I was in the gunmetal R33, no P plates. You mean where was i in the restaurant? Opposite James, wearing the brown shirt and trying to grow a beard :/ .

Where were you? Which 34 were you in?

OHHH You were sitting oppsite James, sort of in between John and Terry... i think...

Your plates are BRU51N?? is that how its spelt? lol

I was in the White 34 GT Four, with my "green p plates"..... yeah... long story behind that lol

my plates are normal RTA ones: AO74SA...

You know, the asian chick with the really long hair =p LOL

Sitting on your side of the table... but at the end near the window...

Is there ever going to be one of these cruises on a saturday?

Believe it or not Im actually interested in tagging along. Don't get to drive the car as much these days, really only for sprints etc, would be nice to get it out a bit often

Chris honestly man you would have loved the turnout, pitty you couldnt make it!

Wait till u see the pics it was very fun cruising sooo many nice cars!

Billy.... aww i wanted to meet you in person lol

Yeah i was between Terry and John. I'm sorta tall, sorta white, sorta dark hair. Yeah i'll find you at the next cruise! I'll look for the 'green P' R34 lol. Nah i have boring regular plates. The only way you could really spot my car is the bodykit. Not very common.

Why would we be so surprised for you to join? It's your loss to miss out :D

The more gunmetal R33's the better i say hehe.

Yep i heard about that one. I think it was the 5Zigen 350Z. It gets lots of attention seeing as it looks like a frikken race car :/ . Bloody awesome car though :(

Hey mister GTR.. what colour was yours?

Sweet! Post the pics if you can, and if the vids aren't too big you can either post them too, or i'll give you my email! What if we made a compilation CD of everyone's pics and vids and handed them out at the next cruise? I'm happy to make some if you guys are keen :D

    • 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.
