cruise details will be up tomorrow but the jist is the follows.

Meetup Penrith Panthers carpark (next to McDonalds) on Mulgoa Road, Penrith

Meetup at 4:30am to coffee up and say hi etc

Depending on if we need a stop halfway we will stop for 15 mins at Blackheath or Lithgow to stretch legs and bathroom

Leave 5am sharp and head up Great Western Hwy Just past Lithgow then jumping into Batshurst after 2hrs of hopefully no traffic

then ill lead everyone into the designated parking spots and we can all go get setup opposite pit straight and enjoy the festivities

Sounds good Dave

Ok guys

I have just been informed that entries are closing tomorrow so if you are yet to get your ticket you should do so now! CLICK ME FOR TICKETS!

Also for those on facebook the motorex event page is here: https://www.facebook.com/events/1377352269172957/ if you want to check out any of the cars etc

Cruise is being done now and should be up within the hour.

For cruise details see post no 2 at the start of this thread on page 1

Mine has arrived already, I have added a phone number to call should you have any inquiries to your tickets,

Will be a big registered post envelope with 2 tickets printed out and a map

Sorry guys, but there are no black SAU caps left, they ran out ages ago and I've been slack (terrible excuse, I know... :( ) and not updated the Merchandise thread.

The problem with putting a new order in is that the minimum batch was of 100, and they took ages to get rid of them, which is money that the club is just sitting on for years... I am in the process of looking for cheaper, quicker sources, though - if anyone has any leads, please let me know!

    • 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.
