nothing beats the noise of a straight pipe either :)

i dunno.. sometimes i hear "wahahwahasdasdasd" screamed out as i fly past by some ****s that don't realise you cant hear shit outside the car when you're going at high speed... so no idea what they were saying. i am sure it made them feel better.

once i "may have" lost traction coming out of a servo.. i think i know what the guy in the townhouse across the road was saying that time :D i did want to stop and make more noise ..shitboxes are the best fun for annoying people.

I waited until we got to about 60, then pinned it in second and left them standing. Hahahaha the look on their faces was priceless :)

Hahah good story revhead, as for waiting tilll 60.. f*** that, boot it from the word GO and really shit in their face. All this talk of tools in there V8's thinking they're "all that" is annoying. When you get the chance to race a V8 who thinks he's the shit... you do.. & you do it good, because most skylines are faster than any holden & these V8 tools need to be put in their place... No being nice let them thinking they have a chance, f*** that I'll be loosing traction in front of them wheelspining to 100...

Theres nothing wrong with a V8, just a dickhead thinking he's the shit coz he's driving one, "yeh im a hard c*** coz my SS looses traction in 1st from having too much power & your skyline is a slow peice of japcrap". If you have a fast V8, thats kool, i'd probably even want a drive, but thinking your HSV is better than my jap crap, you'll be put to shame 'like so many skyline drivers do to holdens'

Do i think im the shit coz i drive a skyline, no, I just love a good piece of fast efficient machinery, & i will put some1 in their place if they're ignorant enough to think a skyline is slow or shit.

Idiots, as if youd go that far out of your way to pay someone out for their pride and joy. I look at some cars and think man thats shit, but i dont actually say anything.

Tru that.

& that's my aggressive 2 cents...

Hehe yeah the sound of a V8 is nice, but its the ****slap behind the wheel who gives em a bad name. Once pulled up at a red light to a VY HSV Clubsport R8. He thought we was top shit revving his engine like a spastic. I just idled nicely giving him a "wtf" look. When the light turned green BOOM. Floored the **** outta it. He got up first of course (thanks turbo lag) but when my turbo kiked up to 17PSI i flew past him like a V8 was nothing. Waved back at him out of the window. He had nuffin else to say. Just shows how a 2.5Ltr Engine can shit over a 5.7 GEN III (Shittest engine) V8.

    • 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.
