I dissapear for a bit and now fatz is f**king moby dick, and talking about making shit reliable.

The times, they are a changing

Least Neil still looks like he should be on the grid of the 1976 James Hardie 1000

well wakefield six hour done

car ran well, usual story of filling the catch can over 6k rpm so that was the rev limit for the day

oil cooler worked a treat with oil temps only getting to 105 degrees

rsr rubber is mega shit

was putting around in the 10.5 range and braking very early, changed the pads and bled the brakes and straight down to 1.09 flat and the was at high 1.08 on sunday

quite happy with that id like a low 1.08 before i put decent rubber on

too 200 litres of e85 down and really probably needed 50 more for the day ( did about 100 laps over the two days)

team fat skylines came third last but we all had a ball

pics time

welllllll!

so i did a cold compression test last night

150,150,150,140,128,150

i will do a hot compression test as well over the weekend

looks like i may have found my excessive blow bye issue

turns out that a 16 year old engine doesnt like thrashing over the last 4 track days

so what am i to do? ( epic 4 year build thread like most people here?, normal skyline owners would put it up for sale and not mention it to the poor new owner)

me ill add a extra catch can and some mines baffels and take her back to the track

i must say i was hoping this thread would go for years prior to unwrapping teh backup motor, but it look like that will be happening sooner, mind you ill back the revs off and boost off and it could go for a another year( touch wood)

Inspired by your research the other day I ended up getting one of these... http://turbowerx.com/Scavenge_Pumps/page1/page1.html

I'll let you know how it goes, going to run it from my catch can around the back of the block and into rear turbo drain. Switch it on about 5000rpm or so. I'll let you know how it goes :)

Wonder why you have fooked the motor? Were you always running E85 or were you using 98RON?

98 for three track day( running average)

E85 for the last one (running very well)

Will be interesting at the next track day to see if the catch can mods work.

I think the only way to keep this pos running well would be to run the oil scavenge as well as the upgraded catch can setup( at its current compression situation)

    • Hi soviet_merlin, We appreciate your concern regarding this possibly being some sort of PR/Political hype, I assure you that is not the case, I wish we could claim something like that, but in this case, we merely reached out for comment on the basis of the outrage we too felt, as those heavily in the automotive industry. Ps. the original source in the social media post is CarExpert not CarExplore.    Best, CE.
    • Made a bit of a discovery, but while I was cruising, I randomly decided to test to see if it worked and it showed up on my IC7. The entire time I tested it before, I never thought to turn the ignition on. I only tested it with head lights turned on but with the ignition off. Huge oversight on my end. I’m a dummy. I know. 
    • G'day all, I have drilled and tapped the hole for the relocation of the timing belt tensioner. That was straight forward. I'm unsure if I need to also put another hole for the smaller stud that the spring behind the tensioner catches on (this is how it seems to work in its original spot). Or do you not use the spring behind it and just torque it down? Thanks in advance, I did a search but couldn't find anything related and it doesn't mention it in the rb30det sau guide.
    • Hi All,  just thought I would provide an update as I know smooth (Matt) was on this forum from 2003.    my brother Matthew passed away end of may 2024 at the age of 41 from liver failure. I am not sure how many of his original team krazy friends are still on here or active but thought it reasonable to let the forum know.    if you have any photos or pictures it would be great if you could share them.    it took me a while to work out he was active on here.    thanks so much
