Had this happen to me on tuesday

181904_1283235217183_1719195671_507243_6217350_n.jpg

Any thoughts?

I have been running 4 deg camber for last 5 track days, last 5 track days I have been using 2nd hand pcup slicks.

On tuesday I used new slicks and this happened at the end of 3rd session, (about 15 mins on track)

Tyre pressue was 37 after 1st session.. I then dropped to 28... So would have been a bit over 30 when this happened.

There were no lockups and the wheel didnt hit any curbs.

Thanks for any help.

Drew, some reckon that with the weight of our car we should be more towards 35 psi, I normally run around 35 psi but experiemented with 31 hot on tuesday. My tyres look fine and wear is good and even, with a fine ripple over the entire surface. did you check any temps on the day?

do you have any suspenison components rubbing?

damage during mounting i suppose is the only other thing I can think of.

either way mate, sorry to see your day ended like this, you were putting out some impressive times.

I recall the WRS guy at the track said it didnt think it was a puncture (at least not from trauma to the tread) but I guess with the way it is chewed up how could he tell. have you had time to give it a good going over Drew?

Nah, didnt check tyre temps on the day.. I will be sure to do this in the future though.

No components were rubbing on the tyre from what I could see.

The guys from WRS have the tyre now and will give it a good look over

Yeah its a shame this happened, but then I dont think I would have got much more track time in with the rain soon after.

How did you end up going with times? get back out there later in the arvo?

no, left before lunch. no better times later in the day. was pretty happy with the time we got considering the car was a handful (oversteer) after we changed the roll bar settings. a few tweaks hopefully will sort that out for next time out.

    • Ahh got it. Well maybe install a drain for the catch can somewhere down low and accessible like a wheel well too....
    • Before you blow your car up, have you checked you've made all the correct modifications to the wiring if you're still using the RB20DE loom?   Some things to look at: The pin used for the map sensor on the RB25DET, is the same pin used on the RB20DE for the Ring Gear Crankshaft Position Sensor, no idea what you've got it plugged into now. The turbo pressure control valve solenoid you're talking about on the RB25DET, the same pin is used for the Variable Air Intake Control Valve on the RB20DE.   The factory manual has the wiring pinouts in it for you to check everything. It also has the diagnostics process to read codes out. In addition, there's a great table that shows what sensors and what actuators not functioning will relate to which signals. And Nissan confirm the as everyone else has from experience, the Solenoid being disconnected won't cause a fuel cut. However, the turbo pressure sensor being missing / wrong, WILL cause a fuel cut. https://www.nicoclub.com/service-manual?fsm=Skyline%2FR34-Workshop-Manual-English.pdf
    • I've been hunting info on the G Series II - this is best I have found so far(Link below). Still waiting on the G35-1150 comp map, kind of very keen   So how do we go about getting precision on that little table of yours ?   https://turbosbytm.com/sites/default/files/product/technical-info/Garrett-G-Series-II-Product_Flyer 25 30 35_1.pdf  
    • yeah I get ~0.6L per session into the catch can. very ethanoly. It ends up overflowing out the breather of the catch can on circuit days too even with a 2.3L capacity catch can and I only drain out ~0.6L max. So every session I have to come in and drain the catch can, which is a hassle. So this is me cracking the shits and doing everything I can without removing the motor (back of head sump drain/breather and oil restrictors off the table). plans short term are: full length splash plates remove oem cam cover baffle add foam and reinstall at -10 or -12 AN fittings to the side of the cam covers down to the sump (luckily I already have fittings in the sump) Yes the ~340,000km unopened motor is probably not helping things
    • I'd use any fuel safe foam....mine went in 15 years and 15 rebuilds ago, still getting reused I'd have to say I don't understand swapping to studs to fit a particular baffle unless you are having a massive blowby issue, and even if you are addressing crankcase not head breathing is probably the next step.
