Many people do that, but not many people do that in the rain, or do burnouts in the rain, and then race in front of cops.....

yeah good point...u gotta be a tool to start with and no amount of sense, logic seems to deter a tool from being a tool.

I'd be interested to know which SAU member it was too.. there's not a huge number of R34 drivers in the club. At least I can say it wasn't me :happy: My car was in the workshop on a hoist last night.

i can confirm that. my car was on the hoist next to this 1! ;)

damn this is a massive post for 1 day!

ive got so much i could say but its all pretty much been said by other members.

being a member of a resuce team and seeing what happens AFTER somebody has lost control was the best wake up call i could ever experience. fair enough a little squirt on the go pedal is all good, but not 30+ on the limit. thats just plain stupidity. calder park is that side and sandown is this side ppls! id hate to rock up to a job 1 day and see a beautiful car with sau stickers wrapped around a tree...

and for the record, ive owned 3 cars. a VL 2 speeding tickets. a VS 1 speeding ticket and a GTR fine free! :)

the fastest car out of the lot and no fines!! gotta hand it to u buddy! We all have done stupid things, just thank god that we are still here. But I guess in a way this club does send a strong msg of taking it to the track if one needs to feel the need for speed....so keep up the good work SAU :)

Firstly let me just say, calder park is open every friday night, so do your f**king drag racing there!

Secondly, graeme( is that how you spell it?) i hope you were very heavy handed on this individual, it really make me angry to hear about this. I understand that you have done a lot of work in the force to build some sort of positive relationship between the club on the police, and to have this happen, and infront of your must piss you off. My only hope is that the work that you have done doesnt go back to square one, where you have officers telling your what a group of "Hoons" us skyline drivers are.

Dont give up on the club yet, some of us still have our heads screwed on and dont live life a quarter mile at a time between the lights.

Cheers Jarrod

Excellent, was sure something like that was in the Constitution

Ohhh - and I think the behaviour itself was ofcourse stupid - my initial post was more about club responsibilities in this case.

27. Misconduct:

31. Expulsion of Members:

I assure you Mr R34 GT-t driver.

You will hear from the Committee if you are a current paid member.

If not, remove the stickers from your car as your behaviour is not acceptable.

Cheers - Ash

its clear your a moron. you contradicted yourself in the space of 2 posts. lol(Quote ***JAR***)

It is clear you have a hard time understanding sarcasm. :)

In fact calling someone a moron almost seems like you have some major issues......read the thread properly and dont jump to conclusions.

Haha you and me both, I read the SE Suburbs R34 GT-T and I'm thinking.....I bet they think it was ME :)

Not like you can miss my car though, that and I have no battarazies :D

If people pay to become a member of SAuVIC, then go out of their way to make an ass of themself and endanger other peoples lives on the roads, and there are witnesses, shouldn't they be held acccountable for their actions?

Surely the committee has the right to revoke memberships based on such stupid behaviour?

Ultimately, it makes the club look bad when the next triple fatality clearly shows a SAu sticker visible on one of the windows of the near un-identifiable smashed up vehicle?

if you can come on here and honestly say you have never ever lost traction in the wet and have never ever exceeded the speed limit by 30 km'h then I will say hello to the pink elephants and the flying cops

EXACTLY!!!

Everyone flames one another for doing stupid shit on the road, but their can not be ONE PERSON who has never done anything stupid on the road. I mean if he didnt get caught then this wouldnt be such a big issue would it? Move on your all crying, same thing happens on other forums and its just stupid reading about it.

My 2 cents,

Almost every one here has been guilty of driving in an unsafe manner at one time or another.

This car club has a good reputation, and has a lower dickhead to real person ratio than most, i am a proud club member and think that this situation is unfortunate. This will happen again, lets hope not, boys WILL be boys.

Times have changed, we need to make a concerted effort to keep safe and smart on the roads and save it up for the track.

There are idiots everywhere, try not being one, I'm trying.......very trying.

Other forums aren't part of CAMS affiliated clubs that actually have a public reputation to uphold.

Did you even read the first post? You've missed the point completely.

    • 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.
