Gonna be a great couple of days. Good variety of cars in the lineup! http://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.504017609719791.1073741830.253752048079683&type=3

Brendan even though you ran low boost last year I was heavily impressed by your 34, will have to have another ride in it again this year. :) I'm working on getting some cameras from Sony that will measure some race data with the footage, pending if the GPS will get signal out there.

Hey, Brandon. You have booked yourself a seat, mate! And wait until you see what my good mate Danny at Garage101 has done with the tuning for E85, with a Haltech ethanol analyser in the fuel line. It is almost scary on full boost and the booze! I have also got my HKS DMR camera system set up now so if you can use any of that from the two camera view, you are welcome! Definitely learned a lot last year and the car will be sooo much better this year!

Should be a great weekend! :D

Awesome sounds good! As long as it's 1080P resolution I should be able to use it. If it has an option to change the frame rate set it to 25 frames. :)

Don't forget about the Racewars Dyno Day on March 8 guys. $50 for 2 runs. 2WD dyno only.

This is how my Saturday ended :(

Bart, did you get a good 1,000m run in?

Ant Scali took the event out running 306 km/h at 17.7 seconds in his 32R, AMAZING!

Was a awesome time!

Was urs the one that did the drive shaft?

Indeed it did, so much for going faster than last year :(

Great fun! Achieved 251 km/hr on the third run which put me 25th out of 83 cars that attempted the VMax run. Not as much as I had hoped, but learnt a lot. So - more power, less granny shifts, etc. for next year. Still, I doubt there were many cars, if any, ahead of me that were daily drivers!

As usual, the hospitality in Country WA was fantastic. The people at the place I stayed in Dowerin were great and all the local folk who came to talk to me at the event were really complimentary about the car. I have raised over $1,700 for the Children's Leukaemia and Cancer Research Foundation at the event. Anyone wishing to donate can go to:

I will have to get the original piccies from the photographers! Great talking to some of you there.

Cheers,

Brendan.

Captain Flatbrim it was a bit of a balls up with my entry and I only noticed once results were put up , Down as #73 but had #72 sent to me , results page had Jai Philp down as #72 but he was #10 so no idea on times or speeds :( , No idea what crack they were on but it looks to be some quality stuff :)

Took some volunteers for runs , got chopped , handed out some chop , socialised with some pretty cool dream boats Friday n Saturday nights n seen BOOBS n ASS :)

      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.
