Hey mate,

Did a really quick knock up for you. It looks shit but it might give you an idea of what looks better.

Personally I like the look of the gold ones.

sweeet! thanks for taking the trouble bro. and yea i agree the gold looks better. ideally i wud want these post-30915-1162390530.jpgon there but theyre just a tad over my budget. lol

:ninja:

ok well i have decided to steer clear of blingy chrome rims and go for a more subtle style. soo i have narrowed my choices down to the apec apache or the ANZ velvet (thanks jaker34 4 the idea). the pics r below and i also managed to get a side shot of my car as it is now. so if someone could help a brother out and chop, chop, chop it up. any help is greatly appreciated

thanks ctjet. i checked them out and they are indeed very sexy.

anyhoo i got tired of waitin and decided to give it a shot myself and do a couple of chops. prob is i only have ms paint and only took bout 20 mins to do both. therefore they look horrible (imo) :laugh:

here they r:post-30915-1166541540.jpgpost-30915-1166541502.jpg

i prefer the velvets to the apaches from this but i rekon a better chop help me decide.

it be going with the gold set, they look much sexier... give the illusion of high cost

and if you want a good set of rims cheap look up these

lenso GT-05, in 19's with tread cost $2400... they look unreal in person

    • ..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.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
