^ Lol that was matty T from on here! He had to retire after that.. so never made qualifying. Time for a new shell for him :D

Not sure if there were any defect stations, never heard anything? Didnt see much cop presence anyway throughout the day.

Nice shots flick, especially the dusk shots.

and sorry to say Matty - but your car is looking pig and a half! LOL

its dead mate, more of a pig than i wanted to see it

I was out and about... but left just afterr the red R31 went through the tyre barrier and into the wall at turn 1

interesting :D

yeah, was a combination of driver error and mechanical failure. understeer, too much lock, too hot and stuff starting to strain / crack / break in the front end

was devo'd not to even get a chance at qualifying, but thats how the cookie crumbles i spose

was a good afternoon out. Glad i went, saw some awesome driving out there. Well done to all the SAU guys and flick for the great photo's. No cops there also so i was happy :P Also big thanks to the security guy on the gate for letting me park in a good safe spot :laugh:

heres a couple of my runs from the in car footage. 2 of my best runs for the day. Next year hopefully pull these runs off more consistently, and start being abit of competition for some people. Last bit was me pitting in and just following a mate playing chase cam.

dunno if any of the skylines out there belong to anyone here? I took about 450 high res shots.

Hey nice shot, this is my mate's car, we were in the garage with him :D I will send this to him, cheers!

We were out in the Stag, we headed off after he got knocked out in the 3rd round (I think?!)

    • 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.
