Moving overseas in a few months, so selling my fairly light use Skyline R33. Purchased as fresh Japan import with 104'000 on the clock in early 2007, has 122'000 now, mainly from weekend use on highways. Have original RACQ and Carmen imports condition reports from when I purchased, has since had a few services with Dan from ERD.

Six cylinder manual, 2.5L (RB25), build date: 9/1993. Only modification is a turbo timer. I will arrange roadworthy prior to sale.

The air conditioning stopped working towards the end of last summer. I went to fix it, but was quoted $600-$750, so figure will leave that for new owner to decide. Report came back there is leak under the dash. Has mid range speakers installed (running through 600W amp), nothing amazing, but better than your stock setup. Optionally I'll throw in GPS security tracking hardware, just pop in a sim card and you're set - get a notification via SMS if your car starts moving, telling you precisely where it is.

I'm still trying to settle on a fair price, so you're welcome to PM offers, but if they're considerably lower I'll have to wait until I've had it on the market a bit longer before deciding. Can add additional pics on request. There are a couple of light scratches on the paintwork (think cat claws), might be possible to buff them out, but just want to give people the heads up on condition. Can't make it out too well in the picture, but where the spoiler meets the window the paint is thinning out (can see the white undercoat coming through). Has always been under cover or garaged for the time I've owned it.

Price drop, $9000. I've posted up on carsales (has additional details there as well), just search for license plate '625JZH' (in the keyword field).

It is the factory color, though undercoat starting to appear on spoiler where connects to boot :thumbsup:. Even so it does brush up nice - I was dead keen on this colour when buying as it looks great.

Now located in Annerley :D

      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.
