Thanks for the support guys. AS many of you know I'm an avid GT-R fanatic and I've always wanted an "R's Meeting" style event in Australia. I'm hoping this brings the GT-R community together and it can be made an annual event. It everyone gets behind it I'm sure we can!

Thanks again

Gtr even

main theme is drag racing

Lol

I do believe something is wrong here

Sydney Dragway was the only venue of the two we could get a date for. There is a lot of people who like drag racing their GT-R, but we also have motorkahna, launch pad and dyne as well as display. I like circuit too, but anything with GT-Rs is fun for me

Welcome to SAU!

I believe for this event (which is something we have been invited to be part of and is not a SAU NSW event), you'll be welcome to attend however entry is for GTRs only. If you drive your Skyline down you'll be in the carpark area. This may be something Motive DVD will consider but is not currently our call.

Any of our SAU NSW events however, we'd happily welcome you in any car you choose to bring with you.

That is correct. obviously anyone can come spectate ( $25 at gate or $20 online ticket) but the entries is for GT-Rs only at this stage

Yea good to see someone doing something

Any progress on yours mate?

When we do the direct deposit what do we put as the reference?

Perhaps SAU and your name? I'm not sure how many characters it allows. I think I used Paypal which provides details.

    • 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.
