Hey Guys

We're hitting up Japan late december (leaving Dece 28th) and coming back mid Jan (back on 11th of Jan).

Just keen to know from those that know of anything happening in and around japan during those days we'll be over there.

Keen to visit a couple of factories (dont know of any that will be open, maybe someone can let me know?)

Plus also want to do some sight seeing of the country too... visit the buddist temples, hiroshima site, etc.

Anyone able to help out and let me know what we can do and where we can go and what is on during this time???

Cheers guy!!!

Tokyo Auto Salon might be on during your stay...plenty of guys on SAU have been so searching the info will be easy

Osaka Auto Messe is also on in January. Kyoto is a 20min trip by train.

Hiroshima, well worth the visit...kinda sad but Meji will cheer you up and it's only a tram ride away.

Its also a very special time of year. From midnight on new years eve, all buddists go to their local or home town shrine. The number of people there in the early hours of the morning is astounding! There's food vendors, and sort-of a carnival fun-for-all atmosphere. Its a great time of year to eat crab nabe, mochi, and lots of food specific to that tme of year.

mmm nabe, mmm mochi and even better ..... mmm nabe with mochi in it. Why did I have to leave my nabe pot in Aichi. I want to wear my nabe pot as a hat so all day I can smell the kimochi goodness.....Where are you now my beloved nabe pot?

hey mate ill be at my home in hiroshima from the 28th -6th if u want to meet up for okonamiyaki

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
