haha yeah spotted RS260 in his silver stag on North East Rd this arvo and exchanged last minute nods, then literally 500m down the road saw Craig (a bit too late, but got the thumb out the window after I went past if you noticed), then literally 30 seconds later got an SMS from Helso saying he had just spotted me and thought I was a fag beacause of the blueness on the front of my car :thumbsup: .... I assured him I am respraying the intercooler stealth black this weekend when I get a spare minute.

Good boy Andrew! You know I don't mean you're a fag :thumbsup: I was just upset you didn't wave at me

Spotted gun metal grey 35 GTR parked on the street beside work, plates RGT R35... F**K me are those things fricken wikid up close, still cant believe i saw it lol didnt want to go back into work haha very very nice. Was an older gentleman driving it im told, had a damn phone call or would have said hello :thumbsup: Got a few pics, post up when i get home..

Also light blue 32 GTR in turbotune just now.

Spotted my old Enkei wheels (that I sold to Scandy and he on-sold) today on an old school Chaser/Soarer turning out of Windsor Gardens onto North East Rd near JIS .... still repping the dodgy "S" emblem stickers on the centre-caps that I fabricated lol :thumbsup:

Spotted a R33 on Ryde Street Gawler West about 12.20am on my way home from work.

Was thinking right before I saw it I hadnt seen any JDM Skylines in ageees. Also spotted my 32 clock over 160,000kms this week.

spotted white pulsar near ttp with GTR badge on it, and no it wasnt a GTIR. was old school styled GTR badge with all letters in a line.

had muffler and heavy footed driver

Spotted a 'GTR 34' on churchill road, looked very nice.

Also spotted a 32 GTR the same colour as Brads 4 door on Panalatinga road and not long after that saw Brad on states road.

Haha i saw you too. Thought it was you. Gave you a wave through the rain. LOL. Was out taking photos of my car. :D:D:D

Spotted 20 mins ago a White Ford with SAU sticker on the side triangle window on Briens Road turning right onto Wright road, i was behind yah and gave u the 2 fog light signal before i turned off. =D

    • 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.
