Dam it! I thought I double checked it a couple of times.

Sorry mate a bit too late to change it now, not everyone will re-read this thread. There is an assumed 15 minute fuel/pit stop in there based on where people want to catch petrol.

It will actually only be 45 minutes and if people from Canberra are there we can leave early. Good time to grab a morning snack and take some pics of the cars assembling.

Eric . . . (where did Terry come from???)

No worries, I'm too excited anyway to be worried what time we meet up . . . I'll probably be there at 4am . .. :no:

See you at Yass on Friday . . . . .

Oh, was also going to tell you folks that MotiveDVD is covering the event. Andrew and crew will be driving down from Sydney and might be joining us on the convoy/film some of the trip down.

Is there a opt out button? lol..

Hi Terry:

Quick question re Yass meet-up time:

According to your estimated drive times below, assuming you leave Pheasants Nest on time at 7:30am you will easily get to Yass Caltex by 9:30am -

This means nearly an hour's wait for rendezous with Canberra crew, and Yass ain't that interesting.

Maybe a 9:30 or 9:45 meet time would be better?

Thank you for organising this cruise - really looking forward to it

Robert

LOL!!!!! I think Eric calculated the times driving his horse and cart.

stupid mother fracking mechanic only texted me at one am last night to tell me he is at a track day today so he wont be able to finish the car like he promised..hence picking it up tomorrow morning and having to STILL wait to get it tuned by this Toshi guy.

dont expect to be on the road till 5pm at the earliest...just in time for peak hour :domokun:

I know this kind of thing happens with mechanics but yeah really mad im missing the cruise down, will be heading out by the time you guys arrive, least i dont miss the track day i guess..

We'll be meeting you at Pheasants nest so we can film the road trip for the DVD.

Unfortunately our GTR isn't back together yet due to work being crazy busy :( But will be an awesome weekend :)

I'd be giving your mechanic an earfull

same thing happened to me this weekend... supposed to drop the car off on Monday, and on Sunday night the mechanic who was supposed to be working on it said he may not have time to fix the car this week, but i should bring it around just incase... haha. oh well! Got it sorted!

at least yours gave you some warning that it might not get done, mine was 100% that it would be finished by today..i dont like to flame him as he has good rates and works with imports a lot but was pretty upset to not be able to get down with the convoy and boogie boogie.

also the text stated he 'may finish it tomorrow' ie i might not even have time to get it tuned..if have the turbo instal finished at all. Its already half in so not like i can just drive off and leave it till next week. Aaaagh! hopefully i get sorted out on the price..

Im sure the Motive guys got some good film on the way down. It was good to see them cruizin up/down from the back of the pack to the front.

It would have been good to have pre_organised a fly by at speed.

Although Drew was moving at a great rate of knots a few times.

A few oh shit moments were had. Skippy was oh so lucky Shell didn't clean it up and some nice evasive action taken by Drew not to clean her up.

I hope everybody that decided to convoy down had a good time. I know I did! It was so great seeing the skylines all running along. Hecktic fast 'n furious bro (like the truckies said, lol).

And I have to add that the schedule (albiet conservative timing) worked out great and we ran to the schedule almost exactly :nyaanyaa:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      So I actually had the cover off my car today, here is a (bad) pic of the setup. I have an oil cooler thermostat block, the temp sender is straight in there. The pressure sender has a short AN line to a T piece which is mounted (hopefully cable tied counts as mounted....) on the chassis. BTW every fitting you could ever imagine exists....just depends what they cost and how many you need. Raceworx AN adapters are here: https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/, I think you said you need BSPT to AN (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/bsp/tapered/an-to-bspt-adapters/) and AN to NPT (https://raceworks.com.au/fittings/adapters/npt/) BTW, braided line is super simple to make. It looks intimidating, is not.

      I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?

      Anyone running the VQ37VHR with forced induction?

      I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
