You could make them fit by buying a lower sized wheel? Lol 20" is just TOO big in my opinion. Good luck fitting, I got no other suggestions.

NAwww they are sexy tho :down: haha. anyone else got suggestions?? what if i flared the guards and got spacers??

if its hitting on the side the offset isnt right and you can fix it with spacers (make sure you get longer studs put in if you go this way), but then it will probably sit out the guards too much and you wont be able to lower it.

if its hitting at the top the tyre profile is obviously too high, 245/35 is huge for the front, shoudl be fine on the back, 225/30 is the way to go on the front and if the offsets are right you should be able to deck it hard.

The steering arm is sitting 1/4 over the tyre already... they are gunna be sitting way outside my guards.. lol. Im not lowering it. so not sure... :down:

iv got 20's on mine with 225/35's on the front and lowered, if you can stretch a tire it will be alright, as for top of the strut elbow joint the clearance wouldnt be any more than a 3mm gap, but doesnt cause any problems. just make sure if its lowered the suspension is tight otherwise when the wheels are turned under hard cornering or similair the tire will hit... flaring or wide body fenders will fix the problem but as said above it is a bit of stuffing around.

your username and presumably rego is 4drftn and you have 20's?

DAMN you must have a lot of coin! :laugh:

lol, yeah i had a set of deep dish 17" volks when i first bought the car, chucked the 20's on to raise it off the ground so i could get out off the driveway... would like a set of nice dished racing rims though...

      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.
