oooooooooh you boys are lucky i'm nice. It must be all the Hello Kitty shit around the house influencing me :D

If you want any of the older stock, and want me to put aside for you, please tell me the approx size you're after :)

Just a couple points!

I thought I should also add that, non members are only eligible to purchase our old stock, not any of the new items.

We will however be offering a special discount for members who join on the day. Membership will be $45 instead of $52.50, and Renewals will be $20 instead of $22.50. If you join on the day, your membership will be active until 30th June 2009.

Cheers, Anna.

EDIT

I just thought i'd let you know what we have left of the old stock, so that no-one ends up disappointed :)

Polo shirts - 11 (all XL)

Dress shirts - 1 Medium, 3 Large, 2 XLarge

Jackets - 1 Small, 1 Large, 4 XLarge, 1 XXXLarge

I'll rock up to Aspley say hi to all the old peeps and make my yearly donation. The cef needs a run anyway!

BTW, my dad has prostate cancer, and the tests from that he was also diagnosed with lung cancer. (lung cancer is gone, chemo is way hardcore tho, and the prostate is very treatable). It really doesn't get the publicity it should, its just as big of a killer as breast cancer (not saying breast cancer is any less important...). Early dection is just so easy and it then becomes very curable or at least managable.

Some people might not realise but by having your prostate removed some of the complications can be loosing your manhood (ie ability to get an errection), obviously can't have kids anymore either. And its typically a very agressive cancer, and therefore needs quick attention. So sometimes the decission to opperate is very difficult. Especially when you need to carry round a weebag for up to a few months. Sorry to be quite blunt, but I really don't think that people realise exactly what its all about.

So good on you SAU!!!

No worries guys ;)

Wow mate, i'm sorry to hear that, but thanks for sharing :D

It truly is amazing how little people know about these issues, and typically, men don't take much notice of what's going on with their body, not until it's too late! Prostate & testicular cancer affect more men every year, than breast cancer does women. But we NEVER see blue ribbons, or teddy bears with blue shirts.

I went shopping the other day, and I counted every time I saw a fundraiser for breast cancer. 14 times. Stores with donation boxes. Pink products, even things like nail polish and hair straighteners with proceeds going towards it. Like you, i'm not saying AT ALL that it's not as deserving, because it is, and any kind of illness deserves fundraising, but it really does show how little men's health issues are 'advertised'.

So let's get this fundraising party started kids :(;):)

Membership as stipulated in the pro-rata schedule, is $30 per year (if renewing between July & August). $22.50 if you renew between October and December. $15 if you renew between January and March, and $37.50 if you renew between April and June (taking you through to the following year). It is a rather new system, but we cannot do month by month, it's just far too confusing for everyone, and the pro-rata brings everyone into line (it is extremely difficult when doing up membership packs every single day to send out, it gets rather old :laugh:) making it easier for the current exec, which may very well one day include you, or any other members should they wish to be more involved :)

If you want to chat more about this, please do so in the 'qld club info' section or you can PM any one of us, we're always open to suggestions :banana: This thread is just not a particularly appropriate place, or you can have a chat to one of us on Sunday :P

Hope this helped :rofl:

impact_blue,

Mind chucking us a estimate on some of the newer items for sale? Just so I have a rough idea on how much cash to bring :>

Sorry mate, I only just realised now that I didn't have prices listed. I edited the post so now all prices are listed ;)

Well i'm not sure what time other groups are planning on arriving, but there'll be a few of us there a bit earlier, if you arrive anywhere between 9.30 and 10.00 there'll be someone there to greet you :(

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      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.
