Oh and Andrew. Cheers for letting us know you can't make it. It's a shame you can't come but tis how life turns out for us all.

If i dont reply for a while im working tomoz from 4:30am to 12:30pm tomoz. Then off to a workshop to fix my dam car.

40 maps printed so far.

Brenton

it doesn't take all weekend to install a turbo...

install sat, fiddle around and finish sun morning then boost sunday arvo!

yeah but the big issue it won't be tuned - hardly good to take it 250km of thrashing with an untuned turbo ....

but it is not just turbo - try turbo, radiator, oil cooler, trans cooler, radiator breather, oil breather, fuel pump, fuel pressure regulator - and various other bits and pieces :kiss:

well im screwed........no permit, they wont let me have one i am extremely p1ssed off with this fact

can anyone perhaps lend me a trade plate??????

pm me or contact me on 0404873163 to let me know.........otherwise im gonna need a lift LOL

who wants a hitcher

Andrew,

There's no thrashing on the cruise. I can't so lol no one else will be.

G1. hit up Telly. Maybe he can lend it if u bring Gumnut.

I will be playing bush mechanic tomoz so hopefully all goes well.

Good to hear about the weather guys.

Very Excited.

replacing your brake pads with cuttle fish?

or are you just braking out the zip ties?

lol All of the above.

gotta put da tree up under the steering rack to slide around on the dirt brudda.

Nah fix this bloody misfire. I cant for the hell of me figure out why its only missing when i flatting it to the floor. If i put it down gently it wont miss.

we will get to do a bit of 'spirited' driving though the hills though won't we?

I was pulled over by a defect station they had out the front of Marion some time ago.

He pulled me over due to tint.. So.. I grabbed a corner and ripped it off.. No more tint unable to defect. :laugh:

Everything else looks and basically is stock.

lol well it didn't really go like that.

He said your tint is too dark and will earn you a defect. I said I can rip it off right now. He said " well if you can........."

I didn't say it in a smart arse manner, doing so would have got me know where.. well maybe some where 'regency'.

But saying that fingers crossed it would have earned me only a trip to the local cop shop as its not registered 40km/s out of the CBD for no reason. :laugh:

    • 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.
