it always comes down to the GTR vs Lambo.

Seems the GTR was having trouble keeping up with the porka on the straight.

No where near close to keeping up with the lambo on the straight.

seems to be cornering faster than everyone else which is awesome.

The problems I have with that vid is

1. Lambo suddenly running wide on the last lap - how convenient

2. Lambo suddenly NOT being able to keep up on the main straight - what gives??

I'll have to say, that win was NOT convincing at all.

I agree it looked a bit suss at the end, but keep in mind the GTR did start last and had to make up ground to get close at the end. And the fact that it does well, even if its slower in a straight line compared to a 470kw V12 I think is great. Plus the lambo is a $600k car vs $150k odd so really it isnt like its racing a sales competitor.

Would be good if the vid had subtitles or something tho

quoting a translation:

A few things that should be cleared to those who dont speak japanese

1. LP640 ran out of gas at the last corner. probably because the race shouldve ended 1lap earlier, but the editor seeing a good race between LP640/GTR and 911/Gallardo extened the battle 1lap.

2.Exige took off too early, but he was let off the hook cause of the power diff

3. 911 was complaining about lack of grip exiting the corners.May have to do with the weight distribution and the GT-R having a better 4wd system.

What they NEED to do is to have a GTR vs LP640 race only. That way, none of the slower cars will be an excuse. It's most unsatisfying seeing the lambo lose just because its out of fuel and because the judges decided to extend it by one lap.

thanks for the traslation btw.

      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.
