what sorta power you got? had a dyno run?

This will be my first, so if I can get 13.3 I'll be grateful  :D

dan_the_man: can the helmet be open faced or does it have to be enclosed?

310ps @ all 4 wheels on 1.0 bar of boost. Has a mines rom though (in the standard ecu), and it's starting to become very obvious that it does not suit the aussie climate at all :blink: I raced a completely stock R32 GTR wed night, he couldn't get out of the 14's, I did a pretty lousy launch and he doesn't launch at all, I was on low boost (0.75bar) did a 14.0 he did a 14.5 and managed to beat me past the finish line. I had him until 3rd then I dunno wtf happened but he just reeled me in and it was a really close battle over the line!! My best time on low boost is a 13.7...

But yeah....stuff like that....My car is pretty stock, has a GReddy pipe kit (in the engine bay), 3" exhaust with hiflow cat and 3.5" from the cat back....Mechanical 1.5 way lsd in the rear...and a boost controller. I didn't think it was a splendid time for the car....I was chasing a high 12, or atleast a 13 flat. As soon as the night set in and it started to get chilly, it just retarded more and more every run I had to put the boost right down, 0.8 bar was the highest I could run without it over fuelling :P

It is set to run a little rich at the top anyway, because the engine was rebuilt earlier in the year and it was a bit of a safety measure to make sure I didn't do any damage. Oh yeah my highest mph was 102.(???)

Topaz - it can be open faced but has to meet Australian Safety standards (AS 1698, Snell SA90, BS6658-85) - so no yellow stack hats.

Also - keep it on topic guys. We dont want to have to sift though conversation about dyno runs to find out who actually wants to come.

Hey we only need one more sucker to join :P

BTW, I do mean 1 as you forgot to add Rhianne I beleive

seen as though we should have the 20 we need early this week, should a date be organised?, I am guessing also that it will be a Sunday

Woop ass wednesdays are on.... wednesdays :P

After Christmas would be easiest as alot of people are too busy before Christmas. This also gives us enough time to get a definate booking at the motorplex.

:P I wish i'm stayin in aussie for those few mths. Oh wells. Anyway, just to check for future use. When u mean Australian Safety standards (AS 1698, Snell SA90, BS6658-85). I've got a helmet back in SG that i use for go karting. It's a 1/2 face helmet that is approved for use as a motor cycle helmet. Brand is hyper racing i beleive. How do i check if it meets Australian Safety Standards?
Our own lane = a lane out the back we line up in before going to drag. We come up against anyone.

No that means we will racing each other as they let a 1 of the 6 lanes through at a time usually getting only one run before its the next lanes turn.

How is this different to a normal Wednesday night?

Cool!

My car should definitely be there then. and PSIKO might have his up and running too so he can bring that along :D

Sorry my bad... Yes we race each other

Different because with a normal wednesday night you line up with everyone else and race randoms :D

    • 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.
