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>

Im very keen for the cruise. so everyone is meeting at mac's in gunghalin at 6am i will be there for sure.

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!

    • ..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.
