Never do simple jobs when you know you will need the vehicle. How many times I have done a 5 min job b4 camping or a big trip and it turns to shit.

Yeah. It always happens to me like that. I was just concerned about driving without a low pressure warning of some kind.

+1 to this haha.

I started last Tuesday with thinking I would fix my loose front bar.

Still havent got the car back on the road because I pulled it off then decided to clean the intercooler.

Then while I was at it decided to put the new SS1 in.

Its been nearly a week off the road now haha

it is why I bought a $450 3 cylinder 1L charade for a shitbox A-B car that never breaks down when my skyline is off the road.

[lilcrash]

Well up until last week I still had my moms Camry so I never worried about it. I think I might look for a cheap scooter.

Best part about that is 3 cylinder motors have the same exhasut harmonics as a 60 deg V12

go record some tunnel runs!!!

Kind of how a civic with a blown head gasket on cylinder 3 has the same harmonics as an EJ20?

Sounds awesome, till you realise its not. lol.

Steven,

Scooter for the Win. My skyline has been off the road for over 6 months. So for the past 6 months I Have been sharing a car with the wife, until this month when my work hours got changed.

Went and purchased a brand new Adly 50cc scooter for 2k. My 14.4KM journey to work is now extremely fun, fuel costs have gone down from $75pw to $20pw(Including oil) and biggest thing, parking has gone from $75pw to nothing.

Only thing I have yet to figure out is how to have my 2 morning drive smokes when on the scooter.

when it rains you are going to love your scooter let the wide ride it on those days

The sensor I pulled out was a temp sensor, I have an r34 and a autometer sender but both are m10x1.0. The hole is m12x1.25

[BOOZTJUNKEY]

Well wack and M12 bolt in there for now and plug it lol

And I thought they were 1/8 npt fittings ? Auto meter gauges are usually 1/8 npt fitting but come with the adapters for bigger holes :-)

[lilcrash]

Yeah i threw a bolt in.

That's what I thought too but yeah. It's weird. Where is the oil pressure sender in everyone else's car?

[zebra]

If you have been driving around with no pressure sender you would be grinding metal on metal in a couple of minutes

I think you are looking at something else

[lilcrash]

I just don't understand why the sender isn't in the sandwich plate like every other car

Edited March 19, 2012 by lilcrash

Factory pressure sender is under the intake manifold above the oil filter. But on the block itself

[lilcrash]

Never mind. I'm just retarded. Now why did I have a temp sensor for no reason?

[lilcrash]

It was on the sandwich plate. Opposite side to the temp sensor. My hands just couldn't find it. My wife is awesome though
