i second that! great job!

EDIT: i also want to point out how dissapointed i am, that i was 1 of only 2 stagea's at the cruise. poor show guys!!

Yea and I was 1 of only 2 V35s as well...disappointed but felt spesh at the same time ;)

All in all was a good day and good work to the exec team for pulling it off. But as another member has pointed out above and I think I speak for quite a few, it would definately be worth pushing this event forward a couple of months to avoid the extreme heat, maybe Sept or early Oct.

;) +1 for pushing the date forward.

Great day but as in most of the posts, the sun ruled the day. I would have liked to have met a few more people and looked at a few cars but felt so smashed by the heat the majority of my time was spent in the shade replenishing the fluids. Colder is better in every way. Car loves it, people love it = more mingling and viewing of cars.

I know you cannot control the weather and you put together a great event but earlier and cooler would give everyone more of a chance to enjoy the good work you have done. And, I bet you could expect a sizable increase in hardware with cooler weather.

Thanks for your efforts on an enjoyable day. :D

was a very good day and sorry to the cars who followed us off the highway and the 2 who headed back to brisbane with me and Aliesha cos she left her phone at aspley where she was taking the photos but we made good time and was only a little late after going back but atleast we had the final destination and took a shortcut ;)

Thanks to the Guys & Girls of the team you did an "A" grade job.

We had a top day out besides looking the colour of my car when we got home. Jack was a happy lad, he was holding the raffle tickets for us.

Bring on the next Cruise.

i second that! great job!

my right/driving arm is burnt to a crisp, sorta, quite painful lol

top day - warm but a great turn out of 31-35 series cars think there was 110 cars over all . the execs will have final numbers

congrats to CHOYDA (damo) for show and shine and winning the Garmin Nav.

the longest distance winner was from kingaroy and he won the radio/speaker package.

good to put names to a few more faces.

cya next year !

btw, what is that guy's name? I was only informed right at the very end after everyone had left that there was a guy from Kingaroy, I wanted to see if I knew him!!!

Was a fantastic day, beautiful weather. Kathryn and I had a absolute great time. Good work execs! Imagine tracking up, down and around those mountainy roads in the pouring rain... would have been interesting. Looking forward to see some pictures.

Also forgot to speak to you Anna, about membership. Guess I'll just do it the normal way.

Just shoot me a quick email [email protected] or PM ;)

A huge thanks to the organisers and fellow skyliners for such a great day! Even if a few of us did take the scenic route and arrived fashionably late at Mt Mee... :) Food was awesome and it was fantastic to catch up with everyone again!

So glad we left when we did! We had to stop off at Garden City for half an hour or so to put the skyline undercover, as we had heard there was hail down our way. But by the time we left we had a good run home with only a bit of heavy rain.

Once again thanks to everyone!

Oh damn I hope everyone's cars remained undamaged!

Thanks everyone for a great turn out, amazing day i'm so stoked with the turn out. We had planned to have it a bit earlier, but the exec team that you saw running the show yesterday only took over in September and it takes a bit of time to try and find a venue that will host 100+ cars as well as do all the scouting stuff, don't worry, we were hot too! :( We always strive to host them in different areas each year, and we're already working on finding appropriate place for next year so that we're organised nice and early :P

Awesome awesome awesome, I couldn't have been happier with the turnout, and as a whole, I must say that skyline owner's girlfriends are a rather attractive bunch. Oh and ofcourse the owners themselves :P

I had a lot of people asking questions yesterday bout various things, memberships, merchandise etc, if I failed to answer them fully I apologise, it was a rather busy day, feel free to PM any of us :(

It was great to meet those of you that i've only spoken to online before, we're already planning another cruise to be held VERY SHORTLY, which has a watering hole for SWIMMINGGGGGG! :P

Congrats all on a good say out ... bit hot but im glad my aircon works good

And i got home to the westside just before storm hit.

Was the Cefiro ok on way home? I passed it along lutwyche rd and then again at milton i think after i stopped with it bonnet up

I wished I could have stopped to check they were ok.

Hey, we made it home, coilpacks are dying i think. Once they cooled down they ran fine. (Well I hope that's what's wrong :) )

So I drove home yesterday totally oblivious to the fact that somewhere I must have popped the plastic pins that hold the plastic underbody tray on my R34 up and I'd be dragging it along for some time. No idea when that might have happened. Must have had my stereo up to loud because I didn't hear the noise until somebody pointed it out to me as I was driving up my driveway at home.

Anyways. I really liked this year's drive out. Was a nice view! I thought the venue was a good choice to. Thanks to the organisers

Hi all

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • 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.
