R34 10th Anniversary Charity Cruise N Show N Shine


Recommended Posts

I'm pretty easy with that. Anyone able to recommend me a good GPS? Used to live in the West so shouldn't be too hard for me to find, however I really should get a GPS before doing this trip lol.

If you can get to the Sydney International Regatta Centre at Penrith Chris, the cruise will only entail 3 intersection turns up to Mt Wilson.

Pls bring your own food and water guys; because the little old ladies at the cafe at Mt Wilson will get heart attacks at all the business. lmao

Is there somewhere near the meet point where we can tidy up our cars a little? I'm imagining there's going to be some bugs and bits after the drive up!

Is Mt Wilson far from anywhere else where food is available?

Hi Kat,

Both inside the Regatta Centre (next to toilet blocks) and at Mt Wilson (further along The Avenue) at the Fire Stn and toilet blocks, I'm sure there's some taps. I guess the Central Coast guys will have the same trouble with bugs. I'll try and bring Bug Remover spray.

Because I'm organising, I'll be bringing sandwiches & bananas & H2O. But I know some ppl will go to the cafe...

Or better still, that cafe called the Chimney Cottage has the Phone # 02-47562022 and ask for Margaret to make up a couple of sandwiches for you to pick up.

Hope that helps!

Cheers, Terry

Is there a bbq near where we're ending up?

Bring a lightweight BBQ if you like and there's room at the Picnic Area on Mt Irvine Rd ie our final location. It's also where Sensei Hans (if not wet/humid/moist) will be doing his display/demo Kat.

LOL bring a bbq? I can barely fit an esky in my boot hun :P

Considering I'm leaving Canberra in the wee hours I'm looking for easy but not too boring lunch ideas. I guess that covers that there's no established BBQ area up there.

I do believe there is. I mean I saw ppl BBQing but I didn't think to notice if it was their own or an on-site version. And I'd hate to think of good meat going to waste.

Actually, I'll ask the other organisers that were also surveiling the place. Get back to you!

hey you guys :)

i'm one of the organisers as well.. i believe when we went to mt wilson on sunday with Terry there were people putting on a BBQ? i.e 2 public bbq hut thinggos lol

.. tried looking on google maps but it doesnt go that far into mt irvine road *sigh*

<proposed idea: bring meat if you want, if there's no bbq or it doesnt work.. have it for dinner lol>

Aren't you one of the ACT people too :/ lol. Hopefully it doesn't rain the next few days...

I must say I'm really looking forward to this!!!

Any ACTers that we can twist the arms of for a trip up? Looks like we still have an R32 convoy at this stage!

Hope this rain pisses off so I can clean my car!

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
