Ahoy doods and doodettes,

I need to do some stuffs to my car, and I needa a jack and some stands to do it! I'd buy the stuff, but it won't fint in my car with all my other stuff when I go to drive back to Brisbane on Tuesday. SO, if anyone has a fairly low service jack (~90mm), and 2 car stands for a 34 for me to borrow I would be elated. Let me know your price! For free I hope! :D There will be some beer innit. :thumbsup:

Cheers!

Dion.

Is it any good to you that...

1) you come up to the Blue Mtns tomorrow with your stuff

2) drive your car up onto low ramps (for low lip cars)

3) use the normal hydraulic jack (since not many people have the very low jacks)

4) put jack stands underneath

???

BTW I don't drink beer > makes me quite violent :P

Terry, thank you very much for your generous offer. But I don't trust anyone who doesn't drink beer... :cheers:

Stephen, I'll give you a buzz tomorrow dude. All I gotta do is change my oil! There are no free gutters around my place, to do the Thailand-technique. I did consider using bricks and my wind-up, but I don't wanna die! Actually, I've seen your jack.... :unsure: Maybe I'll head up and spend the arvo with Terry... lol

And hi Nera! :laugh:

      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?

      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.

      ..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.
