i might come on this if some gold coast ppl want to meet somewhere closer/user friendly, as i barely know where im going around here. As for UHF's **Thinks back to noosa cruise** Cyrus: My fuels not gay Charly: The fuel gauge Cyrus: My fuels not gay Charly: THE FUEL GAUGE Cyrus:....ok you get the point.....all those who were on this cruise know what im talking about :rofl:

I think we've all learnt by now that Cryus should not be allowed to be in control of the UHF. At any time. Maybe he can start off by being in control of a small ball of some description, and progress from there when he's shown he can play with the ball without spamming constantly!@#!@$

looks like i wont be going  :wassup:

Pfft.. sif your one... :rofl:

As to bp coomera.. hrmm.. if we are meeting there I suggest a total of 10 min, everyone clear out.. I dont really want my car to be marked yet, if you get my drift. bp coomera brings back too many memories....... ie. the one where the DOT ute turned up..... :)

yatala bp or the aussie place is fine for me and 7:30 sounds good....... :/

:) Hahahaha that was a good day!

Agreed... I thought he was getting better but the xmas lights cruise brought all the bad memories flooding back...

I think the gold coast people need to decide on a meeting spot! Or I'll make one for you :rofl: Yatala Pies at 7:30 leaving at 7:45. There ya go, head up the freeway, take the gateway motorway exit, follow along until you get to the Wynnum Road exit. Turn left at the bottom onto Wynnum Road, follow along until you see a big shopping centre carpark on the left, turn left at the intersection with the BP and Red Rooster at opposite corners. Turn second left AFTER the first set of lights and that's the Bunnings carpark.  

There you go, all done. I might meet you's at Cannon Hill, depends on Andrew.

I mapped out an exact route and meeting times/places and you gold coast people still can't organise yourself. What's the difference between meeting in the yatala pies carpark rather than the bp carpark. I'd prefer the yatala pies carpark, less attention from prying eyes.

Stop saying other locations or you are going to confuse the **** out of people and there is going to be 3 main meeting points on the gold coast for people and no ones going to turn up cause everyone will go to a different spot and be there alone.

how long is the cruise gonna be?? am i likely to need multiple tanks of fuel?? if so i might be outties

This is not a cruise.

This is a meet and greet/ Photo opportunity.

We may trave somewhere, but it's not a "cruise".

looks like i wont be going  :wassup:

I said don't bring Skanks! :Pimp:

So technically you can come if you are a Skank and you drive yourself!

Just dont bring any with you. :P:(:)

This is a joke and is not meant to offend anyone, skank or otherwise.

ill see if my mate can come take some mega high res photos

see what happens...

probably have to storm carindale carpark if we do for adequate lighting

either way there will be video :)

btw, am i allowed to bring a mate whos got a hilux with rb20det in it?

depending if its on the road or not, and weather or not i can controll him :wassup:

he goes a little crazy sometimes :burnout:

    • 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.
