i might come on this if some gold coast ppl want to meet somewhere closer/user friendly, as i barely know where im going around here. As for UHF's **Thinks back to noosa cruise** Cyrus: My fuels not gay Charly: The fuel gauge Cyrus: My fuels not gay Charly: THE FUEL GAUGE Cyrus:....ok you get the point.....all those who were on this cruise know what im talking about :rofl:

I think we've all learnt by now that Cryus should not be allowed to be in control of the UHF. At any time. Maybe he can start off by being in control of a small ball of some description, and progress from there when he's shown he can play with the ball without spamming constantly!@#!@$

looks like i wont be going  :wassup:

Pfft.. sif your one... :rofl:

As to bp coomera.. hrmm.. if we are meeting there I suggest a total of 10 min, everyone clear out.. I dont really want my car to be marked yet, if you get my drift. bp coomera brings back too many memories....... ie. the one where the DOT ute turned up..... :)

yatala bp or the aussie place is fine for me and 7:30 sounds good....... :/

:) Hahahaha that was a good day!

Agreed... I thought he was getting better but the xmas lights cruise brought all the bad memories flooding back...

I think the gold coast people need to decide on a meeting spot! Or I'll make one for you :rofl: Yatala Pies at 7:30 leaving at 7:45. There ya go, head up the freeway, take the gateway motorway exit, follow along until you get to the Wynnum Road exit. Turn left at the bottom onto Wynnum Road, follow along until you see a big shopping centre carpark on the left, turn left at the intersection with the BP and Red Rooster at opposite corners. Turn second left AFTER the first set of lights and that's the Bunnings carpark.  

There you go, all done. I might meet you's at Cannon Hill, depends on Andrew.

I mapped out an exact route and meeting times/places and you gold coast people still can't organise yourself. What's the difference between meeting in the yatala pies carpark rather than the bp carpark. I'd prefer the yatala pies carpark, less attention from prying eyes.

Stop saying other locations or you are going to confuse the **** out of people and there is going to be 3 main meeting points on the gold coast for people and no ones going to turn up cause everyone will go to a different spot and be there alone.

how long is the cruise gonna be?? am i likely to need multiple tanks of fuel?? if so i might be outties

This is not a cruise.

This is a meet and greet/ Photo opportunity.

We may trave somewhere, but it's not a "cruise".

looks like i wont be going  :wassup:

I said don't bring Skanks! :Pimp:

So technically you can come if you are a Skank and you drive yourself!

Just dont bring any with you. :P:(:)

This is a joke and is not meant to offend anyone, skank or otherwise.

ill see if my mate can come take some mega high res photos

see what happens...

probably have to storm carindale carpark if we do for adequate lighting

either way there will be video :)

btw, am i allowed to bring a mate whos got a hilux with rb20det in it?

depending if its on the road or not, and weather or not i can controll him :wassup:

he goes a little crazy sometimes :burnout:

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
