I'll be down the coast this weekend.

Most likely will be parked, how are the cops down there?

I havent have any problem with cops down the coast but if you're going to the spit on a Sunday, that might be a different story.

Yep. Going to park it at the apartment on Sunday haha.

Not worth the risk. Saturday however. Coming down brandon?

Nah. If I knew about the Supra cruise I would have made myself free but already have plans. How did the cruise go?

Hi Ivan

Made a couple of sets of wing plates so have them in stock if you still require other wise no problems

Hey mate looks like we just have to wait till next months meet :(

I got one of the guys making me carbon fibre end plates for GTR wing on my R33 cant wait to get them. And i might get him to make me the blade too :)

Unfortunately I do believe he sold his R33 late last year, however, he did seem mighty keen to get his hands on another one down the track.

I'm keen to attend the monthly meets... hopefully we can round up a few more fellow liners tho :thumbsup:

I've been travelling in the US for the last 6 mths, so missed the meetings. will be at the Feb night though.

good to keep this a regular thing.

whilst in the States I went to the '2011 Sturgis Motor Cycle Rally...200,000+ bikes..one small town [sturgis]...one week!!. fantastic.

    • 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
    • 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.
