We are having a R31 Skyline Club BBQ and cruise this Saturday 13th Dec! All other Skylines are welcome to join!

* We will be meeting at Belair Golf Course Car Park at 12 midday for the BBQ.

* The cruise will depart from the same car park at 2pm and maps will be provided. You can just attend the cruise if you can't make the BBQ

Getting thereTo get to Belair Golf Course....

* From the city follow Belair road until it hits Main Road and go down this until you see Laffers Road and turn here

* From the south from South Road, go up Shepherds Hill Road, then turn Left on Main Road (in Glenunta) and go up over the train tracks until you read Laffers Road and turn here

Turn right at the end Laffers Road at Upper Sturt road and continue down until you see a small road which goes into the Belair Golf Course (where you see Main Oval in the street directory). When driving you should see sign saying Belair National park - its just past the National Park.

Meeting details

We will be meeting at the carpark for both the BBQ and the cruise. The BBQ area is a small walk from the carpark

Adam will be there setting up about 11:30am contact him on 0403176783, the starting time for the BBQ is around 12

Bring your own drinks and there will be a small amount of money required for the food on the day (Adam will be bringing some drinks still but anything special bring your own). I will also be selling club stickers that day for $3.50 each

If you are going to the BBQ you need to LET US KNOW YOU ARE ATTENDING BY THIS WEDNESDAY ON 0403358142 OR REPLY TO THIS EMAIL/THREAD so we can get the correct supply of food! If you are just attending or joining in on the cruise afterwards, then just rock up to the carpark.

We are also sending this out by SMS for a good turnout. Hope to see you there

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
