Since there is quite a few of us who live out western Sydney way is anyone keen for a meet and greet next Saturday 26th June in the blacktown area? Possibly at the mcdonalds on sunnyholt rd blacktown near the m7? Around 12? Would be good to meet the other stagea owners in the area.

What do you think peeps?

Hey mate,

Has been a while! My back is feeling awesome too thanking you :)

Yeah I have seen it, I was thinking a little meet and great before the big event since there is a lot of us who live around the Blacktown area.

Hope your well mate.

Sounds alright to me, Teren. Nice and close to home, and the right time of the day (I'm busy both Friday and Saturday night, so those are ruled out).

Prospect reservoir would have been a nice venue but far too many speed bumps and raised sections of road for Teren to negotiate :rolleyes:

A few hours at a guess mate. 0409077592 txt me tomorrow and I'll let you know everyones intentions when we are there.

Are you just in the 33? Or is the canary possibly comming?

Ok, I will more than likely be there.

Car has just had a quick wash, no chamois or window clean tho so it's still going to look gritty lol

Oh well, sh!t happens eh!

LOL, got in my car to go out to lunch today, and the battery is dead, even though it ran fine last night! It's been on charge since lunch time, and I think I'll be carrying some jumper leads or parking on a hill tomorrow, just in case...

And don't let the meeting point turn you off, once we have all arrived we can always discuss a cruise to somewhere else!

Hope to see other M35's, it's starting to look like I'll be an orphan :P

Huge turn-out let me tell you!

2 cars :|

Teren (Tangents) got called into work, the only people to show up was myself and James (MasterJDoggy).

Oh well, maybe next time eh!

    • 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.
    • How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP
    • I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use
    • 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.
