Saturday Night 9th December Cruise to Broadwater Car Park and Spit

I've read threads about people wanting to go for a cruise tonight so I'd thought I'd organise a cruise for us to go on!

Meet Point: Springwood Crazy Clarks / Warehouse at 8pm (Carpark that faces the road)

Depart: Springwood Crazy Clarks at 8:40pm this also gives time for people who want to grab a feed from the Maccas.

Any questions? Call me 0433 63 95 97

See you's all there!

can i bum a lift from someone as I want to be with the skyline group ?

Doesn't have to be a skyline, just a good old cruise :action-smiley-069: ..although we do have a few skylines coming which is awesome

Over 450k's of cruising in the last 24 hours...... will pass on this one.

Hope you all have a good time and don't get into trouble!!

bah we should have collected all these keen people to come with us Dave!

Oh well we will have to wait till it is official!

Sorry about the late notice to the people that wanted to come :) It was just a last minute thing.

Thanks to everyone that came out last night, we had a great time. I actually posted this on BoostCruising and CrusingBrisbane because I thought we may not get too many people because most people only read it an hour or two before we had to meet.

But, I was wrong - we had about 10 Skylines there and also another group of people from BC and CB and there was about 15 of them at least but they got scared of the skylines and ran away :miner:

We ended up going to Broadwater Car Park first it was pretty packed there SMR33 said it's the biggest she's seen it in a while, I'd have to agree.

The 2minute shower knida scared everyone away from there though, but there was still heaps of people there.

After BWCP we ended up going and meeting up at a servo for drinks etc then we went on to Tweed Heads right up on the border which was really nice, had the moon shining on the water etc, was windy though but everyone had fun.

We got some photos taken my our professioanl photo dude :laugh: Thanks for that btw!

Then from there we went to Coomera BP had a feed and alot of us grabed a coffee to stay awake as it was about 1am by now.

Had alot of fun though, once again thanks everyone who was able to make it!

I'll try and organise something which is a bit more planned for anoter Saturday night, I'm sure a few of us would be keen, we'll just do another Skyline cruise.

Thanks Aron. Had fun last night. Was better after we lost the other clown that was tagging along. Did they end up ringing. Also could you PM me the details of the place that did your door trims. Thanks mate.

    • 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.
