Well it's been ages since anyone's organised or done a Thursday night Skyline cruise and in saying that, we're due for one.

I've not yet taken the GT-R out for a run on a Thursday night and since I've not taken it out for a while, it's time to roll out the red carpet and make an appearance with it.

The night will start on the northside and make it's way to the southside of town.

Location 1

When: Thursday, 6th March. 2008

Time: 8PM

Where: DFO Carpark

From here, we'll make our way over to Mt Cootha Lookout...

Location 2

Time: 9PM

Where: Mt Cootha lookout (where you usually sit along the dirt gravel area looking at the city)

Then from here, we'll proceed over to riverside near south bank....

Location 3

Time: 10PM

Where: Riverside

After riverside... those that are up for a highway run heading south are welcome to join us in our journey to the Goldcoast...

Regular Thursday night cruises have been doing the Brisbane to Goldcoast run as Saturday nights are Goldcoast to Brisbane.

Post up those that are interested in attending this.

Bring out the skylines and lets make this a big Thursday night for the skylines for a change :thumbsup:

I'll have the camera with me of course and i'm sure others will take this chance to get a heap of photos with all the skylines lined up together :happy:

hate to put a downer on this mate but if u are meaning the DFO on airport drive i have been there with another club a while ago and it has been chained off apart from the staff parks and docks around the back but we were also warned last time we were there that it was federal land as it's all owned by the airport and u need written permission to be there otherwise it's a federal offence which is a bad thing... it wasn't the usual scare tactic either as i personally spoke to the security guard and he was very nice and just warned me for future reference

but other than that it sounds like a good idea to have a SAU thurs nite meeting and i will try and drop by but i'm usually at pinelands from 9:30 on...

Hope what i have said helps man :banana:

ok firstly sorry for being a party pooper again....but.... from my experiences with toombul the security there are instructed to call the cops immediately.....and make u move on.... they might have changed since i was last there tho

however... the sound of the later heading down the freeway which i assume would be maybe meeting up with the pinelands ppl... sounds really good man.... i'll do my best to be somewhere :laugh:

p.s. i'm not a killjoy i just have been cruising long enough to know the no-go places

I dont think that you will find toombool a bad place to go, since there is plenty of space. If we where to park in the carpark they can move you on just because you a stopped. I think toombul is a good meet spot. I am really lookin forward to meeting some of the members.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
