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

I'll come down to have a look around

I believe we might end up with some friends from R32 GTR Australia joining us too :)

Where are all you GTR owners hiding, get on board!

were hiding in our garages with our broken cars :(

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.

    • 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.
