Just posted a couple of pictures of my dashboard which I covered with carbon fibre if any body wants to see. Its in the 'miscelaneous' folder. Its not perfect...
Nick, the dashboard part wasn't too tricky, just had to release the dials from their mountings and keep them out the way and then stick the carbon fibre to the...
Is this nearly ready then?... only Joking its 90% complete now. Have a look at the angle of the engine in the engine bay, guess thats why the power bulge is...
Mark, You are correct the White/Black wire goes into the EFI loom and connects from the Coil negative to the ECU. To be a complete anorak, it actually connects...
I had 3 damaged pistons caused by oil entering the plenum via the breather system then igniting on piston's 6,7 & 8, the rear ones because the engine slopes...
I was out 2 weeks ago, on sunny saturday morning. Bloody cold, although heater seemed to produce heat, water temp didn't get over 80 degrees. Simon B...
Thats interesting you should say that, when I did my first track day at Brands I did a few laps and then came in and parked up. When I started it again it...
Sounds like it could well be the same ! I would imagine it was the left bank that was smoking. The best thing to do is run the breather pipe to a catch tank...
Ive seen a simply mod in the David Harcastle book on tuning the V8 to improve the oil return to the sump. From memory I think its futher down the engine, not...
Not too sure what you mean by 'the breather' pipe without looking at the engine, is there only one ? Haven't got a photo of your engine to hand have you ? I...
Simon, A couple photos just taken with my phone ! On the G33 the crankcase breather "C" normally, but not always, exits the left rocker cover at the front. It...
Ive checked the oil mod, and it involves drilling two holes in the block / timing cover area above the cam to allow oil to flow back past the timing chain to...
Apart from the drilling holes method, which as you say requires a certain amount of dismantling, another trick is to use an electric pump (windscreen washer...
As a matter of interest, the new cam sprocket set I've fitted has a larger keyway in it. It appears that oil flows past the keyway to lubricate the timing...
Thanks Keith, know what you mean now. I was going to add another breather on the other bank as I don't use the oil filler cap to top up with oil, didn't know...
Quite a few RV8 installations have breathers on both rocker covers. The problem is not pressure build up but purely the poor drain down of oil from the top of...
Hello everyone. I'm new to this so bear with me. I recently aquired a red G33 J146RTA, formerly Marcus Robsons if anyone knows it(1992 5000 miles). I am taking...
Dear Nick, Welcome! And good luck on your Le Mans trip - I've never made it and I don't think I can do this year either. Have you picked Marcus Robson's brains...
I agree with Glen, but the only point Id add is to split the fan wiring to spread the load. At present you have one relay and one fuse under the passanger...
We will be making out annual trip to Le Mans in the G33. Peter Smith ________________________________ From: blitzracing@......

I personally went for option 2, 2 15 amp fused relays activated by the original wiring, with separate power feeds. I wasn't bothered about the fans coming on...
Thanks everyone for all the tips. I can see that G33 ownership offers a raft of opportunity to improve things. I really need to do something about the handling...
Oh boy.....Some of this is due to basic errors in the cars suspension design, but it can be tweeked to become more acceptable. Skittishness at speed and...
Thanks for that Mark. I may well take you up on your offer, I don't feel qualified to look at/fiddle with suspension. Either way it would be good to meet up....
Nick Took my g33 to le mans last year and am going again this year. Last year was a hard drive as I was in convoy 911's and a ferrari 355. car went really...
Thanks Nick. I went last year with a small group. 911, Golf 4motion and our 'project car', a 1992 V8 Merc 500 Sel top spec saloon which we chopped the roof off...
Hi Nick My group will be going down on the friday, and is confirmed as 911 (993 wide body 2s), ferrai 355, caterham supersport, BMW 3 series of some sort...
