Well... we went to go there... then Fenn got a phone call from this other guy and said lets go to Springwood maccas...

Then he rang back and said that the coppers where there (how unusual) So we turned back around and went to the city.. then the coppers followed.. so i decided to come hom eand get some sleep...

I said to Fenn, Doesn't Boostmeister come from Toowoomba.... and he said yeah...

How did you hear about it?

Maybe its gonna be the new car hang out...

Not the greatest spot in the world to have it seeming Police HQ is like a few hundred metres away!

There's an even better spot (IMO)

Just off the Logan Rd turn off on the Pacific Highway is a place called the Bris. Technology Park.

Directions:

Get off the Hwy @ the Logan Rd exit (North or southbound, doesn't matter). If you're coming from the north turn right @ the lights, south it's left.

Drive for about 30 seconds until you go past an import dealer (Autoforce, the theifing bast***s) and turn left straight after the dealer.

After that it's first right and you're in Bris Tech Park. The biggest carpark is all the way to the T intersection and turn right.

The carpark is about 1/3 the size of the broadwater but it'll still fit a couple of hundred cars easy.

If you're in the area, check it out and see what you think.

I am on a Yahoo Starlet group (They need some keeping in line lol)

They had about 6 starlets there last night and my friend wanted to go cause he has a starlet....

Its an awesome spot with good lighting and plenty of spots.

Yes the cops do cruise through about every 25minutes or so which I think is great as it keeps everyone under control, they are all fairly casual......I was standing in the middle of the road taking a photo and suddenly realised there was a car behind me, I turned around and it was the police, I gave him a smile and stepped aside and he cruised past without saying anything. the second thing I saw was the cops pull up next to a guy in his parked civic with big kit and crazy paint, the cop said nice car what is it the guys then started talking and laughing with the cops for about 10minutes? ITS ALL GOOD.

The main problem with most hang outs is the hoon/lout % of people who just fool around and cause trouble and this is why the cops get mad, if we can behave and have fun then there will not be a problem..

There is a huge grass area and a lake and stuff so there is plenty of room for people to stand around and talk etc.

Probably the best spot I have seen for ages.

What happened on Tuesday's Today tonight... i missed it

Oh they "Our 6week under cover work" blah blah blah

Basically they got some footage of some hoons and a few drags and a couple of idiots making statements like "if the cops set up road blocks I will just hi the Nos and look out etc.

As always it was a witch hunt, find a few wankers and spoil it for the rest.

Shit car cruising goes back to the early 50's, yes there will always be wanks who give the rest a bad name and will they ever stop it?

    • 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.
    • Literally looks like direct port nitrous haha
    • They are in fact just nozzles. They are there only to produce a spray pattern and limit flow. The injector itself is what I use to control flow to the 7x nozzles. My old system had no injector and only PWM the pump. This lead to a lot of inconsistencies, and poor atomization at low pressure when the pump was ramping up.
