Hey all

Just a bit of a mention, there is a dyno day going to be run at Wollongong Motorsport Centre

Details are:

WOLLONGONG MOTORSPORT CENTRE

units 2/3 195 five islands rd Cringila NSW 2502

Cost $50 for all members

4th Of February

9AM start to gather.

If you can PM me back if you're going to attend, then that would be great.

Thanks

Matt

Edit:

Follow the redline.

As you come around the bend coming close to the two sets of lights (Near the blue X) you NEED to be in the right hand lane, you will then have to turn right at the second set of lights, and drive in through the service station driveway (A pretty easy to get into driveway for a low car)

Please don't come screaming through the complex, as there will most likely be a fair few people and cars around.

Once into the service station, just keep driving across the concrete, and you'll find us at the end.

Just follow the red line.

Its $50 for 3 runs

Matt & I will need to know numbers so please let us know if you coming as we need to organise the bbq and drinks

Its being run in conjunction with our own forum and we thought we would extend the invite to other line owners :P

Attendees so far:

Matt (MBS206)

Myself (Fat33)

D_I_F

Lastlineofdefence (maybe)

Jas25T (Definite Maybe)

SCCS Attendees:

CPD

WMC

Chuck this in the events section.

Will readings of air/fuel be taken?

And we get a printout of highest power i take it?

Put me down as a maybe depending on work.

To answer your questions

Yes and yes

Ill update the list now - thanks :P

As J (Fat33) said, 3 power runs.

With printouts.

AFR taken, and IIRC you can also get one with boost on it instead of AFR.

If there's a low turnout, Jason may let us do more then 3 runs each. All depends on time, and the operator of the dyno also wants to go cruising afterwards.

It's worth coming if you'd like to meet some others with Skylines, have a chat with other car enthusiasts, and just to have abit of fun and see what the line can punch out.

I'm throwing mine on, and it's only running exhaust, filter, and boosted with lightweight flywheel...

It's all a bit of fun, and gives you a "~base" to start from for modding.

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
