Think it was you I was following then at first in that small group that got lost.. The commodore with us was a bit of a tard doing burnouts around roundabouts.. At least after getting lost when we got on the right track again we were with the other SAU folk, including the line of 4 or 5 R34 GTR's..

looks like a good day. Cant wait till i get my p's soon then i can come to things like this.

love the quality of SAU rides.

Ive seen this awsome 34GTR before on JDMST but never on SAU, is he on SAU???

A few more pics...........

Too many idiots, so probably not going again, but we had a skyline group going and that went well...

was awesome going with your group of gtr's + wrx.. all awesome looking cars

the wrx also has a brake light out if anyone knows who's car that is :)

cant wait for the next Putty road cruise!

Yea that was me u prob followed.. R32 wit GTS70Y lol... i was following that r34 white gtt and commodore and thought they know the route and i was like wtf they took the exit on vic rd? And yea he did a mini burn out or power slide on roundabout while doing a u turn P plate cant behave properly...and we r lucky we got back to the cruise convoy with the GTR's and rx7 on lane cove rd along wit that ferrari...then it fell apart after maccas.. coz everone went diff ways..coz i end up goin through old nth rd-wiseman ferry way wit SS ute and 1 GTST R33 s2 but got there to the windsor boat ramp but we a bit late..ppl started leaving.. =(

Yeah that was me, i was following you in the r33. if you look at the map on the first page i think we went the right way in the end, we just got held up at that maccas and know body knew where to go.

Defected for being too low even though its 130mm , he used a mobile phone to measure wtf ? 1 tyre that had 20% tread on it at the rear and exhaust -.- easy to clear just had nothing better to do he was pulling over everyone...

I asked him why he decided to pull me over out of all the Skylines convo went something like this

Me : So just wondering how come you pulled me over out of everyone

Highway Patrol : Its because you were last should of kept up with everyone.

Me : ............... :domokun::domokun::domokun::domokun::domokun::domokun::spank::spank::spank::spank::spank::rant::rant::rant::rant::rant::rant::rant::rant:

overall didn't let that ruin the fun ! Excellent fun with terry and the GTR's i was cruising with up the mountains and some good scenery ! hope to see you guys again at mac pass !

I forgot to mention that there were some idiots that were ruining the cruise for everyone.

I just had a quick look at the map.. we went further way up..lol i heard sumbody say wiseman ferry just outside maccas near the roundabout and got me??? u mean the boat ramp??....i just end up following the SS lol.. yea we got there in the end =) the route we took was aight.. longer but aight..except the slow cars we over took along the way..=)

that sux mate, good luck getting it cleared up, shame they didnt pick on one of the guys being wankers instead.

i would have liked to go up to the lookout up the mountains, had too much on today. hopefully will be going to mac pass though :thumbsup:

Was a nice day minus p platers in commodores......

I didnt realise how dirty my car was haha :( captured nicely in one of the photo's (the black 180sx)

Was an enjoyable day though!

Sorry to hear about anyone who got defected :(!

    • 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.
