Hi my name is Glen, I'm a new member.

I live on the Sunny Coast, I drive a late 96 s2 R33.I see alot of Skylines & other jap inports on the streets here. Are any of these cars belonging to members? If so we should catch up. Is there any clubs here or groups? I'm heading to the Gold Coast on the 29th feb for super sunday & I'm going to do the supa cruze leaving from the Hyperdome in Brissy, is anyone going?

hey man, welcome.

its all in the QLD section.

you have most likely seen a skyline from here. you can post what you saw here and see if they're on the forum :) that's here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/sh...ead.php?t=19225

most of the time event talk is in QLD > events, (here: http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/fo...isplay.php?f=28 ).

For more info on Super Sunday & the cruise to the GOLD COAST on the 29th of feb go to www.racelinepromations.com or ph 55378255, The show is at Parklands Showgrounds Gold Coast.

Hello all, my name is mat and I too am a new member, this is my first post *blush* and I hail from the sunshine coast aswell, just thought i'd post in here. Glen, what colour is your skyline?

Heya mate,  

another skyline owner :)  

Im up the sunny coast a bit cos i have relatives up there, if i see u ill beep !

Did you buy that private or actually off IVS, cos i know some things about IVS that would stop people buying their cars

Sorry about the size of the pics guys, thats how they came off the digi camera.

I bought the car through a private sale, though the previous owner had all the body work done through IVS (genuine 400r front bar, nismo side skirts and niso read bar, gtr wing). Talking to some other car owners that bought through IVS that cruise up here on sundays I can agree with what you said knore... I wont say anymore about it though...

Ohhh here are some more pics :)

Ah Dynamix you bought Kurt Wimmers car.. saw you out cruising last week.. what on earth happened to the rear gaurd..

Laters, Josh.

The read gaurd copped some accidental drift damage. The first week I had it I was on my way home after a cruise and forgot to switch the boost down, so 18psi of boost and a rainy night with an accelorator that sticks = $400 damage that could have been alot more. Thankfully I didnt hit the two cars I went in between sideways and just scraped a crapy old work van. I'm also thankful that a friend of a friend is a pannel beater and is gonna fix everything for $400, saving me $1000. This car ' was ' kurts car, it seems to be well known on the coast, though soon I plan on doing some things to it so people wont recognise it so much and go ' look thats kurts car '. Next time you see me out give us a beep n pull over for a chat.

Cheers, mat.

All the skyline owners should organise a cruise one day up here, I know about 8 other skyline owners i could gather up, it would be good one day maybe even get some of the brissy crusiers up this way for once, It'd be great meeting some of the SAU community

Must be that ' matts ' have good taste.. :)

    • 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.
