Just letting everyone know there will be both the r31 club skid pan day and MG car club canberra motorkhana are on this Sunday at Sutton Rd Driver Training Centre.

The Motorkhana will be on all day, and the skid pan will kick off around 8.00 and finish off around 12.30

I will be competing in the motorkhana and Thomas (Mccready) will be doing the skid pan day.

I have a couple of spots for passengers in the Motorkhana if anyone wants a ride, but to be honest, I like having a passenger, it settles the car and evens the weight out.

So really I need passengers, so get your bums out to Sutton Rd and help me win!!!!!! :P

Rebecca said she'd love to be a passenger (not sure you want THAT MUCH weight though) *thump* I should have written that without her standing behind me.

She is keen though and might help her learn. How much is it to enter?

Thanks for everyone coming out and supporting me, next time you guys will have to come out and do it yourselves.

Also next time I will have some more spots available for passengers so come out and get scared shitless!!!!

And to all asking for results about the motorkhana, in the 6 tests, I got 4 fastest, a 2nd fastest, and one somewhere in the field (hit a cone, and didn't stop in the garage) Official outright time I will get in a week or two

P.S. Has anyone got any photo's, just wanted to know if Mark or anyone got a photo of me trying to grab the flag?

      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

      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.
