Charity Car Cruise 30th Nov Official Breast Cancer Cruise


Recommended Posts

Have you got anything in writing from the authorities stating that no cars will be defected if they are part of your event? Some mates and I might be keen on going, but not if it turns into a full on defect station like some other events in the past.

Have you got anything in writing from the authorities stating that no cars will be defected if they are part of your event? Some mates and I might be keen on going, but not if it turns into a full on defect station like some other events in the past.

um i really dont think you would be able to get something like that....they aren't exactly going to say "yes we will let illegally modified vehicles drive on public roads because its for a good cause"

So I guess the organizer should change the event details then - I'd hate for people to bring their pride and joys to the event only to have their asses reamed.

I figured as much though, no such arrangement could possibly be reached as you are not putting on a stationary show - you are driving on a public road.

Gee... very encouraging... I guess if I come I should keep on cruising then.

Promogirlz Promotions has been working on getting this event right for months, it is planned and well thought out!

AS THE ORGANISER of this event - i expect all vehicles to be on their best behaviour, the local police have never given me any problems with my Skyline.

But obviously ppl need to be aware that it only takes one person to ruin it for everyone else as long as no one drives recklessly i dont see why there would be any issues as the Local Police and all organisations know all about it.

This is not Eastern Creek Dragway, I encourage you and your mates to come as this is going to be a FABULOUS DAY.

Off that subject and onto something else i have driven the route today to ensure that the road has no major damage etc

I would like to report that

a. There are no potholes the road has actually just been resealed recently

b. The Route is extremely scenic and beautiful :D)

c. It takes just over an hour for the round trip

Please find the Map below

Same as every other organised charity event that has happened lately.

The only time a charity event like this went bad was AFTER the event had finished...

A couple of years ago Hot4s arranged a cruise up to the Central Coast, and the cops set up a massive defect station at the Gosford turn-off. There was a big whinge about it on car forums, since the cops had said (or the organisers had said the cops had said) that they wouldn't be defecting people.

Of course, the idiots blocking off the F3 in the afternoon for rolling runs on the way home means it was probably pre-emptively deserved.

I was a definite maybe for this, but unfortunately it's on the same day as the V35 cruise. :D

I'll be there in spirit. If there's one thing I believe we should be taking care of in this world, its boobs.

Promogirlz Promotions and Models is holding a Car Cruise Charity Day “Cruise for Christine” on the 30th of November to raise money for the Breast Cancer Foundation.

The cruise for Breast Cancer Awareness is on Sunday the 30th of October 2008 and starting at The Mean Fiddler.

The cost is still $10 per car. Open to all makes and model cars, bikes etc.

If you are worried about going on the cruise you dont have to partake in it. You can come for the car show in the morning and after lunch.

Its about raising money for a good cause.

Regards

Promogirlz

no probs, just cos u mentioned 2 different dates in ur above post...do we have an idea on how many cars are attending?

We are expecting over 50 cars hoping for about 200 but as you know with these things - ppl decide in the morning, we are praying the weather will behave as well as this will obviously impact the turnout.

This Cruise is a little diff from other events so im hoping for a terrific turnout.

Promogirlz Promotions and Models is a new Company in the Northwest providing models for Hot 4's, Fusion Electronics, The Mean Fiddler, Unseen TV we have a Silver Nissan Skyline that we use to get from a - b and will also be interested in talking to ppl on the day about doing a track run in the new year.

If anyone wants any further info don't hesitate to ask.

    • 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.
