Good day. My neck is burnt, damn.

Ditto! I'm on some antibiotics that clearly state 'Don't stay in bright sunlight for extended periods...".,so I'm as much to blame! Real good to see the SAU contigient show up in force. Everything was well catered for,from imported 30's, a Veilside 32(missed catching you up,J), GTS-T's in all trims, my fave' Stagea, 4 doors, the most gorgeous Oz delivered GT-R, a meancing 34 GT-R...Damn,I wanted to cry that mine is so far from being driveable!

Great to catch many of you up;you've given me more inspiration to fight the good fight and keep on with my planned buildup!

Was Good to see such a big turnout, and put some names to faces. That blue r32 gtr was just nuts. Great R34 GTR as well. Great day, managed not to get really sunburnt :), learnt my lesson from marques in the park.

Let's just call him 'Bob',shall we? And his 33 GT-R is very well set up for motorsport stuff...Those that have loitered around Integra over the years will have seen it(although it's now a Melbourne tuning house's job...)

Yep, was a good day out. :worship: Gave me another push to actually tinker with my car :D

Good to see aus specs really schmick 32 GTR, the 34 GTR and Rumble (whoever owns her). I dunno what's inside rumble, but it could be anything really, I just really dig that colour. I think I saw it at Ed's having some rather involved work done.

My neck and ears got completely cooked too :\

Ah is he the older guy who owns the silver S2 R33 GTR that actually has the Xeon headlights (meant to only be on S3's).

That exhaust was crazy (RUMBLE) could fit your head in it. Also SL33KY can you post up a pic of your sun visor, want to see if the one i found on Ebay are the same :worship:

Pics soon, only have a few from memory

so lazy, anyway these were the few pics i took. Decided about 20 mins before heading home that i should propably take some pics :P

Hottest car in our lot, talking about the one on the left, my camera couldnt handle that much awesome so i had to settle with a third of it, the 34 is pretty decent aswell...i guess

I know exactly what you mean Jayce! I would have sat there and shared a box of tissues with you knowing that I could have had my car there!

It was great to catch up with everyone and meet the some of the new guys! I haven't been to a meet since the '04 x-mas cruise.

Will endeavour to make it to more outings and I'll try and catch up with the guys that go to the museum on a Friday night once I get the gtr back.

Saw some gorgeous vehicles which have obviously had lots of time, love and a fair amount of cash put into them.

And of course, awesome to see another aus delivered 32!

Will post up some piccies tonight when I get home.

Cheers,

Brad

Alrighty guys..

They have been shrunk for the forums but I have the original pics which are 3264x2448 at 1-5mb per pic. If you want them original just PM me with your email addy, the pic you want and I'll email them to you.

Cheers,

    • 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.
