Hey Everyone!!!

Thanks so much for all your support, I truly appreciate it and so did Christine!!! FANTASTIC day was had by all.

This was my first event, very stressful but definitely rewarding!! as you could see how much effort was put in by the turnout we had on the day!

Ive just had a five day rest after three months of planning, promoting and organising, we are talking from 9am in the morning till 2am the next day at times!!! it was a full time job!

We are doing up a report this week to improve and learn for next year THATS RIGHT !!!NEXT YEAR!!!! we are really looking forward to it as we learned so much from this one and how we can ensure that people don't get lost etc and provide better directions as this seems to be a common problem on cruises.

Also we are getting people's opinion on a social event we will be holding to thank you all for your support, no money or donation just a get together and socialise/hang out.

We are thinking Prospect, BBQ and photoshoot day probably January or early Feb next year on another sunday.

Let me know what you guys think and if your interested???

Thanks :thumbsup:)

Yes you were meant to come back to the fiddler at 3pm for food etc we had a spot reserved.... the food was not provided though so you didnt miss out on too much you would have ended up buying your own lol.

GUYS i do apologise re Girls - we had a hell of alot of ppl let us down on the day.......... i dont think ppl realised how big it was going to be, not even my best friends thought it would be a good turn out, NO ONE had a clue how much time and effort was put in, but i do promise that next year will be bigger and better!!

If you want a Fusion Alien and you were the first fifty i have a few left just let me know so i can put it aside! :thumbsup: the next cruise i will bring a few with me anyway as i do keep to my word!

To all those who want to know who won best dressed car go to www.myspace.com/promogirlzpromotions

For all those who want to see the video go to www.promogirlz.com.au please be patient if you do not have broadband thankyou.

LOL that's pretty pathetic, he had bugger all done to his car by way of decoration. The stagea with custom vinyls or Jase's effort of buying a pink package for the black R34 were far more enthusiastic. Between that and the lack of organisation of this event, I shan't be attending anymore that promogirlz run. :)

    • 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.
