just wondering how many people in the forums are from this lovely town?

Well there's me in town..... infrequently. There's heaps of nice clean Skylines around I reckon, saw 2 very tidy examples today, silver job & a white one down the main drag about 2-ish, I've been outta town for a while but there were 4 Stags (counting mine) around that I knew of last time I was in town....a 260RS out in Kambodia as well. Dunno if they are all still around or all on the forum or active but. Problem is work rosters. nightshift, 8 & 6, month on week off..fifo, dido..satphone comms in the boonies.....whatever. One of these days I would like to take a run with the local Nissan boys to the Broad Arrow Tavern or Widgiemootha Roadhouse or just somewhere, for a burger (excuse for run/pics/say gidday)

Work rosters rule,

Gotta grab it while you can,

Cheers GW :miner: out.

a kalgoorlie skyline cruise would be sweet, there are a few nice skylines around

i have a couple mates with some nice ones and i've recently met a guy with a couple sweet r32s

not many people know this but a HPI feature car now resides in kalgoorlie,

its a red 4 door r34 "gtr" built by C-red in perth, i saw that up close the thing is beautiful.

then i know of a few other imports too

My mum worked in a medical clinic at Kalgoorlie last year.

I've being there about 3 times, driving there is a pain in the ass especially when you are driving around in a white Camry... the most boring-est car in the world.

Not to mention on the way there, from the 1/2 way point (from Merredin onwards), the over-taking lanes disappears all together & overtaking 3 stage road trains is annoying as hell in a underpowered Camry.

The only import I've seen while I was there was a Soarer, otherwise all I see is a bunch of bogans driving around in their Chevy badged bogandores.

Hey I have that issue! Full Eastbear kit and Hakosuka front GT-R badge?

Did you get the cooler kit in one piece Erik? teehee.gif

    • ..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.
