Going: to West Head Lookout then Palm Beach via Mona Vale Road, then through the scenic Mccarrs Creek Road & West Head Road.

Time: 10:00am (Leaving 10:30am sharp) To avoid the summer traffic, especially on the weekends

I NEED HELP!!!!!

MY CAR IS OUT OF ACTION!

THis cruise is now cancelled. Sorry everyone.

I've had a minor hit last saturday night. Whats damaged is my front bar, front left guard, and front left headlight. A panel beater I know is quoting me around $3,000 to fix it!

I know I can get cheaper than this. Can anyone help?

THis is an urgent request. Send me a msg if you can help.

Kind Regards,

James

dude $3000 for bolt on parts?

you can buy everything for under $700 and fit it urself.

if theres rail damage then may require some panel beating work but if its just panels etc thats easy stuff you can do yourself man.

WHat are some good wreckers to visit so I can buy it myself, that would have R34's there?

Sh!t that's tough James, sorry to hear it man.

Yeh i agree if it's only cosmetic bits that need replacing you can get the parts yourself and bolt them on.

If you need a hand gimme a yell. The sooner it's done the sooner we cruise ;)

Thanks Omar!

james try justjap or look for R34 parts here in classifieds and post it there. Did you try Arncliffe car smash repair. Tell me the exact parts you need and i'll go see the wrecker near my place on saturday and let you know if i find any R34 parts

Manu

Dammit was looking forward to that cruise lol since i haven't taken mine on one since i got it back.

I got an r34 gt front bar for sale, its not the nismo bar though just the standard nissan item. and hasnt got the indicators in it.

PM me if you want it.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
