just got an email from the Short Circuit Motor Sport Assn announcing dates for the Preston Peak Wines Sprint Challenge and Short Circuit Touring Car Series at Carnell Raceway Stanthorpe)this year:

May 28-19

Oct 29-30

Carnell is a short circuit track, 1.1km of tight twisty technical stuff. Very good fun. Suits AWD cars very well as they can put power down out of the tight corners. Also gives the cars that handle well a good chance.

There's 2 events running in conjunction with each other -

1)The Sprints are run to proper (ie QLD :P) Supersprint rules. 4 cars on the track (because its such a short track), starting in pairs from a standing start. Run 4 laps. Results are based on the total time for the 4lap session. Timing starts when you leave the start line. You can either race head to head with the other car, or wait a few seconds then go.

Categories are as per CAMS Manual, but sensibly they don't enforce restrictors for turbo cars in Improved Production - at least they didn't when I ran there in 2008 & 2009. Its very laid back.

2)The Short Circuit Touring Cars is proper racing. Short Circuit rules & regs here:

this will give you a bit of an idea what the sprints are like in a very fast WRX:

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.

      ..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.
