Guys/Gals

We are looking for people to help out as officials at DECA

If your coming up to watch or are bringing someone with you that can help out that would be great

Go to..I CAN HELP OUT AT DECA

Looking forward to it, I promise I dont bite but once I get to know you and become more confident you may be telling me to shut up :down: hehe

Might not have AWD for this one :down:

Only makes the rb30 battle a little fairer :)

You're still bringing the GTR; 4wd or not, right?

38'C on Friday's drive up. So i (hopefully) fixed my aircon leak and filled up the gas today :bannana:

With any luck my a/c will still be working properly for the scorching drive up.

Hahaha, yeah something like that

Still bringing it, if its not broken it will be there

You just reminded me the AC isnt working, ill see about that if there's time

bahahaha.. all of that looks awesome.

flying finish for long wang hey? interesting to see how timers go with thtat

Yep, The timer will be on the armco looking directly across the finish line with stopwatch in hand.

There will be a set of chicanes after the finish line to remind you to slow down. I'll test this in the morning to make sure ample braking time is allowed, so that it is safe for our new drivers.

morning skidpan layouts look familiar, i think we had similar layouts last year in May? doesn't give me any advantage though, pretty sure i got WD's on them last time :ermm:

Yes, they are similar. One is run in reverse with some extra turns and one has an extra gate added.

We chose these ones, as they are simple and fun. Should be easy enough to remember.

Chris' tip for remembering motorkhana's 101: Look at the map, then trace it with your finger while pointing at the skidpan. Do this a few times to make sure it's in your head. Once you think you have got it, put the event schedule behind your back, and if you can still point out the map with your finger, then you have committed it to memory.

    • 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.
