Subaru showed me no love this weekend as my rear diff or possibly the center diff exploded while I was warming up trying to break the motor in the best I could. Somewhere between 150-160 on the back straight I locked the brakes up cresting the hill (I brake at the bottom of the hill as the track crests and veers to the left). I've never had the brakes fully lock up like that so I believe this was a sign of things to come. I suspect I was having some sort of DCCD/diff issue which usually disables ABS. It was either this lap or the next when something broke entering "nascar" and I pulled off in fear I was dumping oil. Lucky for me my warm up laps were good enough to take the fastest overall time and the win in TTU.

We'll drain the fluid from both the diff and the trans to see what needs to come apart first.

As for the heads the car felt extremely fast for only running 20 psi but I really wish I had the chance to run it at 30 psi for at least of couple of laps to see what the car had in it.

Thanks,
Phil

Thats funny, cause I was reading it thinking the same thing!

[BrewPubeaver]

So......


where are we at as far as getting this beast back on the road?

[Neanderthal Racing]

the heads were supposed to get delivered to the machine shop last week, brew.

we're leaving the east shore of oahu for ny in a couple hours. eta into newark is 12noon tomorrow.

Bruce, here is a clip of Cobb's GTR running at PIR
R35 Nissan GTR 11.27 at 122 mph- Video

[Neanderthal Racing]

thanks, flyn! check out the negative histrionic postings by the vette guys on that link. i have never seen a group of enthusiasts so completely and universally threatened by a new entry. it's funny to watch.

we got back to ny from hawaii this afternoon on schedule.

i need another dd. my cuc-v (86' mil spec deisel blazer) looks like a rod gave way in the lower end but it actually sounds worse than that. little ricky is skydiving in montana until next week and won't be able to look into it until he gets back.

so, if we're keeping score - the motor vehicles are kicking my ass:

• cutn edg needed another motor and is down for at least another month
• the cuc-v probably needs a new motor
• the harley is in the shop with a valvetrain issue
• the gt-r is somewhere between japan and newburgh nissan

until something happens, i'm sharing the honda element with cavegirl. lucky me.

Awesome, Honda Element...



And Bruce, sorry to throw this in here, but you must see this...

Well at least you had a nice vacation in Hawaii but you had to come back to the reality and ultimately the unlucky streak you've been having with cars sometime eh Bruce. It should be over soon but until then have fun in the Element.

No idea, it was posted on a local forum here in Miami, FL

There's a white one here with gold volks, but it doesn't look at good as those BBS

[scby rex]

I dont think theres a better combo than GT-R and BBS LMs
