Willall Racing Buys Australia's First Official Complied/street Registered R35gtr


Recommended Posts

Sat in it this afternoon down at Wallall's.

Absolutely amazing in every way.

Didn't get to take it for a drive, but Munro and Martin Donnon went for a spin - they were simply blown away - which is a big statement from those 2 rev-heads!

Hope to take it for a burn next weekend - will post more pics and videos as they come to hand. Martin is going to real-time tune the stock ECU next week, so we will see what sort of power figures she puts out pre and post-edit.

Enjoy the pics!

Oh, and a vid

Awesome pics Andrew.

Props for not molesting them too much and keeping their quality high :nyaanyaa:

How can you not love a speedo that goes past 340 kph....

-D

Loving it. What a great car! Was a great afternoon. Next week we are keen to get some photos of

R32 GTR, R33 GTR, R34 GTR, & R35 GTR all in a row. Thanks for the great shots Andrew.

(Off to put some cars on carsales.com now)

You're on. Any particular date or time? Would be nice if u could get a white 33gtr and 34 gtr and take a pic in a row. mines got a nismo front bar minus the front spoiler lip but is otherwise stock (albeit in need of some detailing).... any other white gtr (33, 34's) out there keen to go down? Charmaine are u free to take pix? hehe

Thats pretty cool Dohmar but Im not going to rearrange cars for your mates to come down for a photo shoot and take an hour out of my day to do it. I have work to do.....Know what I mean?

A look is cool....but I cant move stuff around for shots etc.

Didnt mean it like that. Im sure us peasants could have arranged something on the street and had you slot in, but whatever mate.

Forget it

    • 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.
