You should read what they send you

i havent had time to read my emails at home yet...which is prolly why i havent seen that bit....im a newbie on this login..but in my other, ive been on almost a year...i jus cant remember my password... :)

One of my mates want to enter his S15. Its got GTRS turbo, lowered, origin kit, Stereo, 20ich Tempe tyres wheels (5spoke) :) , exhaust. I told him not to bother cause of the wheels. Would the wheels mean a no no? (Pm if need be)

I remember seeing that application - is he from the mid-North?? I don't remember seeing the pic, maybe it didn't upload correctly. Either way, tell him, in the interests of good taste, borrow a set of rims for the day :rant:

Just so you understand where we're at with entries guys, we've now passed our 250-car limit, and are making allow 25 more entries to cater for the fact that people will pull out at the last minute. After that, anyone who enters will only be approved if someone else gives up their spot. If you don't want to miss out, then I suggest you get in very quickly.

hrmmm....anyone bringin a trolley jack??? i dont think sapol's finest would approve of me drivin down there with drag slicks

I could bring mine down for ya. The jacks not very low so i'd probably have to bring my blocks of wood to drive up onto first, I'm thinking i'll bring my car down in track spec, semi's, rollcage saves me taking all that stuff off :cool:

UPDATES

Entries are now nudging 350 and we have no idea how to fit them all on haha. If you haven't received a reply to your application, you will get one in the next day or two.

The weather is saying a shower or two, which is a damn sight better than they were saying last year. Same as last year, if it pisses down, we'll leave our cars on the reserve and head to Pier One, but I think it's gonna be an awesome day.

Oh, for those of you expecting some major changes to the format, this year we've got a coffee van.

Hey Kristian did you seen my post in the NS thread saying that i can't make it as i have the engine out of my car ATM?

I also i have a 70th B'day for my uncle the same day and he's been given a few months to live (cancer) so i'd have to go to that in any case. I'll come down for a look in the morning however.

I wish you fellahs a great day on Sunday!

It looks as if our Cruise weather prediction is for showers too + wind.

Kris - I'm out for AJD on sunday :P Family matters come first.

I sent an email to applications@ajd, but just thought should post here too. So please pass my entry to another car if you still have a waiting list. Entrant 142

    • 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.
