I have my brand new digi cam corder Roy. Has a bullet cam as well for some different angles. Had already planned on whoring it around at Winton for anyone that wants it to try and get some good footage together for MAS.

Still waiting for the master cylinder to be rebuilt, before I can shoe horn it into the car...

So I'm not sure if I'll make it, only cause at those speeds, trying to stop with your dunlop volleys through the floor, your feet start to burn after a while....

I'm in. Getting RE55's tomorrow. Sent my form in yesterday. I'll bring my in car camera mount for people to use too.

Roy can you organise racebrakes to have everything sitting at the front counter and paid for? If so I can probably swing by and collect it.

Jarrod - I'm guessing as far as the SAU championship goes you are still in standard class? Your not running semi's or bigger turbs right?

Looking forwards to seeing the S4. Hopefully it has a bit more success than the B4 at the last round!

Not to spectate, competeing, but will be leaving around 5-530.

Andy, yeah no rubber, rb25 turbo. Not really bigger, well not much...

The s4 hasnt competed before, he's new aswell. So yeah, oh and if you could remeber to bring the membership forms for him and also cams forms for both of us that would be great. :)

Me, Me!!

Me, Me!!

Looks like I'm not gonna make it. Always like driving at the home track. Looks like I'm not gonna have the parts in time. Ah well. It gives me two months to get the car ready before the next championship round. Unless I can borrow a car......

Passenger Session WILL be on. But there is a self imposed ban on Snowman partaking in them. The threat of being charged is just not worth it - for a while at least.

Tom (and anyone else) there will be heaps of spots left. This will be a pretty small field - which is great as it means you will get a lot of track time.

Ok, paid for brake pads, faxed in entry, have to swap over to my olf Re540 fronts because of the flat spot from Sandown...and car looks to be easily enough sorted.

Fark by the time i go to Wakefield at the end of the month this is going to have been a $1400 month on track days:)

Awww I was looking forward to having a ride in the dragon ;) If you change your mind I'll still be up for a ride mate!!!

Geez Troy your pulling out all the stops to go to as many vic track days as you can before heading off into the sunset :P You going for Tonys (WRX) record for the most track days in a year or what??!!!

    • 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.
