Just want to check if it's still on???. I didn't have time to call to find out today.

I might have to call up CAMS tomorrow to get them to fax a temp license since mine still hasn't arrived yet.

So who's coming tomorrow?

NSW people are soft..............................................that is all

I seemed to be the only person representing our glorious branch of the club. Maybe I should move down to Vic.......:D

Hopefully Anna would have some pics loaded up today and also the vic people will have lots of photos in their section.

Was good to see the Vic guys again

Shame about the weather

you kidding me!!!!??? , half the fun was learning the limits in the rain......

I'd say this is perfect for people to learn about how cars behave in the rain......and how you can a really insane amount of understeer follow by oversteer

really really worth doing it in the rain......fcuk lap times, they mean shit, not when the things you learn in the rain can help you stay alive on the road.

I'm still have a smile from going down the main straight at 200km/h in heavy rain.

that turn (the one where you can see the other side of the track and all the main building and it slopes downwards), is evil.....so slippery in the wet. Locked up there once.....was shitting myself.

that poor fella in the 34

Good day, heaps slippery.

Having a couple of mm toe out at the front and a couple toe in at the back was not optimal in the wet on road rubber. But it was still a fun day out, and say hi to the Vic guys. Those guys have some fast cars.

KLR33 - did you have yours on the abck of a trailer towed by an R31?

I saw a black 33 with a bloke putting it on a trailer...wonder if it was you?

and if so - how does the 31 go for trailering??

wonder if my 31 could do it :whistling:

Good to meet you mate (I was the guy chatting to you in the beanie if you don't remember)

Certainly looked like you were all having some great fun out there, certainly entertaining watching you guys in the rain :P

O Tommo that was your R33 very nice beast. KLR33 was your car matt black and striped out was wounding if you where on the forums.

Thanks mate, I was thinking the same about yours... very clean. I've seen you out and about on the GWH quite a few times late on Saturday nights :D

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Kinkstaah · Posted

      ..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.
