just incase anyone doesn't know about Charmaine's car, here it is:

THE LASER:

I absolutely love my car. It’s a 1991 Ford Laser Ghia. I bought it with 17” chrome rims and it was lowered. I was like “Sick! A pimped car!” But after closer inspection I discovered the car was lowered illegally as the springs were cut. So not too long ago, with help of a good mate, we put in new lowered springs, suspension & rear brake pads. Still need to replace the front pads. The car was all good and well now but I couldn’t drive around without some sick cranking tunes. So the next step was to upgrade the soundsystem. This I can also thank my good mate for, as he was an absolute gun for helping me install all of it. A few hundred dollars later ;) my soundsystem consists of a Pioneer sub, Kenwood 6” splits, Pioneer 6x9”s, Boss 4 channel amp & Boss mono block amp and a sexy Alpine headunit. Doof doof much?? The interior and engine could do with a bit of work I suppose, but hey, it’s only my first car and it gets me to where I need to go. I’m not sure spending copious amounts of money on my first car would be the best idea because eventually I will have something better. Either that or the fad will end. But somehow I don’t think it will. I’m keen at the moment for a new exhaust, cannon + extractors. I love driving. I feel happy when i drive, the feeling of just being able to get away from everything. Like an escape. Especially with the music cranked loud XD

Yeah. My car is the sex.

    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
    • 10 minutes on a lathe would be one way to achieve literally anything you want, too. (except for AN type stuff - just talking about M-F with BSP and NPT in any mix/combo).
    • yeah, so "something" should be -4 AN....to a hose....to a -4AN to NPT fitting *edit* sorry, I surely have that backwards. The LS is from land of the free so it must be NPT at the block, and the Nissan sender is BSPT. But still, conceptually the same
    • Yea I mean I know it exists, but finding (specifically) female BSPT to male NPT (i.e, to plug a Nissan OEM sensor into a 'standard' NPT port) was truly difficult. I don't think I'll recreate the setup I had in the past unless it's (possibly?) advisable with a stronger T piece made of steel, but who knows if the aluminium threads in the block become the next weak point etc. Given it may need to be redrilled out and something tapped into it, it'll need to be Female BSPT to the something that ends uo coming out of the side of the block.
    • Sounds like a perfect time to harness up a couple of the dogs, show the horses what real power is about!
