What genuises these thieves were...

6/4/10 Help us out, spread the work

Last night at 7-35pm we had some guys break into our GTR shop and steal the GTR rims and tyres and race seat from our shop, crazy thing is these are custom made in the usa by Bogart Racing wheels and have an custom off set that wont fit any cars in NZ or Australia!

They have a custom off set only for this race car, so they will be hopeless to sale, the slicks are a special size that we will notice any where as well. The race seat is a carbon fibre seat, race pro only made us 4 super lite models that stand out from the standard race seat.

We will offer a large reward for the return or info leading to these guys getting court, we have the car and one guy on our CCTV system, we are waiting for the police to come out tomorrow.

So we hope to post photos of the guy and car that we have on footage.

Any info email us or call 096210020, regards Kevin

New HP readings up on the HTL website - impressive!!!

Andre has just retuned the car with the latest changes for the trip to Oz, apparently found another 115hp :ninja:

Will be really interesting to see how it goes - Place your bets :banana: I reckon it'd be pretty sweet to see them crack the 7.50 mark with around 195mph on it.

They also put an interesting pic or two up:

HTL Racing - Workshop

Keep up the good work guys, looking forward to seeing what this season brings for you :banana:

Holy hell, damn you Aussies! I'd love to be able to see this :(

Good luck both teams on bettering your PBs, there could be history made this weekend! Looking forward to what HT's new record will be :ph34r:

    • 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.
