Matty go jump on the Autosports forum and sign up for Friday night accomodation,

I'm heading down on the Friday afternoon if anyone wants to meet up - Casula Bunnings would be the place. :D

I want to spend Friday evening packing and getting ready for Wakey/Texi as last time I went to Wakey a lot of time was spent after work going "oh shit, what do I need"

That and my dad wants to come and watch me be slow around the track. $120 for a night vs a 3 hour drive that you have to do anyway. I'm going to tight option :D

Why hello there.

-Yes, I'm here.... Member Number 8, 18 or 28 or something like that.

Liz, did you end up entering this event ?

My FD won't be in any condition to pull anything below 1.14's I suspect. I'm more or less coming down to help a mate, and turn a few laps... Nothing serious from me...

We'll have at least one FD, maybe two that will be sub 1.05's.

I'm interested in having a go at a Superkart if possible. I should be quailified enough, whats the deal...

Kin ?

How do you know me ?

Aren't you that Asian guy that said at the last FD Meeting that your FD would blow the doors off any Skyline down WSID ?

1.04 ? hahahahaha... Sssshhhhhhh........... That was in my other car, but we'll have a guy from Adelaide who will be hopefully doing 1.04's....... Not I thou.

All I know is it was some tall Asian Dude from AusRotary....... Kin.... found in the FD Thread.

FD's expensive ? Hahahaha.... Depends..... On how deep your pockets are.

I can give you the mad hook ups on roof canards Pete, PM me :P

That FD only did sub 1.05 when WP was being run counter clockwise.

I think the FD crew need to put all their faith in AndyMac in his once automatic wonder car.

Brad

skylines > fd rx7

sorry, its the truth

andymac, ive never heard of ausrotary, im indian.. so i dont know about this tall asian guy ur talking about

ppl have told me about him b4 tho, they say his car is a beast

This is why we don't have enough people for texi :P

*shakes fist at Greg*

So you're the guy who trashed talked on ausrotary forums then backed it up with 1 hot lap clocked at 1:04 huh?

nice work.............Mr I can beat MS in a F1 car.

    • 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.
    • 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.
