Fee was under the car today checking out her damage from the SIDC trackday. The CV boot thats 'gone' was the OS inner. She ordered 2 outers from RB (half the price for a OE Nissan boot kit)... so thats a bit of a pain! She said it just looked like its popped off and not torn, so hopefully a nice clean up/re-grease and refit will see it hold 
RearDiff: She cleaned it up as it was pretty much splattered all over (inc the underside of the car/fuel tank). She'll try and see whats leaking! Plug, Shaft seals and cover seals.... If none show signs of leaking i'm putting it down to the diff top breather. Certainly seems that way with the way the oil looks to have been sprayed rather than drip..drip..drip as it isnt pishing out of the diff onto the garage floor (it may be empty mind :lol

checked over the diff, not leaking by the looks of it.
Changed the rear LSD oil with Silkolene BOA90LS.
What a pin in the tits the filler plug was No room to get a ratchet in... feckin rear steering rack :grr:
Ok....
then back onto the oil cooler...
1 question....
SR1/2----------------4-------1/2 BSP SEALING RING
What do they seal? i.e where do they go?
Between the remote filet/sandwhich plate? And block/take off?
Or somewhere else?
these...
its all done bar actually plumbing it in. All the hoses are made up bar the end of one! Missing a push on fitting grrr
Also a wee bit more weight reduction.... removed more of the AC system. Rad out, and fan thing. also trial fitted the headlight vent. OMG what a shit fit EBAY special! Dont buy!!!

parp...
Locking nuts 'removed' - sourced 4 OE nuts.
Oil Cooler finally plumbed in, and given a short test (not up to temp for sandwhich plate to open though)
Front bumper 'edited' for more cooling to oil cooler.
New light vent fitted. Much Much better fit, and had some mesh to stop and pigeons getting sucked in
Lowered the front suspension about 15mm (will raise the rear a touch tomorrow).
see height difference here

Oil Changed
Checked out the front brakes... the discs dont look to have deposits of pads from hot stops. The dont appear to have even wear from the pad though. The discs appreared to become warped halfway through the dreadnaught night, getting worse as time went by. Causes? I dont think i've run them too hot?! I try not to keep my foot on the brakes when hot etc. They were bedded in.
I have new DBA4000's on the way, but i'll remove the MU's and get them skimmed as a spare set.

New DBA 4000 slotted discs arrived today. Good service from RB Motorsport, next dat delivery. They look less gay than the mangled MU's, and have funky temp indicators on them. 3 different strips that changed colour at certain temps.
trying to work out what happened to the old ones as they are showing very little wear, and lasted about 4 trackdays There is only 1 spot which looks like the result of a hot pad being stuck on. Maybe i just didnt bed them in enough/get them through enough high enough heat cycles.
new ones on
gave the oil cooler a long test today in quite warm weather....
the plate seems to open around 65-70 which is lower than i though it would be (any ideas what is supposed to be set at?)
Overall oil temps whilst driving round town etc (reading diff's off std gauge before and after) are down by about 10deg. From just under 90, to just under 80, maybe more liek just over 70.
Out on the road with some spirited driving - from around 100-110 down to about 88-90.
Seems to be working well then. Will test it on track tomorrow night. Could only get about 4-5 laps in before the gauges was starting to go north of 110 on Monday eve

What setup does it have? 4 pot front / 2 pot rear like the later STi's? Or smaller?
Dont spend loads of moonay going for BIG kits. If you arent going to be hammering it around 90% of the time on track its over kill. A set of decent pads and discs will do wonders... and a general refurb/clean up of the calipers. New fluid and braided lines
