The latest version of the National Code of practise has just been put on the website. Link provided.

Got some major changes, see the LA section engine size table.

V8s and forced induction dont figure in the scheme of things.

So...

(RWD) 1350x3 = 4ltr turbocharged/blown motor/6.5ltr N/A motor

(GTR) 1600x3 = 4.8ltr turbocharged/blown motor/8ltr N/A motor

(weights i know, are rough. Just proving a point)

Same as your last thread a while ago... A lot of hoohah, about nothing. Common sense ruling.

This is a skyline forum, not a blown big bore forum.

Plus the idea of putting a blown 5ltr-6ltr V8 into a 1200kg car will never be approved by a Victorian Engineer anyway.

So it's just ratifying common sense really as anyone doing such a thing isn't exactly building a road car.

You'd still get a small 4.2ltr V8 passes potentially that is both lighter and newer than say, a LS1 :)

Hi there,

your right, its the same as the last post in a way. i was just letting everyone know the version 2 NCOP had been posted.

Still if you know whats happening in WA you find that there are crazies here who have tried to supercharged V8s into 1400kg cars.

Of interest is that v 2 of the NCOP is now supposed to be accepted by all registration authorities and will be adopted into all States. V1 had bits that NSW wouldnt accept, now they state in there " this is the standard, but in NSW you have to do blah blah".

For late model cars stability control has been addressed, now they want evidence or testing to show ESC is not affected by suspesion mods, tyres etc.

      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.
