On Parramatta Rd on the way home after watching RH9 I had a car of punks ask me if I was the owner of RH9 (still have the Godzilla Motorsport stickers on the side of my van from WSID) I was tempted to say yes, but sadly had to say no.

Awesome effort, very well done!!!

What fuel and how much boost was chucked at it to pull 930wkw??

Also, big well done to the RH9 R34, has it run a 9 at the strip yet?

Rob

C16 was the fuel...ill let you do the maths to work out the boost. :(

it may skip the 9 second bracket and go straight into the 8's...damn...it may spoil my plans to be Australia's next 8 second GTR

Not one pass under 10.00 in the 4-5 years the stickers/plates have been on the car :)

I watched that Vid too... they almost spooled very similar, that was cool :)

yeh, it'll go from 13's to 8's with the right box/tyres/susp. setup/enough nitrous off the line in no time

Hi guys and thanks.

I would like to take the opportunity to thank Mark, Shane, Harry, Justin from Godzilla Motorsport and Gonzo for all there help in making our weekend as succesfull as it was. To all my family and friends that made there way to sydney for all there support.

It was a shame the intercooler let go on the last run as we would've given everyone a nice suprise at the outcome (it's a miracle what another 5psi can do).

I am looking forward to racing at Willowbank with Mark and the team early next year and getting the car down the track as thats the reason it was built,

and the reason Mark is spending so much time on it.

We will keep you updated.

Geees Paul i thought you'd be happy about me skipping the nines???!!!!

John

    • 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.
