i had a quick look through the thread didnt see it brought up. but does anyone see what i see in the r33's numberplate

I dunno? I can see me in there taking the pic? is there something I'm missing? did I have my fly unzipped?

well I usually rock on with my cock on, so I thought a change was in order :D

dmac, yes will be making another trip sometime mid year. not sure when exactly yet, I can be a tad last minute with the whole planning thing. will certainly be back in november 08 too.

so come on guys, what's in the number plate? is this like one of those magic eye pictures? do I have to squint to see it?

I dont know how you do it on such short notice i strugle to not go out on the weekend with out being organized i spose its from living in the country and getting home from the city at 4 or 5 is just about inpossible

Excellent Pics mate. Looks like you have managed to experience some dream holidays in Japan! Some great handywork with the camera there too! I've noticed alot of you expressing interest in the things beer baron has shown us. My advice... Go to Japan and do it.. A few years ago i decided to go to Japan. I did, bought a 32 gtr, toured round Japan in it, did it up at all the workshops, track days, touge, drifts and it was a dream. I now have it sitting in my garage in Melbourne as a reminder of my time there! Japan is not a difficult place to meet people, they are more welcoming then you will find anywhere else. So sell up and get moving!

  • 2 months later...

sure mate. Now that the forum does auto-resize it shouldn't be a problem. :)

I have a lot more photos still but haven't had time or motivation to upload but if I have a quiet one this weekend I may do some. it's good fun going through them, lots of good memories :yes:

hey richard great thread and pics!

i wonder why you dont setup your own blog for something like this? integrate a photogallery on it..load up picasa on your PC..let it automatically upload/resize images..but then i suppose you wont have these sort of threads going haha

im also looking to get a 40D..but think money spent better on lenses..i have a 300D still..looking at a 70-200mm IS 2.8 sometime soon.

was it you that I met briefly at PI?? with the silver s13? i was with ferni and the S2k

hi mate, yep that was me :D

yeah I've kept on trucking with the 400D. I kind of f**ked it a bit on the way back to melbourne, I left it in the boot and when I pulled it out there was a nice big mark on the LCD. D'oh!

as for setting up the blog, yeah I probably should. I never really intended it to get this big, I just wanted to share some pics and stories mainly with you guys. plus I'm a bit noob with blog/picasa etc. All I know is, start thread, load to imageshack, link it in. :D

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
