till it gets fixed

Yee har

Payment made and fax tomorrow. Looking forward to it.

What are the accom details? Anyone bringing a guitar, or squeese box? Not taht I can play but isn't that the sort of things you do in Shepparton?

^ you a brighton boy? you driving up sat morning, or you doing the friday night stay? i'm sandringham, but not staying any nights, so looking to see who's in the area to cruise up there

faxed and paid woot :(

from bentleigh area, i think i already have two cars in for the cruise up there, if he can actually get work off, but we usually meet at shell servo on the corner of warrigal rd and dandenong road at like 4:30 - 5 and cruise up (this time allows for a stop or two, and means you can take it easy and not worry about point to point cameras along the freeway.) so if you dont find anyone else, or what to tag along let us know.

oh so that's what they are, point to point? so if you cover the distance between the 2 camera's too quickly, they determine you're speeding?

saw some fixed ones on the way back from hotham, and swore that if they were working i'd have been nabbed for like +5k's over, so just assumed either my speedo was out, or they didn't actually work and were just deterrents?

Mate you need to contact me ASAP if you want to stay for the weekend.

Will PM you my mobile number.

they aren't point to point cameras, just normal ones... unless they have put them in since last time I went to Shep

I think at last count there were 5 on the way up... maybe 6 can't quite remember

maybe i am wrong, but the reason i thought this was because as you drive past you can see it taking a photo of EVERYONE, even if you're not speeding, saw this because i was at the back of a 15-20 pack of 300ZXs and where there were slightly bigger gaps inbetween the cars, you could see the camera stop taking photos. interesting either way.

Yeah I head up the Hume at least once a month.

these cameras are averaging cameras.

so a time stamp each time you go through one and they can work out your average speed:

as per:

camera link

so yeah take it easy.

Also just b4 the shepp turn off..like 1 km away is a new spot the cops love as it after the averaging cameras are finished with..

One more reason to keep the speed for the track.

oh if any of you guys want those $10 fire extinguishers, let me know and I can pick them up for you.. preferably all in ONE go.. :)

Damn, just picked up 4 of them, could have saved me a good long drive to get them :)

Its actually a clothes shop that's selling them just out of Thomastown, metal brackets and all, unlike the Supercheap plastic bracket versions for $30 :banana:

    • 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.
