Has anyone heard of Insight Motorsport (i think that's what it's called). A workshop recommended them to me for a tune.

Any thoughts?

Scott from Insight - they're in Arndell park (by Blacktown).

A few good mates have used him with great results... and I've been to a dyno day there and there's no doubt he looks after customer cars :blink:

As usual though, depends what ECU you have... I wouldn't use him for my power FC, for example, but I know plenty who have.

DAHTONE RACING are definitely a sure thing for an engine rebuild they can from mild to all out whatever you want

I grew up with these guys so i know the workmanship is second to none you'll get great service and great pricing...i trust them so much that they are currently building my new RB25/30 motor with all the trimmings

Here are some pics for those interests to see what we are bringing out of the shop this year :happy:

I recommend Maytech (in my signature)

I dont work for them or anything, just a regular customer there..

Mayan, the owner of the workshop, has great knowledge on knows RBs, SRs and a lot other engines like 4age and mitsubishis and audis..

he worked on my last 3 skylines and i never had any problems with his workmanship.

his latest project was a rebuild of a red r32 gtr, he did all the mechanical and electrical work... i think the car's still at the workshop waiting for new coilovers to arrive from japan. but the engine is complete, speak to him about it, and maybe even talk to the owner of the car if you get a chance, you'll be impressed.

best thing is, he doesn't charge an arm and a leg.

give him a call on 0296006995, if he doesnt answer then he's probably busy so just leave a message, he'll get back to you, tell him Thomas sent you

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
