Well I realised today when looking at the dates for Classic Adelaide this year, I'm going to miss it as I'll be interstate for work :)

BUT to relieve my anger, I thought I would plan a "SAU Classic Cruise". Basically I intend to take the cruise on a few of the sections the Classic Adelaide route so we can all experience the drive (all be it at the speed limit and in 1 lane) that gets such great coverage world wide.

It will be a Sunday Afternoon cruise, so we won't be covering a lot of the course (as it runs over 4 days) but will cover some of my favourite sections. So details are:

Sunday December 9

Meet: 12:30 for 1:00pm departure

Location : Meet near the city (PM to be sent 1 week before)

Directions will be available for d/l when PM's go out.

Register your interest here. Im trying to give plenty of notice so we can get a great turnout like the last cruise to the Murray.

Also note, I realise this is the same day as drift practice, but this can't be helped.

Cheers

Lee

^Dan its not that funny when you think that the R32 skyline qualifies now under the present regulations (late classic)

1 Historic - for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1900, and prior to December 31st 1946

Category 1 – 1/1/1900 to 31/12/1946

2 Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1947, and prior to December 31st 1971

Category 2 – 1/1/1947 to 31/12/1961

Category 3 - 1/1/1962 to 31/12/1965

Category 4 – 1/1/1966 to 31/12/1971

3 Late Classic – for vehicles manufactured after January 1st 1972 and prior to December31st 1990.

Category 5 – 1/1/1972 to 31/12/1976

Category 6 - 1/1/1977 to 31/12/1981

Category 7 - 1/1/1982 to 31/12/1990

:wave:

Pity GTR's aren't eligible though:

301.2 Eligible Vehicle Type

The event is for vehicles manufactured prior to 1 January 1991, with the exception of turbocharged all wheel

drive (AWD) vehicles manufactured post-1981 and “prototype” vehicles regardless of the year of

manufacture. These excluded vehicles do not comply with the “spirit” of the Event and enquiries should be

directed to the Chief Scrutineer for clarification if required.

These technical regulations only permit normally aspirated 2WD cars to be modified to M3; Targa Tasmania

permits turbocharged 2WD to be modified to M3, but this is not permitted in the Aeromil Pacific Classic

Adelaide.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
