OK. SO I have been using 300V on my E85 fueled GTR for the past 15 or so months. I had a oil pump failure which practically destroyed the head, however the bottom end survived (A quick polish of the crank and its good to go). After pulling the engine down last weekend some of the big end bearings STILL looked like they had just come out of the boxes. I will take some photo's when I get the chance. I would have loved to pull it down before the shitty pump failure. That engine was 7 years old with 32,000 Kms on it most of its life up around 400 RWKW with upto 2 bar shoved down its throat. However it wasn't revved past 8000 RPM all that much (But was driven hard). It also didnt breathe any oil into my catchcan.

After seeing that and hearing all these stories ranging from 'Your engine is going to die within 200 kms' to 'the oil will turn to jelly if left longer than a day in the sump', I won't be changing after its rebuilt!

300 V FTW!

Were you using the 300v chrono or competition ?..also what pump was it that failed .

i know of certain pump that have had nuts put through them, ate it up and spat it out it did....should have got one of those ones :rofl: bahahaha

I still except no responsibility :nyaanyaa:

LOL!

You proberbly saved the bottem end driving it like a nanna. Thanks mate. :cheers:

You should post this in the oil thread, guys seem to think how their car "feels" when they drive it is a better metric than oil analysis when comparing oils.

your fulla shit Rolls, nobody said it was a better than an oil analysis..all that was said is that some of us could notice a difference in the way the car drove with different types of oil..

Anyway, haven't you got a broken camshaft to fix :whistling:

So it wasnt u driving when it happened Paul? Maybe the nanna driving caused it.

Sorry to hear. When does ur new head arrive

LOL. That's why it broke.... it was being driven like a fairy! Thanks Joey :nyaanyaa:.

Not sure. It made it to HKS but the guy doing it wanted a bee's dick more out of somewhere..... so it went back to NAPREC. :( Sigh.

    • I did not go to GTR Festival. It's quite a long drive and the car wasn't dialed in yet. I also wanted to see how the racing portion went before going. From what I can tell the classes were not heads up, index, or bracket - just whoever has the quickest ET wins. Never heard of that sort of thing before and maybe some people like it but it's not my cup of tea. I don't suspect I'll go if that is how the racing is done. I did get the car out three times and had issues each time. Some were my error - haven't raced the car in over two years - and others were parts. Had trouble getting the clutch to slip correctly and remembering how it was set up in the Haltech. Broke some drivetrain parts as well that couldn't be fixed in a couple days to get back out. Season definitely didn't end the way I wanted but at least the bearings are still fine! Not a fleck of material in the filter. Really hoping next year is the year I can actually test this car properly. 
    • find it funny everyone claims different fuel chains, do different things with their fuel blah blah blah. We don't have that many fuel terminals in Australia. The fuel tanker trucks drive into the terminal, fill up, and drive directly to the service station and dump out. The majority of fuel you get, is coming out of the same terminals. The variation is actually at the individual service stations and how good their tanks are, as well as how much turn over they actually have. Older fuel stations, that haven't had their tanks replaced are going to end up with the worst fuel. Also a lot of older stations have shit design, and shit maintenance, and end up with more water absorption into the tank. This is when you then get a bad batch of fuel. Other shit things happen, like tanker drivers have a f**k up, and starting to unload the wrong compartment on their truck into the wrong tank. 
    • Yeah go with that one 
    • This one?? In other news: I cannot tell the difference between my red MX5 with the silver grey hard top......... and the Ferrari 599XX EVO, they might as well be twins, well.......apart from the big wang hanging off the back of the Ferrari...🤔🤣, without the wing they are identical
