Too many coppers. Their organising autosalon, so P6 is out of the question this time round.

Coming from liverpool.... Lets see, as your driving down Hume Highway, turn left on Homebush Bay Drive, then right on Parramatta road. Its then your first Shell Service Station on your left. You'll see the office work carpark there.

COUNT ME IN THIS IS MY SECOND CRUISE

Nice turn out everyone..

THanks to everyone for being patient when we got broken up at the city..

Just for the record this is the last cruise I am organising that involves going through the city. So please no more requests to the city. If you have like 4-5 cars, thats easy to manage, but when you have 20 + cars, its impossible, no matter how you look at it.

But all up, it was better than being home in bed or dogging it like Nathanial (DECIM8) to go clubbing!!

Looking forward to the next one! Imagine all of us on that F3! That'll be awesome.

See the Christmas Cruise thread.. =)

She's a cool chick mate. I remember her shoutin' somethin out of your window, but I was still slightly deaf havin followed one of the Red 33's thro town..!, Snowy was still in her happy place when I left 4 workies tis morn'.(alright for some eh?)

Think I got nearly 2hrs sleep too..!!!, decided to do some revision, then it was 05:48..!!! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaagh..!!

Work @ 9Am.... home just now... Ah well, sleep when am dead I suppose..!

Failed to get to training wheels, as I was running late, so mine is still at 60%. I guess one day I might get her back in tune again(someday). Its incredible when ya loose power after having it at ones disposal... kinda feel like opening the door to let the clutch out.! :ph34r:

WHEELS ( I mentioned them to ya in Maccas). I off to see them tomorrow morning, is there any other bits ya need, or should I get pics first?

I guess we all enjoyed it, and "assasin" did a kewl job under the pressure... :)

I can't remember who was in the Red R32, but last time I saw ya all, I was shadowing him to make sure all was ok..... last seen flying through traffic lights at end of George St... his trajectory appeared to be 'Matta road. Left me for dead at the lights!!

Anyways, I hope he got home OK, 'cos he was havin a bitch of a job getting away from the Lights on George st.

Later on, I encountered another fellow 'liner on 'matta road in a black 33(kinda lost too!), we chatted briefly, and he shot homeward.

Pics!! would have been good, I was at the back of the "suaree"(not sure of the collective noun for Skylines!!), ... and the sight of all those "round reds" was amazing. From the position I was in, the roads were dominated by the Skylines, and it turned quite a number of heads in town for sure.

My shotgun (Snowy), even tho' un-educated in the 'finer art' of Skyline piloting never stopped going on about it. So, for sure, iiiiif she's in the same seat next time, she can be head of "Video and Photgraphy". IT HAS GOT to be slapped on YouTube for sure.

SOoooo, out of curiosity, what happened after George St ?

we headed towards manly, over the spit and stopped at dee why maccas

Yeah, I was there, but wondered what happened after we came back thro city. Last I saw was heading(flying) toward Parramatta Road, heading back to the orig meeting point.

.........then I got left behind, so I was just curious what happened next.

Greast cruise in the end. Good to see so many stove lights out!!!

Thanks for the back up guys. Managed to get home ok, just rev match gears CRUNNNNNNCH.

What happened was the pivot ball snapped off at the thread (what the clutch fork sits on.).

Took gearbox off yesterday and put my rebuilt one on today. Just finished this arvo, so much fun to do by myself as mates were away.Bloody heavy.

I'm stuffed, but I'll make it to the christmas cruise no worries now!

Thanks guys.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.

      ..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.
