings for the larger custom bolts) Covers and ported FAST Manifold sitting on there. Not fully tightened down as there's some clearancing required for the water pump with the earlier LS1 water pump styles. Example of the clearancing needing to be done: The body has to be ground a little but I'm struggling finding an actual piece of it. The later variant of water pump resolves the issue as the manifold was designed around it. It only came on the VZ LS1 in Australia, it got a different pulley for Gen4 motors. (it also costs $450... vs... $0).

    • Doing some height adjustment on front suspension on a v35 and noticed this. The passenger side looks correct. So wondering what's happened to the drivers side?
    • Oh...I have the electric mirrors as well iirc ...they're in the same state as just about every other R31 door mirrors, with the 3 plastic screw towers broken/cracked in the plastic molding. All the interior is 'dry', so the mirror switches etc likely all work fine. Some pics below of the trimmer pieces ~ looks to me like previous owner, painted chrome finished trims with black paint ...ergo, the chrome underneath is likely a-ok... ...starts to look yukky posting stuff like this, how much did it cost in fuel on your last sortie up this way?...me just thinking aloud, borrow someone else's 4cyl to cut costs, come do your own pick'n'pull like before to save me some bother...hehe.. but whatever, I'll just earmark bits I know you want, because the way this is all panning out, I'll be able to retire the R31 from daily duty at long last, replacing it with a Subaru wagon I'm lining up in the wings...ergo, my attitude towards the donor pinny shell is starting to wane a bit, and I'm more than happy to help you out there... Like you say though, no rush...and I'll guarantee we won't be moving too far from this locale at any rate 😎
