bahahah, i kno what u mean mate - i was pissing and moaning in the car just now to my gf about how ppl in perth have got there's and i hadn't got mine!!!

but i'm not worried....yet. i have never been witness to a group buy that has gone smoothly yet - its just the nature of the beast. hahah.

hating all the blokes who HAVE got theres tho....damnyouguys.

ppl should of got theirs by now.

i just walked into the post office last wk when they were returned to my po box and she weighed each of them up, printed out each of the things to put on them (stamp/paper things) and left the box behind the counter.

might go check to make sure shes sent each of them off.

Still noobless :), and damn it hurts :laugh:

F*ck oath it hurts. :) I have given up hope after so many days of racing home expecting a little present for my self and coming up empty handed day after day for nearly 3 weeks!!!

I swear, a retarded koala that is stoned out of its little head and missing all of its limbs could have delivered the f*cking thing to me quicker! :)

lmao :D

sorry, that cracked me up!!

returned to the post office yesterday arvo after work. 7 of them were still in the box behind the counter.

i went completely right off at the lady for not sending them. time after time, i stated to her that i had already paid the other lady (one that i went off at before walking out the back) for them to be sent off and that i left the box with her to put each of the stickers/stamps on herself and send each of them off.

the lady asked me to produce a receipt of each of them. i have the receipt with me today and will be returning to the post office this arvo after work to produce proof that i have paid for them to be sent. once this has been shown, she`ll send them all off and i will also be making a offical complaint to australia post for this lack of service that they've shown.

women in their late/mid 50's should not be responsible for sending off a amount of more then 5 or 10 packages at one time in my opinion.

i can say there was going to be no way i was goin to pay australia post yet again another fee in sending each of them off. i stated to her that australia post in the cbd already screwed me around once by not reminding me or telling me to sign the bottom of each package.

now to deal with this has just pissed me off even more with australia post.

if only there was a competitor within the postal market.

Trust me mate,

You couldnt be half as pissed as the 5 to 7 of us who are still waiting for them to f*cking arrive!!

everything i was going to say has already been said. If I knew it was going to be this much hassle, I would've gone into autobarn or wherever and bought the thing off them instead.

I do realise that most of the old women who work for australia post are rude, self-righteous, ignorant and totally incompetent. In my experience, if you want something done, you're better off talking to the manager/postmaster.

all i want is the goods i paid for, i don't think that is being unreasonable.

anyway, hopefully third time lucky.

ok, after showing the receipt to the lady last night, she printed out the stamps/sticker things that needed to be put onto the packages.

i put them on myself and i then took them away from the counter and put them into the red box myself.

the lady asked if i wanted to leave them behind the counter for them to be sent and i stated "after this episode, i dont think so".

simple fact is that i wont allow for aust post to put anythin behind the counter again for them to send off nor walk away again without knowin all stamps/stickers have been put on first.

after all that, i filled out a complaint form about the lady and also mailed that off to aust post head office here in brisbane.

    • This. As for your options - I suggest remote mounting the Nissan sensor further away on a length of steel tube. That tube to have a loop in it to handle vibration, etc etc. You will need to either put a tee and a bleed fitting near the sensor, or crack the fitting at the sensor to bleed it full of oil when you first set it up, otherwise you won't get the line filled. But this is a small problem. Just needs enough access to get it done.
    • The time is always correct. Only the date is wrong. It currently thinks it is January 19. Tomorrow it will say it is January 20. The date and time are ( should be ! ) retrieved from the GPS navigation system.
    • Buy yourself a set of easy outs. See if they will get a good bite in and unthread it.   Very very lucky the whole sender didn't let go while on the track and cost you a motor!
    • Well GTSBoy, prepare yourself further. I did a track day with 1/2 a day prep on Friday, inpromptu. The good news is that I got home, and didn't drive the car into a wall. Everything seemed mostly okay. The car was even a little faster than it was last time. I also got to get some good datalog data too. I also noticed a tiny bit of knock which was (luckily?) recorded. All I know is the knock sensors got recalibrated.... and are notorious for false knock. So I don't know if they are too sensitive, not sensitive enough... or some other third option. But I reduced timing anyway. It wasn't every pull through the session either. Think along the lines of -1 degree of timing for say, three instances while at the top of 4th in a 20 minute all-hot-lap session. Unfortunately at the end of session 2... I noticed a little oil. I borrowed some jack stands and a jack and took a look under there, but as is often the case, messing around with it kinda half cleaned it up, it was not conclusive where it was coming from. I decided to give it another go and see how it was. The amount of oil was maybe one/two small drops. I did another 20 minute session and car went well, and I was just starting to get into it and not be terrified of driving on track. I pulled over and checked in the pits and saw this: This is where I called it, packed up and went home as I live ~20 min from the track with a VERY VERY CLOSE EYE on Oil Pressure on the way home. The volume wasn't much but you never know. I checked it today when I had my own space/tools/time to find out what was going on, wanted to clean it up, run the car and see if any of the fittings from around the oil filter were causing it. I have like.. 5 fittings there, so I suspected one was (hopefully?) the culprit. It became immediately apparent as soon as I looked around more closely. 795d266d-a034-4b8c-89c9-d83860f5d00a.mp4       This is the R34 GTT oil sender connected via an adapter to an oil cooler block I have installed which runs AN lines to my cooler (and back). There's also an oil temp sensor on top.  Just after that video, I attempted to unthread the sensor to see if it's loose/worn and it disintegrated in my hand. So yes. I am glad I noticed that oil because it would appear that complete and utter catastrophic engine failure was about 1 second of engine runtime away. I did try to drill the fitting out, and only succeeded in drilling the middle hole much larger and now there's a... smooth hole in there with what looks like a damn sleeve still incredibly tight in there. Not really sure how to proceed from here. My options: 1) Find someone who can remove the stuck fitting, and use a steel adapter so it won't fatigue? (Female BSPT for the R34 sender to 1/8NPT male - HARD to find). IF it isn't possible to remove - Buy a new block ($320) and have someone tap a new 1/8NPT in the top of it ($????) and hope the steel adapter works better. 2) Buy a new block and give up on the OEM pressure sender for the dash entirely, and use the supplied 1/8 NPT for the oil temp sender. Having the oil pressure read 0 in the dash with the warning lamp will give me a lot of anxiety driving around. I do have the actual GM sensor/sender working, but it needs OBD2 as a gauge. If I'm datalogging I don't actually have a readout of what the gauge is currently displaying. 3) Other? Find a new location for the OEM sender? Though I don't know of anywhere that will work. I also don't know if a steel adapter is actually functionally smart here. It's clearly leveraged itself through vibration of the motor and snapped in half. This doesn't seem like a setup a smart person would replicate given the weight of the OEM sender. Still pretty happy being lucky for once and seeing this at the absolute last moment before bye bye motor in a big way, even if an adapter is apparently 6 weeks+ delivery and I have no way to free the current stuck/potentially destroyed threads in the current oil block.
