Ok people my cruise idea

http://www.classicadelaide.com.au/

there was a spot I went to last year that would be awesome to take the club there this year. Plenty of parking up on this grass hill and your standing near your car so no need to worry about it. For those of you not familiar with the rally its not just old cars, last year had a 34 vspec and a couple of 360 Ferrari race cars rocking it and the Nissan Silvia off ns.com and even some moddified cars twin turbo v8 commo? Best free day of racing I’ve seen anyways.

Bad things at this spot are you need to get there 30min early before they block the road and your trapped there until they finish like 4hours later maybe the only way in n out during is a really bad dirt road no respectable skyline should be driving on although I did see a wrx take that route.

I was thinking bbq lunch and drinks (maybe not alcoholic as we still gota drive after) would be the way to go and maybe if someone’s got some sort of shade thingy that would be good to have there as well.

Here’s what I stole from the classic site will probably be the exact same this year expecting it to be sat 22nd of November 2008

STAFFORD RIDGE - SPECTATOR VIEWING AREA 5 - 1.45pm

Enter the Spectator Viewing Area via Lenswood on Coldstores Road and stand left of Crofts Road. It's a great spot - you see the cars come out of a left hander, race towards you (you are standing on a 3-4 meter high embankment), then around a 90 degree right-hander and disappear downhill. UBD Map 112 C10

with dohmar cooking, he's game for going nutz with the fest but it depends on numbers and if people are happy to pay a lil extra $$ we'll have to wait n see.

Ok finally anyone that can help please let us know with things like

-shade

-big ass bbq’s or Webbers, not to mention getting them down there (looks at a certain member with a red holden ute. come on man we need your help)

-boom box or even a good car stereo would be good (as long you don't end up stuck with flat battery)

-some kind of soccer ball or something to kick around between cars

-score boards for passing cars (I don’t know)

organised by the official dan party for the benefit on sau community in conjunction with the classic adelaide rally

im in. just need a good camera now

I'm looking at selling my Canon 350D if interested Luke....same camera that Daniel (Kalel) uses.

I think this is a great idea Dan but I'd think twice about a soccer ball between cars though......with all the car action you won't have time for that anyway.

was there last time, that late in the day there can be big gaps between cars, booting the ball around can happen a bit further away up the hill or just lil soft taps between people closer. its not like your jammed against the car there is plenty of room.

once before 2006 i think a train derailed n left the whole thing running 3hours late so a ball is always good in these emergencys :P

Would be awesome to get something like that, just need something small and good that i can take away with me also.

I hear you can get filipina brides pretty cheap these days if you dont mind waiting for immigration and the pre-nuptual. Theyre pretty small too.

Sounds good, but there's a better place to watch the rally on chainy's........ Actually, forget it, this stage is always on the thursday. I took the day off last year. :P

I'm a rally nut!!

Sounds like a good idea but is there anywhere else we can go to watch it? I thought that the stafford ridge spectator area last year was a bit of a dissapointment. The corner is a 90 degree and most of the cars take it fairly easy through there (my opinion), compared to other sections of the rally, there's not much room to hang it out sideways.

Does anyone know any secret spots????

the lancer saftey car drifted it, but he drifts every corner i think (crazy mofo) i like it cause it shows off some funky late braking, u get to see the cars a fair bit rather than a small glimpse past and there's plenty of room to park ya car close by n setup a bbq. but if you guys know i a better spot im all ears.

i went up near windy's as well and they looked like they were going soft to me around those bends, well 9 outa 10 of em. i think there time restriction thingys were effecting them up there

Just to add to this regarding catering;

Can do a nice spread if we get enuff people. Wont cost a lot

If I can get one combo bbq with hotplate/flame grill and one weber I should be able to keep everyone happy.

Real easy to buy a bulk amount of sausages, patties, chevaps, kebabs and what not...if we get enough people I'll do 2x legs of lamb , should be able to feed 12-15 people (and thats not including the other stuff I could do...)

Price will include bread and salad and condiments. As noted, all drinks are BYO, couple beers are ok but pls make sure you're not leaving the venue pissed; or if you are, get a mate/passenger to drive you home.

I just need some champ to provide the bbq's and some idea of who wants me to cater for em. If you wanna bring yr own shiznit, cool, but Im a kitchen nazi and wont share bbq's cause my bbq's are all communal. If people out there wanna help out by bringing side dishes and leaving the rest to me, that could work out well but once again I'd need to know how many people are confirmed.

Catering is piss easy, if you know how many souls to feed :P

heard you talking about that at villi's last week. Would be awesome to get something like that, just need something small and good that i can take away with me also.

yeah the Canon 350D is one of the smallest DSLR's on the market. Pentax make an SLR about 4mm smaller but they're crap in comparisson.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      By Duncan · Posted

      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

      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.
