Please check the RSVP list to make sure you are on it, if you've said you're coming!!

Also check to make sure any guests you are bringing in your car are accounted for, so the correct amount of food and drinks can be catered!

Drinks probably being purchased will be Coke, Sprite, Fanta and Coke Zero....and LIFT for Daveo :D

Thanks,

Karen

I should be able to make this +1.

ok sounds good, Darrin meet you at the old toll gate heading towards chancellor park at 7:30, we can then head down together from there if you want

Can I tag along with you guys then?

Sorry guys i'm pulling out of this one...pretty much exhausted my front brake pads and tyres @ QR during track day after doing almost 30laps, and won't have my next set in on time.... :

the cruise i see is to bribie island, and why wold u go any other way to bribie island than straight up the hway. its a meet and greet, nothing else. good food, good company, and a friendly chat, withother owners, and check out there cars. seems pretty simple to me.

FILL UP TONIGHT!!!!!

Fuel is set to rise up to 136.9c/L today and tomorrow in time for the long weeknd.

www.motormouth.com.au for cheap fuel locations!!!!

too late it was already $1.45/premium up here on the way home, i filled up this morning for $1.32/premium. lucky me.... :)

anyway back on topic :laugh:

A few of us living at Morayfield and Caboolture will be doing a similar thing. We are planning to meet up at the BP Northbound and then wait for a phone call when the main group of cars will be driving through. I guess all we really need is some confirmation of times of when and where people will be?

There won't be any need for the main group to stop or anything, we can just tack on as they drive by. :D

will also be at Morayfield BP - White R33 GTR ORO33

Anyone else interested in meeting here ??? :D

Who wants to cook?

You will however be continuously told to hurry up, that you're not doing it right and that your cooking skills suck.

Hehehe you've just volunteered Mud ;)

Anyone got a "Kiss the Cook" apron or one with fake boobs that they can bring for Mud to wear ?? :(

    • 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.
