Hi Sydney Stagea owners!

I know your out there!

A lot of the people we have met up with over the last few SAU meets have been keen for a Stagea meet, because we haven't had one in quite a while. I am a little in two minds about this because I don't really want to turn it into a "what if we hold it on.....day" thread. So I picked a day one month away, and hopefully people will have time to shuffle things around, get shifts off or whatever (I know a few of us are shift workers.) So, the details!!!!

Date: Saturday 23rd June 2012

Meet at: Silverwater Park, off Silverwater road (carpark on the western side of the bridge) I thought this is central to most of us.

Who: C34, M35 owners and anyone else who wants to tag along incl Skodas

What time should I get there: 4:30pm for a 5pm Departure.

Destination: Newport Beach

Route:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?saddr=Silverwater+Park,+Silverwater,+New+South+Wales&daddr=Church+Point,+New+South+Wales+to:Newport+Beach,+New+South+Wales&hl=en&ll=-33.735761,151.244659&spn=0.46995,0.617294&sll=-33.698065,151.216164&sspn=0.235078,0.308647&geocode=FZTd-_0dqtgACSHQ0_H5aH0BDw%3BFZud_v0d6GwECSlBhP8beFMNazFgsTIWaH0BBQ%3BFUN5_v0dqvkECSGZVHj9DU8Fiykp5J5iSVMNazG0miZKD1QaVQ&oq=church+point&t=h&mra=ls&z=11

Directions: We head north onto Silverwater road, Turn right onto Victoria Rd and Left onto Lane Cover road (I expect the traffic though here might be pretty heavy, but we'll meet up on the way to re-group). Pass through Ryde, St Ives, and continue to Terry Hills. There we will turn off and head down McCarrs Creek Rd which is a short stint through National Park. Back out to Mona Vale, and up to Newport Beach, where we will park in the Surf Club carpark (which is massive) At Newport you can get a range of take aways, chicken shop, Pizza, Fish&Chips, Thai/chinese etc etc.

I figure we have an Early dinner for those with kids so they can head off early if needs be. Or let the kids play in the sand whatever...

From Newport, we can head up to Palm Beach and chill out there, or if people are feeling energetic, we can make a run up the Old Pac highway to the North of Sydney. It'll be up to the mood on the night.

On this cruise we will ALL be sticking to the speed limit. Remember we represent both the Club and the Model. We don't want unneeded attention from the Authorities.

There will be NO DRIFTING.

NO BURNOUTS

NOTHING ILLEGAL!

Lastly, I know your all out there, we had a great turn out to the 15th Ann. Cruise, Come and meet up. We are a friendly bunch! Last meet we had lots of M35s so this time I want to see lots of you C34 people come out. Doesn't matter if your mod'd or Stock- bring it out.

Hope to see you there.

Ask Questions, I'll make up Answers.

    • 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.
