Theres this website.. it's called www.whereis.com.au. It's a great tool for directions and distances.  

You should try it sometime.

Are you upset over something erin? this is probably the first time I have seen these type of comments from yourself, or am I wrong in stating the obvious?

As for the meeting spot for GC people, I suggest the person that knows how to get to the final meeting spot from GC make the decision. :P Which aint rod or me btw... :)

WTF...

Erin's given you GC boys every bloody direction possible as well as a meeting spot, I've given you directions, hell even the guy from Sunshine Coast has given you directions...

Yet you still ask: Where are we meeting? Where do we go? What about here?

I don't see anybody saying thanks for the effort Erin... If she comes across harsh it's because "you guys" come across as dumbarse lost children...

Whoa now I've got my cranky pants on...

least half of yas have pants on, jay might not have pants on at all so be careful

i most probably wont be able to make it due to the skyrocketing cost of keeping a 33 on the road

it is simple, the meet point is in brisbane, so fill your petrol tank at yatala untill you cant fit anymore in, usually the nozzle clicks out so you know this has happened, once thats done unless your car chews fuel at a stupid rate for some reason you should have a range of approximatly 300 - 500klm depending on your driving style and habits.

We will be stopping at the royal brisbane hospital on the way to our destination for some drifting.  Remeber If ambulance comes, show some respect and do one last drift before giving way.

*sigh* that was such a good thread for those of you who remember.

I might come out.

    • 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.
