Me too :D

BTW - did any members want to buy any merchandise tonight? I can bring some with me if anyone wants to make a purchase.

I have some SAu Shirts, Lanyards, Beanies and Caps -- let me know. You'll need to bring the exact amounts as I won't have any change on me.

Please view the Price List for prices (refer sig)

not sure whether I got there or not. Just follow SMR33's instruction got on the way to Sunshine coast. went a long way, and plus the roadwork, finally got to a huge shoppingcentre, "westfield"? then turn in. drove around the carpark for 2 rounds, saw few skyline but not thing like gethering.......

Drove a long way and saw no one...... heartbroken........

I have no idea, only know that I drove a long way. If I kept going, will get onto the Sunshine coast highway....:P the shopping mall I have been to was a very Huge one, with a Big blue title on the wall(didn't read it, busy looking for skylines) and the westfield sign.

My gf kept complainning all the way back, sucks.......:)

hey, i just re read the thread, lol, i dont see it written that i was arranging the cruise, i simply suggested a location...

anyway,,,,,, I had a good time,, im sorry that i didnt plan anything special ( ok anything) but in the end turned out great..

And apart from myself getting lost in the city.

thanks for coming guys, it was great to meet up with you all,, i would like to do it again, but perhaps someone else besides me should arrange the events lol

once again thanks for showing up

Thanks for getting us to come man. Was a good turn out (I thought). I got to meet a whole bunch of new people, and Benjito's car being back on the road made it even better!

Getting lost in the city :lol: "where are you?" ~ "in the city!" ~ "where in the city?" ~ "milton maccas". Baaaaaaaaaaahahahaha!

Yeah good to meet a few more of the people on the forums.

Sorry to the cars that followed me through the city... I was heading home... I guess not everyone heard me when I said I'd pull off at the city.

So I've finally been convinced to become a financial member, I'll PM you SMR33.

Sorry RYN26...I should've been more specific and said the Toombul Shopping Centre...I'm not from the northside at all, so I didn't know the shopping centre was a Centro :P

On the upside it great to meet a few more people and to have a cruise and of course find some *lost* people :)

Benjito: the R31 is ANNNNGGGRRRRYYYY through the ICB -- you should be very proud :huh:

SMR33: nap, no worries! YOu'r so kind to give me a lead. It's just me who should get more familiar with all the places in Briz.

Glad to know you guys had a great time. Hope I can make it next time! I wonder is there any skyliners from St Lucia or TOowong? Coz I saw many skylines here. Maybe next time, I just try to follow them, CHeers:)

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
