Thursday 24th of March, 2005 - Thursday Night Mystery Cruise


Recommended Posts

Thanx for organising that btw Cy...we didn't get to meet officially but had a chat near the end I was in the silver gts25t near the end just in front of the 3 silvias. Was a really good night, everyone was responsible about their driving etc and everyone I met seemed like good ppl.

Will definitely be coming to more cruises. If I can afford the petrol.

That is good fun, never been on that mountain....I used to go to the one called the Gap.....

Just got some question to ask everyone....what size tyre does everyone used and suspension.....coz it seem my car's tyre werent too big for Mountain (235 front and 265 rear)....I keep got overtaken by other Skyline :'(.....and also what gear was most of the people using in the mountain???I was keep going up and down in 3th and 4th.....

and last question, does anyone want to go to have a drive to the mountain(The GAP) I used to go.....it is pretty good track too....at the end of the mountain road, there is actually a long straight road(about 900m).........so if anyone interested, then I will organise one to there in next mth or so....

I was surprised, Will not running aroun and having flashes of light eminating from his general direction every couple of seconds was, wierd.

nah it wasnt cold enough for me to show my highbeams :rofl:

still not into taking pics at night in pitch black.

I'm going up Cunningham's Gap today :rofl:

Unfortunately my mother will be in the car with me hehe...

Also gotta watch for cops on the brissy side of the gap because they sit down the bottom of the hill with a speed camera and to stay within 60 you gotta ride the brake all the way to the bottom.

Nice bonnet btw Stephen :P And don't worry about being overtaken it's better to drive a bit slower than to drive too fast and get a lift home or worse

yeah had an awsome night, unfortunaley i got a speeding fine on the way back to brisbane :P wasnt doing anything stupid though just 118 on the motorway, got pulled over by one of those new blue highway patrol cars.

Hey stephen, you car was confussing me lol, is it a gts-t with all the gtr guards? and what engine is in it? Your car looks very hot :rofl:

Tyres, suspension and gear selection aren't your problem my friend......you just aren't running enought boost :rofl:

:kick:

was this in the 100 zone? or the 110 zone?

If it was the 110 zone i would be contesting that as you are not 'officially' speeding until you are doing 121kph (10% leeway allowed as per ADR's)

Negative, check the laws, 4kms over is the first break in QLD, 2kms over in NSW and Vic :cheers:

strutto, either prove me wrong or back me up, you'll know oh knower of all things ;)

AFAIK, what the police police, and what the ADR's require, are 2 completly different things... Farked up? Yes...

So, if your going 1km over the speed limit, then technically you can be fined... In reality though, this doesn't happen... My feeling is that Ben was in the 100 zone, and as silly as the whole issue is, being booked for 18 over is par for the course... If he was in the 110 zone, then I'd put it down to the Easter Blitz, double demerits, and those new blue cars we all paid for...

Yeah I saw you pulled over by that blue cop car. Very unlucky :rofl:

okay i will give u the story on bens speeding fine as i was in the passenger side seat. we was cruisin rnd the 110 - 120 mark and thinkin that it was still the 110 zone.but when we got pulled ova he said that it was 8km back was the start of the 100km Zone. got pulled ova and he said that he clocked us 3 times at speeds that i cant remember. he said that he clocked us first time from 300m away which i was like hmmm what the at nite time dont think so. but yer is the jist of it we had a time until those events happened

My car is a GTS-T with Full GTR body....I bought the car shell without the engine and chassis...then I put a RB25 into the shell.....so it can say it is a GTS-T or a Feak GTR....I just need to put the Bambo Break into the car, then no one will notice my car isnt a GTR.....Coz most of the people found out it is a GTS-T by the Break........

TwoQuik......er....I saw you were stopped near springwood MacDonla with that Police crap.....so how was it???Did he say anything bad to you???Sorry to say that , but I have to Thanks you....coz if I left earlier then you....I will be the one got caught,coz as you known...I got my D-Plate on my car.....so Thank You so so much.....

Hey Silver's R33...

Next time you going to the Gap.......give me a yell...I will come.....I am more used to the Gap...

Remember to call me next time man~~

Ok man, my mum wouldn't have been impressed though I think haha, she already said she wouldn't go up to my grandma's with me again in my car, and I wasn't even speeding (much). No more than the family-holiday commodores and magnas surrounding us anyway.

    • Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.
    • You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.
