I just had a look through the entries - is there any reason in particular that so many fast SA Skylines are not running at the Nationals? There are far more entries from Vic than SA - very perplexing.

If you have not entered yet, entries are nearly full and there are only days left.

Get on it.

Im doing my hair that weekend, sorry :P

Oh, you said fast didnt you

/hides in the corner

Just throwing it out there but this also falls on the same weekend as the schoolies festival.

I'd very much like to do the car show but living at Victor Harbor I dont exactly want to take my car out that weekend.

What happened to your old one Matt? :(

It wasn't powerful enough :D So I decided to step up to a RB25/30 with E85 specific compression in mind, and a nice little FP HTA GT3586R hanging off the side.

You can leave it at my place if you want for a few days.

My car won't be complete due to my injuries, and i cant see myself even going at this rate. Really quite frustrating.
If i can get healed up in time does any one mind taking me to the show n shine? I'm not insured to drive at the moment.

where is this taking place??

Friday at Mallala (race track)

Saturday at Collingrove Hillclimb (near Angaston in the Barossa)

Saturday night at Mawson Lakes

Sunday at Glenelg

Full details are at http://www.saunationals.com/event_info_entry.php

Is there a cut-off date? Couldn't see one. My Car goes in for new turbo combo/tuning on Monday, waiting to see what the aftermath of it is.....

You big girl. :nyaanyaa:

Spectators - 100% will not be charging for spectators. It's a club level event, pits are fully open etc.

I don't know how other clubs/events think that's remotely fair to charge. So come/go as you please on all days!

There is - It was today, however there have been a couple track day pull outs. So will leave it open till COB Monday.

Dinner - it's a full sit down dinner, raffle prizes you get buy a ticket for etc. Great Value for $40 entry really pretty sure over 100 people already in :)

The Vic crew are getting set and ready, some spent the weekends on their cars and ready to fly the flag :thumbsup:

    • 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.
