Did you hear on the radio this morning about the truck driver and his actions toward the drags in his street... he rammed two of the cars with his truck cos the cops were taking too long to come and stop the drags in his street. Last thing you need is a car out of control doing 180km+ through the front of your house.

Yeah it's on the Herald Sun too.

My take on this: "Waste the muthafarkas!!" - Samuel Jackson

:rofl:

Bugger that article - did anyone read the article on the Oz built Saker GT-R??

I want one!

Got Ugly?? meh... it's alright, looks like a tryhard ferrari f40

I prefer the JOSS http://www.joss.com.au/joss.html

Yeah but the Joss doesn't come standard with a MoTeC ecu and doesn't have a nice STi engine - where parts are readily available.

For less than $100K the SVS GT-R seems (on the surface) a pretty impressive package.

I feel sorry for that truck driver; he's being charged for what he did...stupid police for not getting there soon enough.

And so he should... the silly fux0r took the law into his own hands which he had no right to do and is just as much in the wrong as the guys who were street racing.

That factory area has been used for years to hold illegal drag meets. Interesting that the police called it "Operation Exclusive"... hehehe hmm... www.exclusive-auto.org

F40? Stop sniffing all that brake solvent:)  EB110 or a LeMans car perhaps.  :P  

It looks nice and racey to me:thumbsup:

LOL.. well its my opinion.. the front end looks like trying to copy the F40 look. In the same price range I'd prefer this Ultima GT-R :rofl: -

i dont feel sorry for him. because what was put on the news etc is utter bullshit. the guys were not street racing as it is a dirty road there. he deliberetly ramed them trying to get them into the creek. how do i know this? because the guys who were in the cars are my best friends. shows how the media like to exploit things. as for the drag racing in braeside. servs em right. shuld keep it to the drag strip

I feel sorry for that truck driver; he's being charged for what he did...stupid police for not getting there soon enough.

in my book the'yre all ****wits.. ****wits getting angry at other ****wits.. isn't life grand..

apparently he was drinking and they werent dragging?

if this is true, the people in the car should make a fuss about the media

anyways, the cops shouldve pulled the cars over as soon as they were dragging, not wait until the 4th,5th,6th drag so they could clock the highest speeds

i think jail time will straighten up along of "racers" on the streets

no one will learn until they've been scared straight

Yes that is very true. Glad you mentioned "members of other car clubs" in with that as well. I dont deny some of our members do participate in illegal drags, but there isnt to much we can do about that. Like with any club there will be a few bad apples.

Just that mentioning our club and even providing a link isnt very fair on the admins. I'm sure you didnt mean anything by it, but like all members should be about their club I am patriotic towards exclusive.

Thanks buddy (:

    • 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.
