I was keeping an eye out for Doof. No wonder I didnt spot you.

I got a good suprise when I went to get my jacket out of the boot and realised I had left it in the Forester back at Penrith. Bbbbrrrrrrrrrr, cold :D

That's why you were in your car a lot of the time...

I think there were a few incidences when people didn't realise the car they were looking at had people sitting in it.

My mate was staying warm inside my car while I was out and about... at one point, one of the Envy girls was standing in front of my car but then turned around to adjust her clothing. My mate got a pretty good (unexpected view) ;)

HAHA lucky him lol.

Thanks for organizing the cruise, we had a bit of fun and it was good to be out and see so many nice cars on the day. Shame about the weather though .. I froze my ass off after "volunteering" my jacket to a silly girl that came in very light clothing .. luckily we still had a blanket to wrap ourselves in.

Note to self - bring extra warm clothing whenver going to the mountains next time, even if its sunny.

Photos are being doctored as I type. (Yay for CS3 Batch processing!)

I had an awesome day and it was a pleasure to be out again. :D

Special thanks to Pete (STYLN) for the shotgun seat and the steer on the way home, You bastard I want another Stagea now!!! LOL

Thanks to Tez & Co. for organising the event, Next time make sure the air temps are a touch warmer - I couldn't feel my hands after about 15mins lol.

Overall though it was an awesome day out. :D

no problems at all x! mate it was just great to have someone along for the ride and to introduce me a bit. Needless to say i was a lil nervous. Been a long time since ive been that excited to attend a cruise, and i must say despite the freezing cold temps at the mountain it was a top notch day!

I especially enjoyed the drive up the mountain and back. Via galston gorge was awesome btw!!! HAHAHAHA

Thanks to everyone that organised it and made it work!

cheers

pete ;)

great vid Takz ;) Sounded far worse from where we were standing but doesn't look like it was over the top at all

So umm who's coming to Wakefield on Saturday?? If I can get a helmet and brakes bled before then I might be signing up just to see what the car can do on the track!

MRGTR911,

Seriously just drop it. Andrew is having an opinion. Whether it is from a business perspective, or a personal perspective.

Personally i share the same view. Everyone was made aware at the drivers briefing, that we did not want any one driving like an idiot. Some people did. And us as organisers were not happy with this. Launching hard is fine. That wasn't the issue. People spinning the tyres and acting like idiots at the start tarnishes the whole cruise. What would've happened if the police showed? The entire thing would've been shut down. There would've been defects galore..and everyone would've had the sh*ts.

And i'm assuming by the way your arking up about it you were one of the people Andrew is talking about?

Hey im all sweet all i was saying was not to target certain people when realisticly everyone was doing it , His mates actually started it so everybody else just followed , just watch the video and see for yourself and im pretty sure launching hard isnt fine as you say ( i dont think cops would enjoy watching people doing hard launches as you say if fine )

anyways im over it , pics look good , Once again terry and Euge done well .....

pete :thumbsup:

If you still had Xmetal in your car on the way through the gorge I'm surprised he didn't make you pop in to say hi! :laugh: I live just up the road from the gorge!

thanks for all the comments about the vid i had to quickly edit it or you would just hear me say "HERE THEY COME" "HERE WE GO AGAIN' :laugh:

nice video takz

and thanks to Tai/Mr Cali for the pic of my car lol

i was the guy in the r33 who creamed his bar into pavement trying to park and anger quit it towards the cafe for lunch haha

also remember asking your friend about the specs of your new rears he just told me they were "megadish" haha

hope you dont mind me finding out the specs from the sticker on the rim?

straight out, best part was the 2 gtrs dumping it coming out :laugh:. so stop ur sulking and get the hell over it.

one more thing someone might like to clear up for me, and i mean no offence by this, but howww did that black gtr win BEST exterior. undoubtedly that silver gtr (FLYT34 plates), or that blue tommi kaira gtr and the white MINES gtr were ALOTTTT more appealing exterior wise.

all in all not a bad event :thumbsup:

    • 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.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
