sounds like a commy driver trying to convert to skylines

just cant let go off the chromies and shit yo

on the subject of commodore drivers, I spotted a f**kwit p-plater in a red vr nearly take my front end of this afternoon when the toss changed lanes in front of me without allowing enough room. When I beeped the horn at him and got a filthy look in his mirror it was apparent that even though I had to hit the brakes I was still in the wrong.....

I think I know the car your talking about, I parked next to it in the city, it has a number plate made up of a random series of numbers and letters?(I couldn't decipher it). The bar sticks out a long way forward, it has an ET exhaust and I think its auto. RIP

Got that attitude from a 4WD bitch last night. Using the size of her vehicle to manipulate people. Not me.

Liana vs Landcruiser :sweat:

spotted [RRS-400] on main northroad near parafield airport, grey 34 4 door on new 'S' plates near en field maccas, black 33 also on new 'S' plates turning off regency onto main north, and a silver 33 on the top level of wislons parking on hindley. all between 8 and 9:30 am.

spotted the same silver r33 on port rd that i always see in the morning......

spotted the purple r33 gtr "RH1" in the same spot on port rd

and a white r33 on salisbury hwy this arvo aswell

yesterday heard, then saw a silver stag boosting it up a hill near my place. saw some sort of silver rims, lowered and exhuast near port noarlunga.

then on the way to work, saw another silver stag with black rims, floor it around traffic onto lonsdale road.

today saw 3 stags, 2 silver and 1 wine red all looked pretty stock. one of the silver ones was a s2 the other 2 where s1's

saw them on brighton road around 4ish

only saw 2 33's and no 32's. are all the skylines defected or what?

white 33 with white wheels (with dish) on daws road today about 1pm,

went thru my worksite (the etsa truck parked off to the side) at respectable speed (thanks :sweat: )

looked a bit like aberax's 33, but couldnt tell from up there LOL

I did the speed limit, i just got there quicker then other cars. :)

    • 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.
