Where Did My Thread Go?

Hey guys!

A few quick rules for this area of SAU;

-This area is only for build/restoration threads. Any threads other than that will be moved without notice to the area they should've been started in.

-DO NOT start thread in this area to ask a question, this is for ongoing whole car build up threads, not "I have a misfire, who can help" or "How hard is it to put an RB26 into my mums Camry?" type threads.

-When you post up a new thread that thread is subject to mod preview, that means when you post up a new thread IT WONT APPEAR ON YOUR SCREEN! It has to be approved first, then it shows. Generally this will take 24hours, but can be longer. So don't stress if you start a thread and cant find it.

Be aware though, if you post a thread without details, or using an external link to build details (eg "Hey guys check out the car in detail by clicking here" or alike) it WILL NOT be approved, and will be deleted with no warning.

Other than that - lets hear about all your builds!!!

Cheers

-Steve

We have decided to further refine the "Builds" sections and have split it into two:

  • This forum remains the place to post up threads for street driven cars which covers the majority of build threads.
  • We have added a new "Motorsport Builds" forum for dedicated motorsport cars from any discipline. http://www.skylinesa...orsport-builds/

We are moving some of the threads in this section to the new one over the next few days based on a reasonably quick check; If you beleive your thread is in the wrong forum, please contact a moderator of either section and we will review it.

To be notified by email of new threads in either section:

  1. Navigate to the forum you want to follow
  2. Select the "Follow" button

  3. Chose the notification type
    follow_forum2.jpg
  4. You will then get an email for each new topic that is posted in the forum

Happy building!

      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.
