CRSKmD Posted October 8, 2016 Author Share Posted October 8, 2016 On the way back from the track day i thought the car felt a little less responsive and noticed it has making less peak boost. There was also a slightly different intake noise(although this could be due to having a helmet on all day getting used to the sound). none the less the next day i decided to do a boost leak test and a compression test to see if anything was drastically wrong there. Nothing from the boost leak test and the compression test returned even results as seen below. At this point i though putting it on the dyno to have it checked was a good idea. As you can see below the fuel pump was no longer keeping up and it had started to lean out in higher revs. (dotted lines from initial tune in January, Solid lines from the check up) I bought a new Bosch 044 pump and filter to replace the Walbro 255lph pump. replaced it in the car park then got it back on to the dyno. after tune touched up for new fuel pump compared to the initial tune in January. now makes 282kw video of the dyno run Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452522-r32-sedan-grip-and-drift-have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too-build/page/9/#findComment-7782020 Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3TFKD Posted October 12, 2016 Share Posted October 12, 2016 Awesome thread mate. Great to see builds still happening. I wanted to ask what you used to make the videos you had on the track with all the g-force stuff etc?

I use "Harry's LapTimer" there are various versions which allow control of multiple cameras for synced video and even data from driver input if car is compatible.

CRSKmD Posted December 2, 2016 Author Share Posted December 2, 2016 Fuel started leaking out of the top of my fuel tank when i filled it all the way. the culprit.. fuel tank seal. compare the pair Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452522-r32-sedan-grip-and-drift-have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too-build/page/9/#findComment-7795569 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRSKmD Posted January 12, 2017 Author Share Posted January 12, 2017 so after the most recent track day i noticed some oil coming from somewhere under the motor. traced it to the turbo oil drain.... so lucky there wasn't a fire with a split like this. Went down to Vulcan and had this stainless oil drain made up.

CRSKmD Posted April 13, 2017 Author Share Posted April 13, 2017 So my car sounded like a tractor and was even laggier than it had been before . so i went pre turbo exhaust size boost leak hunting. using a bit of vacuum hose and a funnel held up to my ear. i found it. this was the included MLS one that came with the Kando turbo. safe to say it did not like the boost. replaced it with a new permaseal MLS one and put it all back together. it is now much better to drive than i ever remember it being. so wondering if this gasket started to fail on the dyno...

CRSKmD Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 (edited) As some of you maybe have noticed in previous track video there was a constant beeping. This was the sound of my oil temp gauge hitting 120C after 2 laps. With a track day booked in it was time to fix that problem. now i wanted to mount it as far away from the ground as possible after some antics i have had at Tailem Bend. this is the kit i ended up with. A GReddy Trust GREX unit with in built thermostat as well as a Trust core. Here is the space i have to work with. I decided to move a few things plus massage a bit with friendly MR. Hammer to fit the core here. Test fitted the lines some may end up being shortened before the final fitting. As you can see, not heaps of room but its in and safe from being smashed on the ground. Plus my AC is still good to go Next up i needed to make some brackets. I found some steel bicycle pannier rack brackets which I modified to fit. The long slot allowed me some adjustment. Here are the brackets attached. Then came the bracket for the thermo filter block. I re purposed what I think was the crossover pipe bracket (?) not 100% sure on that have a shelf full of bits and bobs. and thats were I stopped with that for now. Need to order a few more fittings and modify the lines i have to suit. but until then i'm going to be rolling with my "fake" oil cooler kit. Maybe ill grab an 'interfooler' to match Edited September 10, 2017 by CRSKmD typo 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452522-r32-sedan-grip-and-drift-have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too-build/page/9/#findComment-7849054 Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRSKmD Posted October 15, 2017 Author Share Posted October 15, 2017 So with the oil cooler in and having just spectated at Mallala Matsuri. I made the last minute decision to head out to the September Drift Prac. Now the last time i have done any proper drifting would ahve been ~2013 at Tailem bend in one of Michelmore's "Drift Techniques" school days.... got some fresh tyres, at $55 each it seemed pointless to go for scrappies Went out with a mate in his onevia. Entered the novice group and got queued up. The first session was good spun a few times but started to get the hang of it Second session rolls around and.. Easy fix. blew off the cooler pipe behind the bar. fixed that and headed out for the next session. Now you know when people say "Don't drift the straight while you're learning" ? yeah well I got over confident coming out of the esses and drifted the straight. Made it about 1/2 way down going side to side when the car spun and I went backwards towards the wall.. and the wet grass. My dash cam captured the moment of impact and it looks like the suspension was loaded up and then released. I was at full lock on limiter when it unloaded and spun the car. shit happens. went back in and had a sit down for a few minutes then figured f**k it, the damage is done and i had paid for the whole night. I headed back out. The first lap out on the way to lining up i managed to collect a bird which ripped my GTR lip off. Yes that is bird goo. Yet f**k it attitude continued and I had a solid few sessions before close. On the last session i was hitting ~27psi boost came in and checked it out. The nipple for the gate had snapped off and was in the vacuum line Collected my Lip from the marshals. Then drove back home and stopped for an AB on O'Connell St with my mate Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/452522-r32-sedan-grip-and-drift-have-my-cake-and-eat-it-too-build/page/9/#findComment-7854376 Share on other sites More sharing options...
iruvyouskyrine Posted October 15, 2017 Share Posted October 15, 2017 That is very strange that the nipple clean snapped off! Sucks to see you take a hit with the car but saying f**k it and getting back out there is the best attitude to have! Were you happy with your driving?
