In association with Initial Drift we will be having a drift day on April 9 at Oran Park North, otherwise known as Driftland.

This event is open only to members of the SAU NSW Club. This is because you need a CAMS licence to play.

L2NS is all you need for this event, that costs $48. I suggest you get a L2S for $85 though so you can come to any of the L2S track days during the year. Each is valid for 12 months.

Cost will be $130 per person. This includes lunch.

Just waiting on confirmation as to whether we need fire extinguishers or not.

Members discussion here.

Non members can discuss those aspects of the event in this thread.

Entered so far:

Evil Weavil

Apollo S15

Wow didnt know Oran park was so close to home. If nothing comes up i will definately come as a spectator.

Don't think i am ready to enter these things yet. :laugh:

But will turn up with the camera and take some pics for sure.

Any more details on the day? like what you need..

I have a whole bunch of tyres but i think they are all on the legal limiters.

Any rules about your car like tyres and stuff .. I have never been to one of these yet.

Ill be a late entry if any whats the last date to pay.

You need long sleeves, helmet with Australian Standards 1698 approval, long pants, proper shoes, CAMS licence, blue triangle stuck to the car indicating the battery position (I have about 10 in my toolbox), battery clamp, nothing unsecured in cabin of car (and for some reason the boot too), no rules about tyres. Bring em, fry em.

This will be a first come first served basis and there are two clubs entering so leaving it last minute might not work out for you. They are ALWAYS booked out.

    • 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.
