hay buddy how r ya

just a word of warning the journey u intend on embarking on is no small feat in fact its f**ken huge man.

ive driven around most of australia over the years. ive driven from brisbane to melbourne non stop and its a 22hr drive.

but the big trip from sydney to adelaide then to alice is huge ive gone melb - adelaide - alice and it took a few days and the coditions are harsh. u r stupid if u think ur doing it in a cabriolet, get alot a lot of maps and a gps as well and take heaps of water because it is straight desert and a big jerry can wouldnt go a stray either be really careful and make sure the car u are doing it in is capable ok

cheers

hey mates

i ve done the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide. we didnt start from sydney, we went by plane to to melbourne. but the great ocean road from melbourne to adelaide was short. i thought its more. it was a nice coastal road. i didnt know that here are so many flies during the day. thats horrible. i had to learn a new move 'the aussie wave'

i am now in adelaide, i booked a bushcamper for 10 days. i gonna drive to uluru and carry on then to brisbane.. that are 4000ks. i know its stupid but we can do that. i am traveling with a friend here. we need a emergency radio, loads of water and diesel.

you were right. here are 1000 skylines. but i couldnt take a photo of 1 yet because i never have my camera with me. is a gt-r so rare? i never see one. i think if you have a godzilla you dont mind to remove the emblem.

of course i know sebastian leob. he is a hero. is the wrc finished, did he win? i gonna take a look.

you gonna find a post when i am in brisbane and later in melbourne. where is the chappel st in melbourne? i checked my tourist road map (haha) but i could find it. is it near the flinders station and fed square?

see you later

hey mates

i am now in brisbane. i stay on a campsite in redcliffe. i gonna give back my campervan the day after tomorrow and move to a backpackers in brisbane central for 2 days and then to the surfers paradies for another 2 weeks. Somebody wrote me we could meet up. my aussie phone nr is 0406550174 (vdf)

the way from adelaide to brisbane via alice was very long and hot. but we enjoyed it.

i am looking forward to see someone of you. here or in melbourne.

see ya

Hey sounds like a great trip!! Did you get to drive a skyline yet? I don't think GTR's are really that rare, on holiday in various places they always seem to pop up, and even here in Alice there's a few.

Good move getting the camper..that's the way to do it.

Enjoy the rest of your trip and keep us updated!

Hey, there is some trackwork going on at Queensland raceway tomorrow.

Either make your way out or send me a pm if you are getting rid of the camper early and I'll tell you how to get the train from Brisbane to my place and we'll head out together.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
