I'll try to be there, at the moment I'm rostered on to work but I'm gunna try and get out of it lol.

If anyone from the western suburbs is interested in organising a pre meet to cruise to homebush in a group pm me. :verymad:.

Can meet you there at the destination if it's dry.

My car is being used as a wedding car the next day.

Cheers, Tez

PS It used to be 100km/hr along most of Springwood Rd from Agnes Banks > but now it's mostly 80. Really nice hillclimb > view at the top.

i have only just joined SkylinesAustralia but i would love to come along and meet some of you guys. i hav ejust become the owner of a 2001 R34 GT and live in western sydney (blacktown area)

Im hoping to make it out there that night, make my first debut with SAU, though I may have been seen by some guys while cruising with Sydney Car Scene or Rexnuts =P

I go wherever cars are cruising =D

Luke,, it'll be great if u could come.

Let me know if u want to meet up with me and afew other cars so we can cruise to homebush in a group.. I live in deanpark so we could possibly meet around woodcroft?

Eric this isn't an sau cruise altho sum sau members will be there, either way it should be a good night :)

johno I'll MSG ya tomorrow or sumthing... I'm thinking we should meet at the same spot as we did for the 21st gtr cruise?

Tench Reserve is a good pause spot as well as a start spot.

Look forward to seeing you up the top with the others Matty.

count me in, if the cars still running

was going to the sunday social cruise just passed, but something came up.

should be a good opportunity to meet some new people.

p.s. ill be the shy one not saying much

anyone coming from penrith way?

I'm from Penrith and might cruise on up.

I live up near castlereigh rd. Wouldn't mulgoa be easier? At that time the roads would be ok. need to find a spot along the way to meet or join the run.

i live in quakershill so meeting at woodcroft maccas is perfect. thanks for the warm welcome :P

Nice. Hope to see you there. Anyone is more than welcome to come meet us there and head down with us

Hey

With all the road works going on at Mulgoa Rd and all the traffic lights Im trying to stay away from the area...

You could meet us at Yarramundi Reserve and you will see us all go past...

When we are going up there I suggest every be on the best behaviour the cops do sit along that road at night doing speed checks...

    • 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.
