Update again, The exhaust got finished and this is the tip i ended up with, im pretty happy with it. Was going to be impossible to try and get the tips near the factory spot, i might end up deleted that exhaust cut out. Meanwhile, somewhere in picton remains half of my braket for my front left caliper! It broke and I lost all my brakes a few weeks ago. Since them ive been using some vt brakes for a cheap intrim. I have since spoke to RDA and they have been very helpful in finding out the cause for the failure. It has been put down to a freak one off incident and I have sorted it all out and got a replacement kit brand new. Right now im just running around with the VT's tho to get some K's before track day on the 2/5/12! This is where it happened, really lucky for it to happen here and not any sooner or later. Got the caliper off, fitted the wheel back up and off it went back home without me while I got some frustration out on the go karts! Later that week i got to pulling it apart and taking a look at the damage. And all the parts together that need replacing, well most of them. The current brakes im runing are a wreckers special, all parts came from commwreck including pads and discs Cars getting it final tune on friday, ordering a GoPro from america by the end of the week and then getting some slicks for the track. From then on ill get the new VE brakes back on before track day and hopfuly be out there having fun this time!
245rwkw Thanks. It was still a bit rich so theres room for improvment there, I wasnt running the O2 since dick disabled it when it stuffed up. Ill try for 250rwkw next time!
Made a pretty good number for a dirty 5L. Thanks for coming out to the day mate. Bet your probably still carrying your trophy around lol
Few pictures, I'll leave it to Mischa to tell the days events [video=youtube_share;whY7ZOY6mr0]http://youtu.be/whY7ZOY6mr0[/video]
Nope there not the same wheels, same type but a second set. Thanks sav! Wait tell the cars all perfect and ill get the decals on it to match the 1991 Bathurst Car Tell me about it! But what can I do, its the only spot it will fit on a VN with a stock fuel tank. Anyway apart from a issue with oil flooding the rockers and pissing out of them and the massive amount of body roll im very pleased with the car! I had to pit every 3 laps to drain the catch can, its only a very small one but still a problem there. Im unsure how to fix this, one option comes to mind of running the stock breather pipes back to the sump as overflow and a breather going to a catch can off the sump or timing case. Now who in this thread told me that there car sees constant high revs and they hardly get any oil in the catch can? lol Also split a pan hard rod bush towards the end that made the diff move around a whole lot and pinched the front right tyre and wrote it off coming into turn 2 at 190km/h. Most expensive lock up ive every had Eastern Creek Raceway - Best Lap 1:53.3 - Max Speed 216km/h - In a VN GoPro footage to come. Edit: Here is a photo pre track day with the buldge sitting on the bonnet just to get that look.
Think that was me Did you deburr and polish your heads and valley and make the galleries slightly larger? Helps massively with oil return to the sump. Mine constantly sees high revs and has never has that problem... but I am running a standard oil pump for exactly that reason you described Sent from my MB860 using Tapatalk 2
haha yeah. Im not sure but I don't think anything was done to the oil system at all, only thing would be the heads. That's why I wanted to have a setup with the drain backs like I posted back a bit. Ill have to do it before my next track day. One thing im glad of is atleast it wasn't still a PCV system
That go pro vid is cool, the vn sounds awesome.... Looks hot with the white rims and white letter's. congrats on the dyno day win. I thought i had seen this car before.
