had a great time guys. i was at the back of the pack on the way up and it was a beautiful site to see so many lines. let's do it again soon. the weather is about to get better too so bring on the summer cruising.

Thanks to all for a great day out !!

I'll check out the video and if its any good I can make up some CDs, I'll let you know !

Can't wait for the next one.

yeah, i meant to talk to you about it but just forgot. sorry.

i was behind you and every bump you'd bottom out. looks like you broke a mount or something. i figured you could hear it inside the car.

did you get a vid of me & GTR 80Y just before we left?

Excellent day had by all I think... I sure had a great time...

A few things of note:

1. Thanks heaps to Shell for organising it and providing food for the masses.

2. Thanks heaps to NDR for bringing the hotplate and a photo of Monty.

3. Kangaroo Valley is VERY VERY VERY far away.

4. I'm dead tired.

5. I'm the first to put up photos from the day :P

sorry for Prank on the way home, me in the back with flickering

headlights jumpin all over the road and the bright blue lights from

Neil.

I think it's far when your driving by yourself..... Y did u leave early

Merli?

Yeah, sorry for not saying goodbye everyone...

Kabab and I were going to follow Shell back out to the Hume Hwy so we didn't get lost...

Suddenly she just up and left, so we had to quickly reverse, spin the cars around and chase after her!!!!

Ended up doing some crazy speeds along that windy, hilly road catching her :P Was good fun...

I thought everyone was leaving anyway... I wouldn't have wanted to leave any later, I has effectively no sleep last night, and I was dead tired... Probably why I was walking around like a zombie today :P hahahahaha...

Andrew. :uh-huh:

Hey Guys!!

XRSIST - i didn't notice, my tints are pretty dark.. i can hardly see anything out the back window.

thanks everyone, it was a good day. Shell, ndr - you guys rock.

Jen - thanks again for the books!!!!

um everyone else - thanks... for stuff... y'know...

Paul - you smell REALLY bad... but happy bday..

Ciao y'all.

well what a great day! i had so much fun! :P pfffft...3 hrs sleep the night before...who needs it?? LOL

thanks to everyone who brought food and drinks, we ended up with plenty to feed everyone, which was great. Thanks to the pyros for lighting the "bonfire" to keep us warm, and the chefs for cooking all the sausages and stuff. Neil, the champers...what can i say, u are a legend :) Thanks to those who brought the handhelds so we didn't end up all over the place.

Someone counted 22 Skylines and...1 Supra...so it was a fantastic turnout.

It's a pity the harlequin R33, and the silver R34 who met us Canberra ppl didn't come along for the cruise :D

Merli! i didn't just take off LOL! I told you and kabab I was leaving and then i had to wait for Prank to move his car before I could go! :P

thanks for organising it shell and thanks for the food :P

Eric thanks for coming to pick me up :P

Urmine, how could I kick your ass on your BDAY!.. seriously, it was great to meet you mate, you and GTRBOY made me laugh for 2 hours straight on the way home.. what a classic!

And sorry for the excess spit from marcin! LOL! (there was a spitting contest over the side of the dam incase people are getting worried!)

What an awesome day !!

Big thanks goes to Shell for getting it going, and Neil (NDR) for bringing the hot plate - other wise I would've died of starvation.

Met some great people on the day, it's just a shame I didn't get around to meet everyone.

It's a shame there was so much traffic on the twisties on the way back home ;) Those 25km/h corners are perfect little drifters :P:)

So whens the next one:burnout: :burnout: :jump: :jump:

    • 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.
