Charity Car Cruise 30th Nov Official Breast Cancer Cruise


Recommended Posts

Have you got anything in writing from the authorities stating that no cars will be defected if they are part of your event? Some mates and I might be keen on going, but not if it turns into a full on defect station like some other events in the past.

Have you got anything in writing from the authorities stating that no cars will be defected if they are part of your event? Some mates and I might be keen on going, but not if it turns into a full on defect station like some other events in the past.

um i really dont think you would be able to get something like that....they aren't exactly going to say "yes we will let illegally modified vehicles drive on public roads because its for a good cause"

So I guess the organizer should change the event details then - I'd hate for people to bring their pride and joys to the event only to have their asses reamed.

I figured as much though, no such arrangement could possibly be reached as you are not putting on a stationary show - you are driving on a public road.

Gee... very encouraging... I guess if I come I should keep on cruising then.

Promogirlz Promotions has been working on getting this event right for months, it is planned and well thought out!

AS THE ORGANISER of this event - i expect all vehicles to be on their best behaviour, the local police have never given me any problems with my Skyline.

But obviously ppl need to be aware that it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone else as long as no one drives recklessly i dont see why there would be any issues as the Local Police and all organisations know all about it.

This is not Eastern Creek Dragway, I encourage you and your mates to come as this is going to be a FABULOUS DAY.

Off that subject and onto something else i have driven the route today to ensure that the road has no major damage etc

I would like to report that

a. There are no potholes the road has actually just been resealed recently

b. The Route is extremely scenic and beautiful :D)

c. It takes just over an hour for the round trip

Same as every other organised charity event that has happened lately.

The only time a charity event like this went bad was AFTER the event had finished...

A couple of years ago Hot4s arranged a cruise up to the Central Coast, and the cops set up a massive defect station at the Gosford turn-off. There was a big whinge about it on car forums, since the cops had said (or the organisers had said the cops had said) that they wouldn't be defecting people.

Of course, the idiots blocking off the F3 in the afternoon for rolling runs on the way home means it was probably pre-emptively deserved.

I was a definite maybe for this, but unfortunately it's on the same day as the V35 cruise. :D

I'll be there in spirit. If there's one thing I believe we should be taking care of in this world, its boobs.

Promogirlz Promotions and Models is holding a Car Cruise Charity Day “Cruise for Christine” on the 30th of November to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

The cruise for Breast Cancer Awareness is on Sunday the 30th of October 2008 and starting at The Mean Fiddler.

The cost is still $10 per car. Open to all makes and model cars, bikes etc.

If you are worried about going on the cruise you dont have to partake in it. You can come for the car show in the morning and after lunch.

Its about raising money for a good cause.

Regards

Promogirlz

no probs, just cos u mentioned 2 different dates in ur above post...do we have an idea on how many cars are attending?

We are expecting over 50 cars hoping for about 200 but as you know with these things - ppl decide in the morning, we are praying the weather will behave as well as this will obviously impact the turnout.

This Cruise is a little diff from other events so im hoping for a terrific turnout.

Promogirlz Promotions and Models is a new Company in the Northwest providing models for Hot 4's, Fusion Electronics, The Mean Fiddler, Unseen TV we have a Silver Nissan Skyline that we use to get from a - b and will also be interested in talking to ppl on the day about doing a track run in the new year.

If anyone wants any further info don't hesitate to ask.

    • 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.
