Shepparton is booked pretty much booked out for this weekend.

I have a few things reserved under my name - but in the next couple of days, even those will be taken off me unless someone puts their hand up and says they want them.

If you are wanting to stay for the weekend - PM OR EMAIL ME ASAP with your phone number and Ill call you and give you some details.

If you dont act quickly, there is a very high chance youll miss out - please get in touch with me as soon as you can.

Cheers :blink:

UPDATE - have secured 5 more rooms :rant:

They dont like holding them for me though as its so busy up there that weekend.

Please guys - I cant stress enough - If you need a room, contact me ASAFP - If i dont get names next to these rooms, the hotels will take them back :D

no licence cant make it, was wanting to do it otherwise

Just get someone to drive it up for you and you can thrash it around on the track. That's what I did when I lost mine.

If anyone else is looking for a fire extinguisher this ebay seller is selling some with metal bracket for $10 each:

gareth, i'm 99% down for this so will need a fire extinguisher. What do you think of these? i haven't done any research but i thought they'd be a lot more pricey than $10

anyone else who's got/knows about fire extinguishers think much of the ebay link?

They are from Supercheap Auto, I use the same ones in my cars. Normally priced around $25-30.

so $10 is a bargain then!

i've just net bank'd the $75, and just going to fill out the pdf, take some pics and email it to the motorsport address. Hope that's ok, don't have access to a fax at the moment

    • 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.
