I know it was stupid to tap the brakes but I wasn't really thinking and they were pissing me off.

I'm going to call the cops every time I see them and hopefully they will get them. I'm pretty sure if they get pulled over the cops will find drugs and be able to defect them as well.

For those of you in the area it happened on Englorie Park Dr in Glen Alpine.

The cop I spoke to said to not leave my details when I call otherwise I will have to do a statement every time and then when they do get caught they won't know it was me because the police will be taking them to court or whatever.

If they do somehow find out it was me and anything happens to my car, I feel very very sorry for them because it won't be hard to track them down and make their life not worth living. Hopefully this won't have to happen though.

So what's the difference between them tailgating you, and you brake-checking them? None really. They're both instances of aggressive driving.

I don't really understand why you are gonna be reporting them to the cops everytime you see them, based on one incident..but each to their own.

They didn't just tailgate me, they swerved at me as they went past. I was only reacting to them, I wouldn't do it normally but they were being a dickhead. I'm going to report them every time I see them because I have never had someone drive so badly and try to run me off the road. Although with the way they drive they will end up dead sooner or later.

I hate to plug the New Zelander's but sometimes I really wish NSW had a scheme like this:

http://www.police.govt.nz/service/road/roadwatch.html

It says:

"The Community Roadwatch programme has been designed for use by New Zealand Police to advise the owner of a motor vehicle about the unsafe or risky driving behaviour you have observed and reported where you do not wish the offender to be prosecuted. The Police will regard your report as confidential; in accordance with the provisions of the law as it relates to privacy and disclosure of information.

If you wish the incident to be investigated with a view to charges being laid in Court you must lodge a formal complaint with your nearest police station."

Driving a skyline for many years in syd, it's rare to not have a drive where you don't encounter an idiot.

best of luck!

What's the difference?

They tried to run her off the road. That is the difference. Ever been run off the road raz0r$sharP? Ever had someone swerve their car at your Skyline on purpose? Ever been scared for you life...

Sure we all react differently to situations, some ppl can brush things off, some can't. I tend to think I keep cool about most things, and am comforted in the fact that generally what goes around comes around...But posts like yours do nothing but push buttons. The wrong ones.

      I neglected to respond to this previously. Get it up to 100 psi, and then you'll be OK.

      I agree with everything else, except (and I'm rethinking this as it wasn't setup how my brain first though) if the sensor is at the end of a hose which is how it has been recommended to isolate it from vibrations, then if that line had a small hole in, I could foresee potentially (not a fluid dynamic specialist) the ability for it to see a lower pressure at the sensor. But thinking through, said sensor was in the actual block, HOWEVER it was also the sensor itself that broke, so oil pressure may not have been fully reaching the sensor still. So I'm still in my same theory.   However, I 100% would be saying COOL THE OIL DOWN if it's at 125c. That would be an epic concern of mine.   Im now thinking as you did Brad that the knock detection is likely due to the bearings giving a bit more noise as pressure dropped away. Kinkstah, drop your oil, and get a sample of it (as you're draining it) and send it off for analysis.

      I myself AM TOTALLY UNPREPARED TO BELIEVE that the load is higher on the track than on the dyno. If it is not happening on the dyno, I cannot see it happening on the track. The difference you are seeing is because it is hot on the track, and I am pretty sure your tuner is not belting the crap out of it on teh dyno when it starts to get hot. The only way that being hot on the track can lead to real ping, that I can think of, is if you are getting more oil (from mist in the inlet tract, or going up past the oil control rings) reducing the effective octane rating of the fuel and causing ping that way. Yeah, nah. Look at this graph which I will helpfully show you zoomed back in. As an engineer, I look at the difference in viscocity at (in your case, 125°C) and say "they're all the same number". Even though those lines are not completely collapsed down onto each other, the oil grades you are talking about (40, 50 and 60) are teh top three lines (150, 220 and 320) and as far as I am concerned, there is not enough difference between them at that temperature to be meaningful. The viscosity of 60 at 125°C is teh same as 40 at 100°C. You should not operate it under high load at high temperature. That is purely because the only way they can achieve their emissions numbers is with thin-arse oil in it, so they have to tell you to put thin oil in it for the street. They know that no-one can drive the car & engine hard enough on the street to reach the operating regime that demands the actual correct oil that the engine needs on the track. And so they tell you to put that oil in for the track. Find a way to get more air into it, or, more likely, out of it. Or add a water spray for when it's hot. Or something.   As to the leak --- a small leak that cannot cause near catastrophic volume loss in a few seconds cannot cause a low pressure condition in the engine. If the leak is large enough to drop oil pressure, then you will only get one or two shots at it before the sump is drained.

      Help! Leak coming under transmission

      So..... it's going to be a heater hose or other coolant hose at the rear of the head/plenum. Or it's going to be one of the welch plugs on the back of the motor, which is a motor out thing to fix.

      The oil pressure sensor for logging, does it happen to be the one that was slowly breaking out of the oil block? If it is,I would be ignoring your logs. You had a leak at the sensor which would mean it can't read accurately. It's a small hole at the sensor, and you had a small hole just before it, meaning you could have lost significant pressure reading.   As for brakes, if it's just fluid getting old, you won't necessarily end up with air sitting in the line. Bleed a shit tonne of fluid through so you effectively replace it and go again. Oh and, pay close attention to the pressure gauge while on track!
