Now im not nocking your car, its not my taste, but hey thats why its your car and not mine, but to start flaring up at people and giving them a hard time for driving "some bloody toyota" is not on man. If we all drove the same cars, trackdays would be boring. I personaly had some great battles with a black non turbo r34, it was a very close match up. Check the photo galleries from prevcious skynats, there's pleanty of other makes/models other than skylines. Both josh and myself are fully paid up SAU SA members, and have been coming to club events for many years, so to start discriminating against us based on what we drive is both childish and just plain stupid.

Mate, i made that comment because Dohmar said he liked my car and the dude said "you serious??"

i didnt go around saying anything about that bloody toyota beforehand

Okay, we don't want things taken the wrong way. We've been praised for our maturity and professionalism for the weekend, so lets keep it that way.

At the end of the day, we all gave it a go and had fun in doing so.

:P

Rubes... i had a blast.... just that comment left a sour taste in my mouth... and the two fat moles at malala who looked at my car, laughed, and said "he cant drive for shit" ... put me in a pissed off mood for the rest of the day...

"Two fat moles" shouldn't be ruining your day Ben. You can't go rating your day based on what other random people think of you or your car. The only opinions that count are yours and family's.

Did your kids think dad was cool out on track? Thats all that matters mate.

:P

Thankfully I didn't cop any negativity (that I know of) when my Stagea went out for the Phillcom Time Attack. I was out there doing it and having fun, rather than being the 'armchair expert'. And I went home without a broken car.

lol... my kids thought i was number one.... did you see them try and outrun me on the start/finish line?? lol.... if they werent doing that, they were jumping up and down... giving me the thumbs up..... ready in the pits to help out if i needed it... and by lunchtime, my back was well stuffed... almost to the point of it seizing up on me.... they were a little disappointed that they missed out on the parade lap as i was lik a minute too late to get out on the track because i was putting my car back together..... but they couldnt be prouder.....

and your right Ruby.... saying that has made me feel alot better...

I had the same opporutnity to make Tracy and Cam think I was #1 some weekends ago in Perth.

I had the odd humorous, rib poking comments from my fellow competitors about being a "has been" and I should have stayed retired, where's my walking frame etc. But both Tracy and Cam encouraged me to go, and I was doing it for them. I also did it for me, just to see if I could still do it.

I left Perth with two 2nd placings in the Australian Titles and I did it for myself and my family ... no one else. You know what? ... I don't think I would have done so well if it wasn't for them either. Whether its for recreation, competition or just because your family asked you to ... do it to set a good role model for the family.

:P

This thread (along with any other SA thread) would definitely not be complete without a "Ruby's moral of the story" :P

My wisdom is free for all of earth's habitants :ermm:

Results will be up as soon as the CSA Motorsport secretary finalises them, and we figure out how to get the report off the screen into some sort of readable format. We have all of the finale rounds of results, but we still need to get them into a form where we can put them in here, without having to type the whole lot out again.

Patience my pretties.

Ok, heres how you do it -

Bring up the screen on your computer press Ctrl + PRTSCRN (copies the screen to the clipboard)

Open Windows Paint, Paste the screen into it.

Save it as results.jpg

Send it to someone here to host

Shouldnt take more than 2 mins at best :P

Just my 2c :P

i love that 32 4 door with the vented bonnet!

its a little banged up, but still looks awesome!

looks like a car that loves a bit of punishment

:P

now that i think about it, i reckon it was the only 4dr there, wtf? i swear there used to be tonnes of 4dr 32's, now they have all disappeared. think they have all been crashed haha

If you are signed into MSN just press print screen then press ctrl+V in the msn window and it will automatically send it as a jpg to the user!

really could not be simpler.

personally i prefer the R32 4 door GTS-t over the 2 door GTS-t.

they just got a nice look, especially when lowered!

agr33d

gtr bodyshape pwns all tho

    • 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.
