rus123 was that you we all passed??? jeeze hope all is ok? please pm if youd rather....

Good turnout, no one I knew at all....lol where were you all. No one had maps or an idea where to go...but police presence was offensively high, as to was the 31's...haha..seems like some other ppl might have ruined this destination....

Lucas made it home...just....

Nice to have met you all...and some of those cars were just beautiful. But didnt get to see many of you on the run... :blink:

Thank guys for a good night.. :devil:

awsome night people that road was sweet as would have been better if the cop hadn't pulled me up but ah well we should feel safe obviously the was no other crime in the area :devil: nice to meet you's all and see ya next time

dam...so you coped a defect? was it a random pull over out of the bunch?

yeah mate kickin meself was bout 2am i was tried and the group had pulled over so just waved kept cruising seen a car come kaning up behind me just sitting on 70 he came up sat right behind me for a bit as soon as it went from 70-80 and i started to accelarate to 80 boom party lights checked me lights reckoned they were hid checked height and asked where the bov was pointed it out got the trumpet still on camara out pics no defect sticker just reckons letter from epa come soon for bov and exhust pretty weak but what do ya do lol

+1

yes always admit to not knowing anything where the parts in the car is unless its obvise...just say not sure coz you neve modified the car...just bought it the way it is now....easier for you and harder for the cops who dont know much...

if the cop knows his stuff he will still get you done no matter what....

    • ..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.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
