Howdy all... I'm Matt from Dr Tuning Mobile Performance

I am holding a car cruise on sunday the 1st of march at the Penrith Regatta centre, meet up is at 10.30am & will be heading out to the Yellowmundi / Hawkesbury lookout via castlereigh rd at 11.15. It will be a great cruise path as there is no traffic lights in sight from point A to point B & cold mountain air for that extra HP. ''The 'twisties' going up the mountain are priceless''!!!

We will be providing a free sausage sizzle on return and free entry is a bonus. We have the P5 carparked booked for the occasion and can hold up to 100 cars easy!! Awesome views & plenty to see at the Regatta centre... Can't be missed!!!

So come along, come say hi, enjoy yourself & come meet your local 'mobile' performance specialist... Dr Tuning!! Whether its more power your desire or better fuel economy for that street machine, we do it. Specialising in Microtech & Apexi tuning, turbochargers & Ignition systems!!!

You can contact admin on 0415420566 (Scott) or my self on 04 DR TUNING... Hope to see you there, thanks :)

The "twisties" are currently under construction (widening them) so plenty of signs + construction vehicles around. The Hawkesbury lookout will only handle about 20 cars, the carpark across the road will handle about 20 more.

Also, it's called Yarramundi not Yellowmundi :domokun:

Cool, hope to see some of you's there... But, they ARE not widening the road up the mountain, they are working on the rock work as it keeps falling every now and then. Though very rare, i have asked about this and sorry mate, wrong again, it is called 'Yellowmundi' up there... Lol. I have lived there all my life pretty much...

Its 'Yarramundi' as you get onto the Springwood / Hawkesbury rd through to the 'YMCA' there and at the top of the mountain through the bush is called 'Yellowrock'!!! So that lookout (Check the sign up there) is in the middle of the two places and so is the area around there, hence why that part is called 'Yellowmundi' (Yellow-rock & Yarra-mundi together) Lol.

And yeah, it only hold like 40 cars, but we will be heading up a little more to park...

Thanks again, Matt :)

That's correct that the rock face is being secured currently to make it safer for road users!

2 points to note...

i) Springwood/Hawkesbury Rd from Yarramundi to Agnes Banks has been frequently patrolled by unmarked keystones for about 5 months now. There is an easy solution to this tho'

ii) If you do decide to proceed a bit further past the lookout into Hawkesbury Heights, the speed limit has changed last month from 80Km/Hr > 60Km/Hr. And then it changes again to 80Km/Hr on the run towards Winmalee where it's 60 again of course.

Tez

Thanks for the sausages and time taken to put it on. Ignore the sign at Yarramundi advertising Mineral Water for 20c/litre since they're not open on a Sunday (only Saturdays 10-4 and Wednesdays after 3pm).

wheres P5? thats final Destination yeh?

For anyone coming west to Penrith, you'd take the Mulgoa Rd offramp to Penrith > turn right towards Penrith.

Proceed along Mulgoa Rd and at the intersection of High St (where there's also a red light cam), cross it and > it becomes Castlereagh Rd.

Keep going straight till you hit the Andrews Rd Roundabout > turn left to the regatta centre and this is still the old part of Castlereagh Rd.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..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.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
