I will suss it out with everyone who is willing to go for a cruise at the meet point.

Yup everyone is welcome to come :thumbsup:

Yo dawg

Sup biatch.

What are people's thought on cruising, pending on numbers. Would could keep it to just a meet and greet or go cruising after as well. Closest place to cruise to would probably be beach road and maybe to Arthurs seat if anyone can be bothered?

What actually goes on in a cruise? Is it all legal driving or... (feel free to pm me response) I haven't got my Skyline yet :(

Would love to come but i'd have to PT there if I couldn't borrow a car. Would there be anyone point going if I couldn't go on the cruise like what goes on at the 'meet' part and how long does that last? I guess even if I could borrow a car to get there would be no point because it would probably be a Peugeot :P

Hey mate, everyone is usually pretty well behaved on the cruises. We don't do burnouts and skidz :P

Meet point everyone just talks and socialises will go for an hour or so depending on numbers.

If anything there might be a free seat in my car for the cruise if you need it :thumbsup:

Might be able to meet you guys further on down the track, just found out I'll be finishing work earlier than I first thought :D

So Blah Blah, keep me in the loop mate ;)

And Jukic, I'll have a spare seat if ya need mate (Y) but only if you don't mind 300rwkw of RB goodness though hahaha :P

Edited by turbodragon

I'll run down to the shops for some adult diapers just in case, shall I? LOL!

I'm actually looking at a couple of cars with that kind of power but i've got no measure of what 300kw is so would be great to see!

Damn I hope I can borrow a car to get there tonight or it's 3 hours of buses from Balwyn North there and back :S

Hope to see you all tonight :D

I'll be finished at around 9-ish mate, so unless you guys plan on leaving Monash at 10-ish, I'll have to catch up with you guys along the way.

Haha yeah mate, you're welcome to pick my brains tonight about it and happy to take you for a drive mate, all good :)

    • 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.
