Mornington Peninsula/city Maccas Run Cruise - Friday Jan 15th


Recommended Posts

Hey guys,

The last peninsula based event we organized received a fair turnout, mainly of the tuner sort, with no police hassles at all.

Anyway, we are having another Peninsula meetup starting in Frankston.

Towerhill Maccas - 8pm meetup, for a 9pm start. If there is a big turnout like last time we will relocate from towerhill maccas to the carpark across the street (Dragon King Chinese Restaraunt)

Itinerary will be as follows:

Start: Towerhill Maccas

Dandy Maccas

Bell St Maccas

St.Kilda Maccas (via Chapel St)

CBD

and then work our way back down to Peninsula (or break-off to wherever people are coming from).

For those who want to eat...

Stop 1. Frozen coke

Stop 2. Meal

Stop 3. Dessert

Stop 4. Frozen coke #2

This has been advertised on www.melbautoscene.com.au as well as supra forums and vic cruise club unofficial events.

Confirmed Drivers:

Fred - Supra

Dom - R34

Gary - Soarer

Jonty - Crossfire

Kez- Supra + 1 more supra

Jezza boii- maybe

more pending confirmation.

C'mon SAU let's rep the skylines so its not a supra fest!

Any queries, just ask

Cheers

Sounds good, me and a mate in a S14 might be coming along

Me R33

Him S14.

ill speak to him tomorrow night we are boostin off somewhere on a commy car cruise! lol Skyline represent

Any more details, a rough idea of end time?

haha sounds good mate!

won't really know about end times just yet. I would assume some people will just leave when they are near their home but it will go late for sure. Especially with fred (supra) and gary (soarer)....the last time I went cruising with these guys we didn't go home until the sun came up

Im down for this,.might also get my friend to come. We both drive r33's.

And yes, please avoid chapel street, it does sometimes get blocked off by cops just doing roadworthy checks on cars and would ruin a cruise

You need a map to drive from one golden arch to the next?

Start: Towerhill Maccas

Dandy Maccas

Bell St Maccas

St.Kilda Maccas (via Chapel St)

:D

That is like the "tour of duty:defect edition"

Only 1 day to go until tour of duty:defect edition!

I've been told that some from other forums will want to avoid chapel too so if you have a car that you know will be easily defected if spotted on chapel you may want to join them.

Hoping for a decent import turnout so everybody come and make it a good night!

    • I had 3 counts over the last couple of weeks once where i got stranded at a jdm paint yard booking in some work. 2nd time was moving the car into the drive way for the inspection and the 3rd was during the inspection for the co2 leak test. Fix: 1st, car off for a hour and half disconnected battery 10mins 4th try car started 2nd, 5th try started 3rd, countless time starting disconnected battery dude was under the hood listening to the starting sequence fuel pump ect.   
    • 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.
