if the crack is really small they wont notice it and you should be ok... hail damage they wont care about. and the reo bar is the metal bar running across the front of ur car jus behind your front bumper that ur number plate screws to if its not ofset.

well i got a sticker 2 weeks ago from the cops :rofl2: for bald tyres and a blown headlight that went out that day!!

well got it fixed didn't do anything else as the car was over the pits for rego 10 months ago! and i haven't changed anything! (except tyres,cvs, selector, clutch and headlight globe)

so the list goes:

too low

bonett scoops illegal (the wholes need to be covered)

powersteering leak (this guy needs glassses- it was fluid from my cv's when they went)

oil leak (seal...thought it was sump)

clutch not operating correctly (coz he has to push it to the floor, the clutch is 2 months old)

seat belt clip not having casing (the dam thing works!)

windscreen washers and blades (on passenger side and back)

exhaust leak...didn't kow about that one.

so now i'm spending a fortune to get it to pass. i reckon my car is above the min in height, so i called the guy and he gave me a different "rule" everytime i called and never gave me an actual measurement so i've booked into a suspension mob to measure it. as for the clutch BAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHA!!! the guy is doing the holes in my bonnet while he's there.

any suggestions on my suspension??

i got NO idea, i bought the car all mod off my bro who he bought it off his mate who bought it off the guy that did all the mods! didn't realise i would be getting this much shit for it or i would have kept my commodor!

Alright the skyline doesnt have a reo bar, its pretty much just the inter cooler sitting there, now the problem i have is how do i get permits for that, considering i dont have paper work for who did the mods.

I do have another skyline the same type but its bone stock, im not to keen on changing parts of putting the stock stuff back on including reo bar, ive decided that would be my last resort.

If im going to get permits for the inter cooler, since the cars not really modified and i reckon everything else will pass except the inter cooler issue. Were would you guys recommend i go and roughly how much would set me back for the permits on the inter cooler.

Okay i bought a reo bar and i originally thought that i didn't have one until i ripped the bumper off, which infarct, since i got a bit confused with what it looked like.

However im bringing it back to the guy and getting a replacement windshield of him as the crack on the windscreen is noticeable but its not actually cracked but i think there going to have an issue mainly due to the fact its a skyline.

So i think after the windscreen installation i should have everything ready, im thankful for the help guys that you provide me.

      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.
