hey all!

ok heres the situation.

were filming a short movie for my mate's film project at uni.

in this movie, there are R31 skylines. lol.

we need someone who has a (factory as possible) WHITE ADM R31 to use as a car to shoot the sequences with, as we already have a white R31 we are going to drive into a tree for one sequence tonight

so if anyone owns or knows someone who owns a White R31 and will be freewithin 3 weeks to help us film, please let me know!

i know its short notice, blame Drew. hahaha.

THERE IS A REWARD!

the person who is kind enough to lend us such vehicle will have there choice of either

A) a good nick, running RB30E engine (with the auto box attached if you wish) or

the set of 14 inch wheels that are on the R31 that is due for demolition. they arent too bad, and have great tread!

so let me know what you can muster up!

if you have a mate that has a car that fits the description, let me know :huh:

cheers!

Will.

^^^^ There is so much win in that post :huh:

Wish I had more notice, I'd love to come and help destroy said 31.

In any case, I would help you out, but my 31 is a grey 2 door import.

Maybe try posting here: http://motamota.r31skylineclub.com/index.php?board=31.0

We only have about half a dozen active members left in QLD, but nearly all of them have a white aus spec except me. Do you need an S2 or S3?

Also, I'd love to see a copy of this when its done :D

dissapoint I couldn't be there, but can't wait for the video.

Keep it to the QLD section and you should be OK, I'll spank anyone who flames you. I think most will find it just as amusing as I do anyway :mad:.

The rear end is a little different too, but not as noticable as the front I guess.

Why didn't you just film all your other scenes before destroying the car? Not road registered I guess?

I have such a car. It is a bit beaten up but it would be an honour to feature in the film. If you want a better looking one for your film I won't be offended lol :D

You could use a spare RB30 too :/

      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.
