Sau:nsw - Monthly Meet February - Sunday Morning Cruise & Breakfast


Recommended Posts

Great shots everyone. Love that shot of the line of cars on the Sea Cliff Bridge, Ciaron.

The diversity of cars on the day was great to see (partly thanks to yours truly :P ) but some very nice Skylines and GT-Rs in the group.

T.g. no evos *cough...

...must be all broke.

Your expertise in photography has gone up in leaps and bounds Matt.

I was going to say, a cruise with no Evo's turning up :wacko:

Mine is indeed, broken. :(

Looked like a great day, shame I couldn't make it. Hopefully my car will be up and running soon and be ready by the next meet!

And mine might be a head gasket as I found out to-day.

Is it just me; or can you hear the Skyline guys laughing?

There's a few guys who take pics on OPH; generally they load shots to FB pages, and you can pull them off their wall.

Some will give/sell full size image files to you if you ask nicely.

I've ordered my N1 pics off John Keogh thanks Dale.

I'd say he's got a good business - and in fresh air too.

John will be putting pics of the bmw as well tonight. He said next time we have a meet he would be happy to come along and take some snaps for his portfolio. I have his contact details which I can forward to the organisers.

Hi Guys,

My name is John Keogh and I am Keoghs Vision Photography - "Taking photo's, that's what I enjoy".

If you went through the National Park on Sunday I may have snapped you, Sandy Arun has already seen the photos on my site http://www.keoghsvision.com.au/nissans.html

I am always looking for photo opportunities and it appears you guys like to get your pride and joys photographed. Well why not get me involved, I can ride out to a good spot on your drive and capture your cars.

Yes I charge but not a real lot, coz I want you to buy the photos and for me I am always improving my photography skills so its a win win for both of us.

The shot below is one of my new ideas, I know this photo would blow up to 3.5 metres wide, Image your Nissan on the club house wall.

Hi John,

Thanks for making the effort and joining up to SAU - welcome!

For upcoming events and schedules, you can keep a lookout on our events section (NSW) of the forums and alternatively you can join us on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/saunsw

Thanks again for the pics. As you probably read, you gave us all a fright when we saw you on Sunday hehe. Now that we are acquainted, we'll make sure to pose for the pic :)

Cheers.

Raj.

I'm surprised I don't look petrified in this photo, thinking that I've been done for speeding (again)!

    • 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.
