The fitting in the side of the block is a tapered 3/4 BSP thread..

Nobody (that i can find) makes a 3/4 tapered bsp fitting with a AN -10 or -12 male on the other side...

To 'jam' a 3/4 BSP parrarel thread into it is just plain dodgy, and you always run the risk of the damn thing leaking,

not to mention that most of the thread will not be used and looks terrable hanging out.

Does anybody know where I can get a fitting, otherwise,

I guess I'm gonna have to buy some tooling and make up a few and sell them to cover the costs.

Yea, I looked at that..

But I was totally stumped when I spent over an hour on the phone and a few hours on the net and NOBODY listed it!

I have seen lots of people who have done this mod, and I was shocked that I cant find a fitting.

I can make the fitting, I'll have to buy a few bits to do it, but it looks like I gonna have my own little market for this!

That is just the tip of the iceberg however, while I was looking, I also couldn't find a single fitting with a tapered BSP thread that has an 'AN' fitting on the other side of any size.

that means that I couldn't find any fittings that join an 'AN' fitting to anything that bolts into the engine. Oil or water..

All the 'AN' threads I found were parrarel.

Proflow make one that fits. You can get it from www.vpw.com.au i was at our local brake place and they have two sitting there and i matched the thread up with the bung i pulled out of an rb30 block and it has a dash 10 fitting on the end of it. Im goin to get the fitting for my motor on monday and ill post a photo of it up and let u know how it fits into the block.

What I mean is, I get my hose guy to use crimp teflon braid, not AN stuff.

They can cut and silver solder the hose tail off the factory fitting, then make the rest out of crimped braid. Works every time.

Stick to banjos for the water lines, it's easier to keep everything away from the exhaust too.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
