This would be awesome to attend!

But sadly even if my car was back on the road im without license till April :D

Im seriously considering (when i can) heading over to Victoria for a SAU track day that the guys over there hold regularly.

Awesome that you guys have organised this!!!!

The Vics are fantastic people and always put on a good "event,cruise,party,dinner" :) so you guys will have loads of fun!!

I hope some of you do decide to go to shepparton and enter a DECA next year..thats where the real fun is at!!!

Will hopefully have 3 states representing....as some stage!!

  • 2 weeks later...

Cuz i thought this should be advertised a little better..... I've recently put a couple of bulletin's up on my myspace, as a majority of people are all import owners :wave: most are skylines i must admit, but others are s14's, 180's, laurals, cefiro's and maybe some rotors :P

I'll paste what was posted.....I contacted a few mates in NSW off of SAU aswell.. they are driving down to Melb to meet us there :(

Please note, there is no cut off time as to when you book YOUR accomodation. Bunny and I are booking our own accomodation, and its up to YOU to book your own. Its too hard to sit and wait for definate answers, (i've learnt this in the past)

This was put on myspace (www.myspace.com/her200sx

Accomodation.....

Staying at EASYSTAY - Castle St, St Kilda

Ph 03 9525 3833 (however please check with Bunny33, as this company may have referred us to another hotel near it with more room for a big group of people)

Its $140 per night for 2 people......

HOWEVER....

if u pay $15 x 2 extra beds to be put in the room... total $170

Divide by 4 people

equals $42.5 PER NIGHT

times that by 3 nights..... equals $127.50 for the weekend...

If u pay $8 per night.. ur car gets LOCKED UP :)

We are meeting at the bottom of the freeway, Adelaide... left there is a small car park just after the Mobil Petrol Station. at 5.30 IN THE MORNING!! doh that's gonna hurt! haha..

Once again.. from the 25th - 28th..

U gotta take the friday off... take a sicky or something! lol

The first bulletin i posted... 10 people emailed straight away... so heaps are keen.. its on www.skylinesaustralia.com aswell.

My mates from NSW have been waiting on me to tell them when we are heading there... so they will drive from their state to meet us.

So... as you can see... a fair few people now know about this that may be joining.. last time we had a road trip up to melb.. we met the SAU guys and Ns.com guys up there. They took us to their favourite areas... we met heaps of people.. we bumped into massive cruises.. and of course hit the shops! :blink:

Seriously can't wait. :)

sorry i didnt reply earlier, but yeah, im out =(

dont really want to drive my car all the way to melb, esp by myself, and if i did i'd probably have to go into traction as soon as i get their coz my suspension is a bit too hard =P

so i hope everyone that is going enjoys the trip!! (im sure you will)

btw bunny, whens the next time motul is on sale? im due for an oil change =P

    • 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.
