well said xXx

i think who ever organized all that fog up in the hills needs a pat on the back, great effects ........HAHAHHAHHA

playa_32 get your car bak on the road bro hahahah and good timing on puttng your roof bak on the supra!

amount of people does necessarily equal amount of cars, Dan told me 350 maps were printed ?

I sold off a pile with my girlfriend, as the last 2 went there were still a load more guys wanting a copy but Im sure enough people got a map so all the cars could join in or follow :)

congrats dan and the rest of the commitee on a great cruise. i was so blown away on how many cars there was. first skyline cruise and have only ever been on a silvia cruise and that was at city west and bearly half filled the outside car park. is good to hear that some good dollars where made for the starlight foundation. and only got pulled over once and that was for doing nothing other then driving luckily notihng came of it

cant wait for next time. will see u all there

Does anyone know who owned the pearl white stagea with QLD plates?

if so can they send me a PM.. looks almost identical to the car we are going to get, and just wanted to know a few more things about it.

thanks to Dan for organising the cruise! Look forward to hearing the estimate of how many cars were there and a final amount of $$ we raised.

Massive numbers - great cruise... Was a bit hectic but it always will with that amount of cars.

We got some awesome cars here!!!

GTRZILR - im jealous, id kill for that dude... So devo i aint got $80K to blow lol.

Well done to all who organised the cruise. I was tryin to find some raffle tickets and by the time i found the dude sellin em at freo meet point, i had left my money in my ute in the bottom carpark... Ohwell - nextime.

    • 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.
