^^because everyone wants to say they bet a skyline lol very rare

even if your doing under the speed limit not accelerating or breaking any laws and you see a police car you feel a little nervous lol

when your in a parking lot and people are around you try and open the car with central locking as far back as possible so people notice that you are heading to the skyline LOL

when there is a slight bump in the road you slow down to like 5 km/hr so nothing scraps

lol they were good ones.

wen u keep the empty boxes from every mod u do

wen u do a straight throw exhaust just to enjoy the note a little more

wen u loose ya licence

wen u loose a gf coz u spend more time with ur car

wen u have sleepless nights wen u car is at a garage gettin work done on it

when you wash your car with bottled water

when you have no other items in the car to keep weight down

when your bored you go for a drive that leads nowhere for an hour

when you dont have money but still go shopping for parts

when your CC is maxed

when you feel guilty when you thrash it because you think it has feelings

when you sling shot ball bearings at a magpie at work because it sits on your mirrors and shits down your door...TRUE!

when your glad your missus is going out with the girls so you can go for a drive in piece with your one true happy place

when your cars not feeling well, your not feeling well

..... when you constantly lose to SR20s. :)

..... when every nearby Commodore driver thinks he's the new Brock when driving near you

..... when you constantly check your rear vision mirror when something flashes eg sun reflection off a window

..... when you refuse to drive on weekends or pub holidays and walk/hitch a ride with ur gf 'just incase'.

..... when you are constantly surfing SAU for the next idea for a mod.

..... when you think ponder several times a day how you are going to spend your next pay check on the 'line.

..... when you wave at other Skylines, hoping to hell he's from SAU and that you don't look like a weirdo instead.

..... when you complain to yourself there's no public post about a cruise on the weekend.

..... when you think you're unbeatable on the street. (same goes for any enthusiast lol)

..... when you are READING this topic!!

....when other nissan (such as 180s n 200s) TRY to catch up to you by speeding when your weaving through traffic and miles ahead of them

....when your outside work having a ciggie and you catch 4 asian guys peeking thru the drivers side windows

... when your outside work having another ciggie and you notice the car infront/behind of you is a tad too close so you check for dents/scrapes

    • 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.
