LOL... Farken R33, money vortex. I know the feeling, some how at night your brain keeps telling you to spend more money on it for no reason.

You going to All Jap Day? 

 

Also there is merit to @BK's post, however might not apply to Nismo clutches out of the box.

For context, my current shitbox once upon a time also ran a Nismo slave, paired with an NPC 10" carbotic. Long story short, I needed a new clutch and was too lazy to do it myself againn so I got Western Clutch in St Marys to supply and fit a new clutch.

When Scott at Western Clutch supplied and fitted his modified Xtreme ceramic clutch (bends the clutch puks forward to allow gentle engagement and also driveability at low speed) he advised an OEM slave to be installed to allow the clutch to fully disengage as the Nismo slave has a reduced range of motion. 

The same clutch is still in my car (9 years old), been through 3x motors and seen power from stock all the way to 438kW, albeit it is starting to slip if you don't let it fully engage before hitting the fun pedal.

haha nice, some faith mine will still hold up for a few more track days.

It grinds 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th if I try and shift over 7k rpm, hence you see my track videos I'm fully granny shifting LOL

correct i have ducted cold air straight to two 40mm pod filters . we tested on a dyno airbox on and off and not difference so 0 restriction 

Nice. Any chance you have some pics? I’m keen to try get my stock one in for some more OEM looks..

They sure do, great for when you need to chuck a sickie 😅

 

You should definitely give the beast a squirt on the track, great to enjoy the car

    • 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.
