u could build it for less than that...

No you couldn't.

That kind of build would cost well over $25 and that's without the Gearbox. The other items included at the bottom are worth a mint also. I would suspect around $30k for everything without checking up on prices.....maybe a tad more

want me to show u my excel spreadsheet with all the prices?

The OSGiken RB31's only cost me $18k lol. Anyone want one of those?

Regarding cost also.....For me to do for a customer what Noel did to his car (not including wheels, paint or brakes) You would get a small amount of change from $20k. That's a full forged and studded engine with all the bells on the sides and a decent amount of head work.

ACT what the f**k is that.

is all NSW down there...unless you're a mexican..... :rofl:

i had a dream about you shane.....you were wearing a C4 jacket and looked like a terrorist..and i shot you....it was fun, then you moved...so i shot you again and again... :laughing-smiley-014:

i like mexican tacos..

haha weird dreams..

shane is too pale and skinny to be a national threat.

atleast he swallows...

indeed he does..

is he on xtube.com

I'm off to do some stuff. Fark sitting around at home. Lunch, pick up the rest of my tools from work, buy some puter gear, get parts for random friend from Repco, call DR Chilton and see whether Rohan's shiznit is ready to be picked up, organise getting fences done, order some parts from Japan, pat the dogs, feed the tortoise.......anything else? I hope I remember it all

thats pretty damn expensive

Well for 18k id be doing something different... Like fitting a gas turbine :)

u could build it for less than that...

Ebay :rofl:

Dont forget to have a beer, lunch beer, afternoon beer and dinner beer...

3 main food groups all include beer... Hi5

I could build it for less then that....shotgun own pistons rods and almost everything else!

Our cnc machines have turned up at work! Say hello to michaels custom skyline bits! New company forming shortly.

    • 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.
