:down: I did say off topic shit will be deleted but I think I'll keep that comment.

Seriously guys, can we keep this thread clean?

Over policing doesn't work. Warn me if you like, but I don't agree with your 'pork chop' comment.

The more you tighten your grip, the more falls from between your fingers

-D

Ok then, so you would rather this thread fill up with useless shit? Fine by me, don't complain when someone disagrees with what you say or if you decide to report a post, I'll just ignore it, after all, over policing doesn't work

Cool. I think if you're going to tell people to ignore others, then perhaps you should start with SLED. After all, he replied, and he is a mod, is he not?

I don't care if people don't follow my opinion, and I've never reported anyone, so thats a moot point.

Back to business.

-D

hey all. good to see you had a good turn out! i had to work at 1 witch sucks... sat in the hospitality industry sucks :down:

roo, when i see you next ill swing a few 4 at u to contribute to your hard work!

as for the 'off topic stuff' sauSA doesnt need it... stear clear and we will be fine :D

great pics Vu and thanks for taking charge of the snags bud.....your cards look good to bud.

Good to catch up with Shane, Dave (writeoff) and the usual crew today also.

Ben & Luke.....take a deep breath fellas cause we're all on the same team.

LOL, I'm not sure if Dan was telling me to build a bridge or my little mate in Mannum......for his sake I hope it's the latter :down:

Wow, Dennis (Sir032) was there?!?! Haven't seen him in AGES!

Nice pics there Vu

Is Sir032 his forum name or just his number plate? Reuben asked me and I didn't know.

It was nice to meet a few more people from here and to finally see SLED's bike! There was mention of another Japan trip and cheap airfares... Martin & Shane.

Maybe an annual pilgrimage to Japan could be a SAUSA event?

Yeah, his forum name was Sir032 but I haven't seen him post on here in forever. Was wondering what happened to him first met him when he worked at Import Spares

In short Dennis has changed jobs, sold his house, met a girl, made a baby (20 weeks in), bought (I think) and new place and just started a new job a month ago. He was thinking of selling his GTR and buying a WRX but thankfully has decided to keep the GTR after all. Dennis said he has been peeking at SAU when he gets a quiet moment at work so I knew he was lurking around but I couldn't recall ever seeing him post before. Maybe with the new SAUSA he will be more of a regular.

Next weeks member profile will be on ....

Krishy, you're parking was so crap, it hid my Stag from being photographed :P

To all, thanks for your attendance, once again. I'm knee deep in a project which needs to be completed by Monday night and a second project by Tuesday night ... but will endeavour to get onto the bookeeping of the funds raised and memberships lodged early-mid this week. I will forward you all a copy of the spreadsheet as well as some minutes of the day by mid-late week. :)

I have also had a reply from Funkymonkey regarding getting an SAU SA Members only forum started this week. Once its up, I'll advise Funkymonkey (and/or Sled who reckons he can manage it) the names of paid members, and away we go!

Glad to meet you Dennis. That GTR of yours was certainly mint ... awesome car. Glad you're sticking with it. :)

And no need to apologise about ensuring us it has the 'go' to match the 'show' ;)

Visit more often mate.

Exhibit 4, which is presented below, features two motor vehicles. I do believe beyond reasonable doubt, that you are the owner one of the motor vehicles.

:P

Keep the SIR032 - make the young 'uns show some respect to their elders :)

And you're already showing the wisdom that comes with age by your advice. Keeping the Skyline community safer. :cool:

good turnout yesterday guys. Was very pleasing to see some of the older members there, good to see their support. This club is definitely going to happen boys and girls!

    • 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.
