Guys if i can get a hand stripping the rest of my R33 (there isnt much left) then i'm happy to donate my whole shell...

Cheers

Dave

with a whole shell you could do something like Age's mini cars :wub:

Hey guys.

Sila, that would be great. A reasonably straight car ready for playing with would be the bestest.

Have you got any pics of what you have left?

I'm sure there is somebody who can help get it from where it is to where it needs to be.... Does anybody know anyone who owns a big blue shiney tray truck?? :)

HELL YEAH!!!

I'm willing to tow the body shell to Provex free of charge, or infact any body shell that may need transport to complete the bbq.. oh, as long as its in Melb... :)

The car hasn't got much left in it,

The dash needs to come out, rear seats and the carpets

The diff and rear brakes need to be taken off and thats about it, once the dash id out ill pull out the loom and alarm etc etc... If you guys dont need the doors ill take them as well, the left hand side of the car is in perfect condition but the rear right guard needs a bit of beating...

if the trailer was big enough you could do a half cut from the from to the back... have the half boot as a cool box, the interior as storage, and the engine bay as the bbq??? etc

Just a thought anyway...

This bbq is starting to look interesting!!!

just so you all know, over the last 3 days we've been having our spray booth fitted. not too sure how long til it's passed for safety and operational, but i spoke to my brother in law and he said if you supply the paint, he can paint it. or even if any of you know of anyone who can paint cars etc just get them to come in and get to work :D

Thanks doxx & brother in-law, Very generous offer. We will keep you in mind once the project is nearing completion and requires paint. Where abouts is the booth located?

at my work in epping :)

epping being about 20minutes from the city, shouldn't be too hard to get it here.

Hey ppls.

We have confirmed that we will be using the half cut of Dave's car.

Please see this thread is you have a 1/4 panel, rear bar or tail light.

BASS OUT

Hey ppls,

We are discussing this at the committee meeting tonight and will inform people of what's going on tomorrow.

Needless to say, this is going to be the bestest BBQ trailer in the world!

    • 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.
