Awesome Anna - have marked you down. Your a legend!!

Danielle - ahhhhhh....... if I say yes will it put you off :(

I always take an umbrella up with me just in case it rains. We have been VERY lucky with the weather though. I beleive we've had rain only once and it was during a Nov or Feb event - 40 degrees all day, then BAM storm blew in.

Bec, sorry huni sadly yes....lol

Wind not good for hair, but that can be dealt with, rain however not good on the make up which will end up all over the place like an emo version of the joker in batman :)

1. Get a lift up with someone else, there's a total of 50 cars coming up probably all from melbourne, there may be a spare seat somewhere.

2. If you can navigate an online forum then you can operate a stopwatch.

3. The 'dude' complainging is actually a chick :P

Anyways.... as Dave said, surely you could figure something out to get up there and it is easy to help out. See how you go, it woudl be great if you could get up there to help us. Let me know definately if you can figure something out.

Cheers

Also, Martini Racing (in conjunction with the WRX Club) have offered us 2 gift vouchers which we will be raffling off to our volunteers on the day.

1 x $100 and 1 x $50 voucher

So everyone who helps out (1/2 day minimum) will go into a draw to win one of these vouchers.

Helping out is easy :P I had my first DECA day last time and everyone was great explaining what I had to do and when do to it. Its great to be in the thick of the action. Hope so see you there :)

      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.
