my first thoughts when i saw the title was, rofl, but after reading, its just a lol.

Seems like a decent chance for some dodgy people to make an easy 20k. It really isnt hard to make quality fliers, even if your a dumbass drug dealer. It means the person who dropped the card can be very selective about who meets where, they could name 20 locations for 20 people with 2k cash each, and i doubt they take Visa. Not like if you got robbed you could go to the cops "yeah i was invited to this illegal organised street race for the chance to win 20k by dragging my illegal car down a public road, and i got mugged, help"

Sounds, as Troy said, more like an American cop tactic. Sapol has bigger shit to deal with.

It definately is Craig, stuff like that doesn't happen to you everyday. Shit, maybe this is for real? If the government can have secret underground bunkers at the RAAF base, well i assume anyway :blink:, then a bunch of kids with too much money can meet for 30 mins, win 20k, and be done with it.

This was the organiser of the last meet:

Went really well. Managed to Pink Slip this car:

Until this dick came along and raced me:

Along with his woman with the square face:

But it doesn't matter how you race your car, it's how you stand by your car:

In the end, I stood back, and watched these 2 race the quater mile:

But then this happened:

So now I'm stuck with this knob:

But, it can't be all that bad...

...Or can it?!?!

F************************ck!!

Realistic organised street race is:

Entry fee - one tank of fuel and a knob on ya forehead

Prize - speeding ticket, loss of licence, car impounded, butt of all jokes for the next month ... but you could always go to ns.com for sympathy and start a cop hating posse.

i sent an enquiry last night to test the reply....made it sound legit as im fairly high profile as well as the car...i also know Ben and Mark at Hypertune so told them to check my cred. with them.

still nothing.

Cronic, +10 points to Gryffindor!

The difference between this and the one on ns.com is we have the number, they never posted the number on NS. I think if anyone gets a txt reply immediately call them, since if its a real phone (and not computer generated) the owner will most probably have it turned on, so it'll ring, and hopefully answer.

But I have been warned about a mugging technique. Forgot if someone told me in person or it was on NS or here or where, but pretty much they put something on your wipers, you get in the car, start the engine/put phone and wallet down/etc then see the paper. so you then get out of the car and the scum jump from the bushes into your car while you're getting the paper and either steal your shit, bash you, steal your car, whatever. The paper is just something to take your attention and get you out of the car.

Having said that, I'm pretty sure I'd see some paper before I get in the car.

The trick was that the paper/letter would be stuck to the back window. So you'd be out the car at the rear of it, when the thief nicks it.

If you see any note attached to your car, deal with it later.

Or continue to walk past your car is if its not yours, but remove the note on the way thru, screw it up and toss it. Then see if anyone comes out of a hiding spot within the next minute or so.

If you actually read it, it doesn't state that its street racing. Who's to say they aren't hiring out Goolwa Air Strip and using it for drags? Been done quite a few times by Torana club - might be legitimate form of racing.....

but still a wankerish way to promote it.

Now theres a thought ...

Why don't we hire out an air strip for some drag racing? Cars and Bikes to make it economical.

I could check out whats involved with items like disclaimers and insurances etc. :P

Nothing is worth the paper its written on anymore. But I'm going to contact the CAMS office and find a bit more info. I might even start with Cafe Racers and mock up a form like theirs. I'll get my MA competitors log book out and find out more.

Once I know liability issues are sorted, then I'll see if we can 'borrow' an airstrip for a day. Client of ours has an airstrip down at Goolwa way ... see if I can invite him out to lunch for a chat. He'd wanna be assured we have insurance for the day, and not rely on him being liable.

    • 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.
