Recommended Posts

It's the new year and time to get out there and enjoy some driving and eating!!

We know everyone loves a good cruise, so thanks to your events organiser -Aggroman and others - we're going on one again.

This time, we're heading off from Thornleigh McDonalds, Hornsby, North-West of Sydney. We will be going through Galston George, then onto The Old Northern Road to finish at Wisemans Ferry for some lunch.

Okay so here's the details;

Date: Sunday 19th Feb, 2012

Meet at: Hornsby Maccas Thornleigh

Who: Anyone with any car (doesn't have to be a Skyline) but Skylines prefered :laugh:

What time should I get there: 10:00AM for a 10:30AM departure.

Lunch: 12ish

How Much: Gold coin donation, which will be collected at the start for a selected charity.

The route: http://maps.google.c...mra=ls&t=m&z=11

Start at Thornleigh Maccas on Central Ave, off Pennant Hills Road,

Head north and continue onto Old Pacific HWY,

Turn left onto Galston Road,

Then take Mid Dural Road,

Turn right onto Old Northern Road and take that all the way to Wisemans Ferry.

Duration: Expected Cruise time will be 1.5 hours one way.

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit.

There will be NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

We will be the most courteous users on the road, and we will not be doing ANYTHING to cause any disrepute for the club.

*Due to some LAC police attention on an unofficial cruise a while back down the same road, any 'suspect' (read modified) cars should tuck themselves somewhere between 3rd and 3rd-last in the convoy.

As with all SAU:NSW events, this cruise will run under a CAMS permit, permit no. 212/1902/05.

This will be another fun day, with the only cost a bit of fuel, and what ever you decide to eat and drink along the way in your car.

Bring a walky talkie if you have one, as we will sort out a channel to use at the start.

Weather forecast : Shower or two.

Sydney area

28 DEGREES

Partly cloudy. Isolated showers and the chance of isolated thunderstorms. Light winds tending north to northeasterly up to 20 km/h during the afternoon.

Looking forward to seeing you guys there!

In the calendar! Thanks Sean and Dave.

I would bring the 7 series but it probably won't make it through the gorge hairpins. :P

Keen but i live in Richmond so the meeting point is probably a further drive than wisemans itself :laugh:

would like to meet you guys in Wisemans for a chat over some lunch and a cold bevvy though :thumbsup:

Um...I live in Richmond lol! but I'm cruising over to Hornsby, because I like driving!

    • 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.
