hun........ we were mindin our own business, cars were turned off, parked well inside the sectioned area, not annoying no1, people were enjoying themselves, crowds were liking the cars...

oh well its done and happened now. let the organisers do their thing. nothing any of us can do.

Is it illegal to stick your middle finger up at a police officer (without actually saying anything)? :D Just wondering.

few people got a bit loud at one point towards the police...... thats kinda when my mates grabbed me and said we're leavin lol

theres nothing wrong with trying.. we'll never know untill we try

true hun, sorry for sounding crabby about it. just after wat happened thurs nite, i mean...... ok im used to seeing the police as we drive out of autosalon, but having them come up2 us durin an event was just a bit too much. so im just a little pessimistic at the moment!

i wasnt even there n i'm pissed of lol..

but nah that was just too much i really think if afew forums got together and protested in a decent number we can make a slight difference

This is the reason I didn't go...although I thought the problems would be as people left the event.

The problem I see with what the police have done here is (although they might have been within their legal right to do it) to deter enthusiests going to organized events. Imagine if they decided to put this sort of presence at an organized drag night at a drag facility. People would not end up going to those and instead move more to the illegal street drags which the event is put on to prevent. I thought the idea of these organized events are to give enthusiests a legal outlet for something they are passionate about.

This is becoming beyond a joke, next thing you know, they'll be outside your house waiting for you..

No one was doing anything wrong.

Hmm yes they are, the new SE TMU cop shop is at the end of my street and boy those cop cars do no where near 50km/h down my street (This is even in their private vehicles BTW). :wave:

You try driving your car in fear that you just reverse on the street and will be pulled over by some smack tard with a chip on his shoulder. The reason our types of cars are targeted over rust buckets is plan and simple.......

The cops are scared that they won't be able to keep up with us end of story. :huh: Plus that cops will look at the car and go nice car, hmm drawn attention now better meet my quoter for the day!

It is BS my misses could be driving my car and the coppers won't even look twice, if I am driving it I get looks of contempt and being labeled a hoon when I am not.

I am car enthusist who takes pride in their car and hence the reason it has been off the road being re-sprayed for the past month. Till the heat seattles down from the young drop kicks who decieded to show their mates look I can do a burnout in a shit box VS commonwhore. We are all going to need to be carefull about how our cars are presented and make sure we meet the legal requirements. If we meet it them the coppers have nothing to pick on. (BTW That pevs a copper of more than actually have the satisfaction of giving you a defect) If you want to get even, make sure your cars are legal for the street.

but it is just that. boys will be boys. the current generation will most probably do it for a few months/years then they will grow out of it, but then the younger kids will start doing the same things.

i remember when i was younger that i did similar things and other boys did the same. i went back to my town and saw all the kids that were in year 5/6 when i was in year 9/10 doing similar things and going to similar haunts that i did. you cannot stop them, the only thing that can be done is providing them with legal and safe opportunities to be a hoon. which is cheap.

what did it cost the ppl at noble park maccas, nothing. so i dont think they will be willing to spend $120-200+ to go on a track 6 times a year. maybe a carpark every weekend for maybe $10-30 might just do it. but even then you will find kids that would rather hoon on the streets.

a prime example is drugs/alcohol/ciggies not allowed before 18, but how many ppl 17 and under drink? how many parents get ciggies/alcohol for their under 18 kids?

    • 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.
