Done deal! PM sent!

I just found out that a skidder has fried a gearbox and may not have it back together in time.. anybody else interested? This is not a guarenteed spot yet, but most likely.

Hi Aaron,

I got stuck with a huge day at work - wasn't able to get back to this post.

one of the guys on SAUQld is keen, but it may be too late

Can you contact Jayson on SAUQld?

or PM me your mobile and I'll see if I can get you to in contact.

Cheers

Chris

Kody, I am not overly keen on having 2 people drive the same car..

I just gave both you guys a skid day, you will have to be content with the one spot this time. You will have to learn to share!

I have sent a PM to the above Jason, is that the same person?

PM sent to ROB.

If these people play, there is currently no other spots up for grabs today!

I do NOT have ANY cars on the reserve list at this stage, If you are interested, PM me or miss out on getting first on the reserve list!

yeh aaron toss me down on the reserve list, i had a great time last time, would be keen for some more action. :D

1 more spot free, any body else interested??

Watch this space.. There maybe 2 more spots coming, it looks like a Guy and his Girl have booked their holidays 1 week early, they are a little bit confused! lol

I will post up conformation probably within the next 4 ~6 days!

thanks

I thought I should also mention that I have a youth group that do the car wash. I supply all the gear, including Mcguires car wash.

Its $8 for a wash and chamioux.

They are raising funds to go overseas and build schools for orphans of war, all money raised goes to the build project. So bring $8 and help them out, and you go home in a nice clean car after a day of skidding, No washing your car on sunday!

Thats gotta be totally awesome for ya!

Kody, What do you mean by kids?

If they are younger than you, then NO! Their heads are full of dumb ideas and they do even dumber stuff.

I try very hard to steer away from people and groups with silly rot in their heads, they cause lots of trouble and are not interested in being part of the group and playing nice... I have beeter things to do than be a mum to a bunch of egg heads who think they know everything.

Aaron, if I didn't know you mate that would sound like the biggest con story ever. :D

BTW mate I'm considering putting you in for an Order of Australia Medal for services to the improvement of Road Sense and vehicle handling, or something along those lines. If we had a lot more of these things there would be less idiots driving like tools on the roads.

Get in and fill these spots folks. Best fun you can have off a race track.

    • 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.
