Am organising to do up a shirt for my wife when she finally gets the 'R back. Now she's gone and picked out her shirt, and I have the artwork (vector) for the logo. Costs are mainly in the setup fee at $27.50 plus the $6.60 per embroided badge/logo. The more people I get, the more the setup price can be divided.

Now is there anyone else interested in this. The logo will be as per attached so better off if people have a white background. Will be doing this in the next couple of weeks.

Cheers

Hehehe. Yeah maybe, but have you ever done a track event in Spring/Summer where you have to where a long sleeve black shirt. Absolute murder. You get stinking hot real quick especially with the windows up (otherwise dust gets in when you come off the track ; ).

Leilani's selected a nice white long sleeve number just incase she does end up doing some form of track event/driver training.

Oh, BTW. It will be the onus of you to provide the shirt that it's embroided on. This is not included in the costs mentioned above - but I'm sure you all understood that anyway.

Hey guys,

I just bought a GTR Shirt from Nissan last week. It's a full button up polo type in black with the gtr emblem on the breast with 2 white pin stripes down either side. REALLY NICE.. Only $48...

Might be keen on getting a t shirt done with your logo too....

Completely up to your Rob, I'll be going ahead with it anyway, so if you've already got a white or light coloured shirt, you're more than welcome to put in. I'll prolly also get a long and short sleeve shirt done.

Cheers

Well, I finally had these done last week. They came out an absolute treat too. Unlike the shirts from Northside, they're using the "correct" GT-R logo (hehe, just stirring) taken from a Nissan brochure (PDF). Total cost to have each shirt done was about $7.15. Cost $50 cash to have 7 shirts embroidered.

Cheers

Brendan

    • 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.
