Well some low life just happend to walk past my car with a key sticking out and keyed the passenger side from front to rear.

Gee am I pissed off at all these DH's that have nothing better to do.

Wonder how Shannons will take this? or whould it be cheaper for me to get someone to do the repairs?

:angry:

I don't understand f**kwits who go out of their way to ruin other people's day.

For example (and this is no where near as bad as the OP) I was driving along minding my own business yesterday when some chick in the passenger seat of a 4x4 yells out "Your exhaust sounds like shit", then another guy in the back seat proceeds to make the "wanker" hand gesture out the window. I mean why? You may not like my car or my tastes, but mind your own f**king business.

S'all good though, they got stuck behind me at a set of lights and continued to yell shit so I sat there till the light went yellow then took off.

That's bad news dude, hope it buffs out.

People are all a bunch of kunce. I used to own a convertible. Without a roof, EVERYONE wants to scream shit at you. When my gf in the passenger seat was abused by a bunch of bogans I decided to sell it. F*ckin arseholes the lot of 'em.

Flamethrower exhaust will fix that problem for you...

hahahah, nice..

to the OP, i'd be happy to lend a hand if you want to bring it round - i can try and polish it out for ya... but i disagree with the others though, that looks like a paint job IMO, very hard to tell from the pics though.

by the way, i've got all the necessary tools for the job. Trust me, that sort of scratch will go no where by hand

ive come back to my car after work to see people standing around it in a circle and tell me that "It's no VS mate, hahaha" and "I know it's only a Skyline but you can atleast try do a burnout for us, hahah." Then I just get in and roll away slowly to dissapoint them all. Luckily for me I've had more positive comments yelled at me while driving rather than negative. I've been spat at and sweared at by the usual bogans but no physical damage has been caused as of yet. It's strange that even with a Skyline that looks very close to stock (just rims and exhaust) you can still attract so much attention.

    • 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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?
    • 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.
    • ..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.
