considering how far is shunted the other cars, its actually held up real well.

dont care if people show off, but i would still laugh/taunt this guy, ferrari drivers shit me... "hey buddy, that parkin' spot's already occupied!"

He's going to be farking sore in the neck tomorrow. He obviously hit something right at his door which would have wrenched his neck big time.

Never tried to drive really hard and/or show off in a mid-mounted engine car but im sure once the start spinning up its really easy for them to get well out of shape

(doesnt detract from the fact the guy is a douche for crashing, and doing it in a busy area with kids etc around).

good work on the pics and vid for our entertainment:p

Heres the link.

FYI the cars not that expensive, a new R35 gtr is easily worth more than this, also a 2nd hand auction job import R35 is still worth more. Looks like a 97 model F355

look on the bright side at least it wasn't a skyline crashing ( i swear as soon as a cop see's one of these in a accident its automatically decided he's guilty and to bring out the taser )

in hindsight seeing an R33 rear ending someone isnt a uncommon sight, have to chuckle sometimes..

F355 is about mid-late 90s is it not. that means it would be a $150k car if you were lucky.

still not a cheap thing to smack around but they still do..

I know a guy here in brissy that has one as a toy and his shitbox daily is a 308.. go figure

How many other owners of that model there (if any) do you reckon had greedy thoughts about their now even rarer car going up in value?

    • 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.
