nah i need to sell them Krishy. they have $850 worth of awesome condish tyres on them so im only asking $450 for the rims? yeh they are in the main section, ive dropped to 1300.

Problem is, the resale of tyres is pretty much nil, unless they're semis. To sell a set of road tyres on their own, you'd be lucky to find anyone willing to pay upwards of $400 even for the best shit. Most people looking at your rims will just see driftteks for $1300, which they can get without tyres somewhere else for like $1000 or less, put cheap $100 secondhandies on and be done with it.

I'd just put $1000 on them to get rid of them if it were my wheels. Sure you get 300 less, but you gain $1000 (because the rims might actually sell then :D)

Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

Also damo isn't one of them cracked??

If that's the case then they are worth even less.

OK

Being the resourceful young lad that I am, I have a few handy links in my bookmarks. One of these is for japanese luxury car specialist - Fabulous. Now, these blokes build some damn nice vehicles, with some hefty price tags to boot.

fabulouss500.th.jpg

Take this here S Class for example. Now the S Class isn't really a cheap car. I guess the guys at Fabulous thought along the lines of 'well if they can afford that, they can afford to pay big for mods' :)

The one in that pic has front bar, side skirts, rear bar, rear bootlip spoiler, chrome taillight additions, driving lights and some rather large wheels :rofl: The cost for these additions?

$28100 :D

Chuck the 'Fabulous Luxury Floormat' set in as well for $1500, why not :rofl:

Still, if you had an F430 and wanted a front splitter, side skirts and some trimming around the exhausts you'll pay 14k for FRP. 19.5k if you want carbon :P

Throw in the Sachs racing suspension package and set of 20s with the body mods and you're 54 thousand dollars lighter :)

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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 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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
