  • 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

    • 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.
    • ..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.
