  • 2 weeks later...

update on my covers:

for those that remember, i bought a set just before the group buy and have now had them on my car for about a month..

they have all ironed out their creases and are perfect still..

great quality and look absolutely stunning

i've had about 15 people comment and say its the best interior they've seen on an R32.. and they all thought it was leather, even after touching and sitting in it!!

just some more to keep you occupied while waiting :D

i have just been speaking to Ultimate, the covers are half done, they are hoping to finish all by 1st september and dispatch 2nd September..

Awesome, sounds good to me - lets hope they can get them dispatched by the 1st of Sept, as the 2nd is a Saturday, but all in all we should have them by the 6/7th of September.

Sounds good to me, they had alot of covers to make, glad they got them done quickly. Cheers for the update JetDat, talk soon.

I can't wait to see how it goes for you guys. Hope you don't mind me posting in your confirm thread, considering the gb is done.

I just wnated to see how it looked, how hard it was to install etc.

I figure, even if i have to pay a bit more, at least i'll know if it's good or shit.

haha I can pick mine up even on a Saturday!

Yay.

1-2 September for me :(

If they send it out on Saturday, I don't think they will be sent out by AustPost until Monday - that was my point.

Aust post does pick ups from the boxes on sundays apparently.

Also interstate delivery with austpost is 1-6 days generally.

You'd hope that you'd be getting a courier for 30$!!!

I use them all the time at my work, and an insterstate box only costs around $10

    • 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.
