ok my thoughts are now $5 eats and drinks all day till everything is eaten and drunken

dont worry about drinks salad but i may get you to get 3-4 bags of ice,

and whos comming from north, south, east, west try to organise little cruises upto there like me and Heslo can travel together

im also thinking mixture of chille, beef and maybe one other flavour of sausage :down:

Yep, that's fine with me, I'm coming from North East, just off Gorge Rd.

If anyone's real keen, we could even meet at the Caltex on Port Wakefield Rd and all head down in one group? Just an idea anyway.

This is a great idea, shame its such short notice though i would of definately been keen to take my car out on the track...

Will you be doing something like this again in the near future?? If so im definately keen

Ill definately come out to watch. Im trying to track down a helmet big enough to fit my head :laughing-smiley-014:. If mister tax man gives back the money that he owes me soon i might be able to hit the track.

There isnt a motorkhana or hill climb coming up soon is there ;)

I forgot to say that im from Golden Grove and am always up for a mini cruise down there

OK, I'll get onto it now.

Also, I would be driving, but engine building doesn't isn't kind to me :( Giving the engine another crack this weekend, and if it works, I'll have 1 week to get it tuned, space my front swaybar down and fix my brakes... And then hope to god nothing lets go at Mallala... Wishful thinking ;)

MikeyGTRMike: I plan trying to organize another one probably in January as there are no other dates scheduled for circuit practice days for the rest of the year that I can attend. May also try and organize the same thing for a motorkhana or a drift day if anyone else is keen on those two ideas. I dont think the drift day one would work that well, but motorkhana might be a go'er. Cheap too, $25 to drive! ;)

Next one will have much more notice before the event :P

Edited by salad

It's just a normal practice day held by Mallala, so just rock up and drive through the gates >_<

Will have to bring a little bit of money for the BBQ, I've just send Madaz a PM asking how much he'll need, so I'll post up and put it in the original post when I find out :)

Also, everyone check the original post to see if you're down for coming or not. If not, give me a yell and I'll chuck your name in there :)

ill probly end up coming up for a watch, would be keen to drive but have begun pulling things apart on the car as have almost 2 months now till next drift prac, so bit of time to play round.

But yeah, definately keen to come watch, unless Flick wants to let me take her car 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.
