Nissan Sports Car spectacular to be held at Qld Raceway (Willowbank) - July 8

Specialist car racing will have a new face when the first annual Time Attack Nissan Meeting hits Qld Raceway on Tuesday, July 8. Nissan Sports Car owners from around the Southeast will be pitted against each other in a race against the clock to determine who is Queensland's fastest Nissan driver.

Sponsored by NISMO, Motul Oil and BMC Air Filters, this promises to be a great event with side attractions including: demo cars, a dyno competition, motorkhana (race around the cones), a D.J. and a host of exciting giveaways.

In preparation for the event, NISMO representative and event coordinator Chika Sakane, said the event will showcase the great diversity that motorsports has in Queensland and provide a new forum to demonstrate the true strength of Nissan sports cars.

"Nissans are some of the most impressive sports cars in the market today but they are often limited to simply being daily drivers," said Ms Sakane. "This event gives Nissan drivers the opportunity to really blow the cobwebs out of their performance vehicles in a fun and safe environment."

Entrance to this great new event is absolutely FREE.

For Nissan owners, racing costs $110 but places are filling fast, so book now. Visit www.timeattack.com.au for details or ring Link International on (07) 3382 5000.

This was the best track day I have attended to date. total carnival atmosphere And a yard full of nissan performance cars made for the most fun I've had in ages.

skidpan, drift demo's, dyno, BBQ lunch, Display cars including the 35 gtr, Thrills and spills on a wet to semi dry track And a heap of drivers and spectators made a potpouri of sight and sound to be remembered.

Another evo bit the dust hard, straight in to the wall at some scarey speed. Driver went for treatment but he's fine. The car is a mess. I be thinking the evo boys rely too heavily on the electronic gadgetry for their own good. This year alone I have seen several of them come to grief.

To Paul Ruzic, The M&M's from signature performance. and Link international, Congratulations on a well concieved and well run and well attended event. I am already looking forward to the next one. :P:down:

edit: Russ was flying in the R35 GTR, those monster brakes in that heavy R35 outperformed all the performance R32, R33, R34 GTRs on track at the same time! Happy to see it out there in anger. Love the gearchanges on it, mental.

awesome!

any pics lol?

Thanks everyone who came out and supported the day. It went really well and we saw some great action on and off the track. Special thanks to Russ and Mark for bringing out their R35 GTR, the pit wall was chocked as it lapped the sprint track.

Signature Performance brought out their dyno and the competition was good, with a Twin Turbo V8 Supra taking top power for the day.

The SAU Club QLD fed the masses with the BBQ.

Thanks again to the sponsors, MOTUL, BMC AIR FILTERS, NISMO for making the event possible.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
