Hi everyone,

I have created this thread for the official meet-and-greet activities for Western Australia's V-series owners.

Official WA V-series meet-and-greet activity will go ahead ONLY if:

1. There's 3 or more V-series Nissan Skyline able to participate.

2. There's a safe and secure car park, whenever possible.

We are looking at doing this at least once a month, or whenever possible.

Due to restricted car park at some place, this will be an "Invite Only". Final updated information will be sent to the individuals by pm or sms.

Please check this tread for updates.

Thank you for your time.

It's good that you made this thread up man. But you might consider changing the times of meet as it definitely won't suit everyone. Also a note to WA members that this is a meet/catch up only and not a cruise. I'll ttyl about this victor.

Yeah, I was thinking about that after posting it.

If the time 8:30pm-9:30pm is not convienent, it can be change. Any idea?

Interested in the "meet-and-greet", but will be in malaysia during September :) . Will be up for the cruise tho, if its before 6/9/10

That's in a fortnight man. :)

Will let you asap.

I'll be in Africa till late Sept

gr8 idea Victor, hope to make it in the coming ones.

Ok Roy. How you been? Long time no see. :)

This will be the first meet-and-greet and hopefully, it will kick start the V community.

Will let you know about second one if you miss this.

Ok everyone,

After more consideration taken into account with time schedule, the location, time and date of WA V-series meet-and-greet No.1 will be updated in coming few days.

Please check back soon and sorry for any inconvenience this might caused.

    • 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.
    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
