thats ok I guess Im still trying to come up with a way to get these parts in the garage so the missus doesnt see em...

label them as "power tools" ;)

would anyone be interested in FRP parts as well?

im looking at some TS style diffusers, headlight intakes and rear pods, theyre alot cheaper then the CF parts as well which is good :)

Elvis, do an EOI in here :)

List up products and prices.

Best way to do it imo. I am always interested in things, but the price a lot of the time deters me.

Well, put a list up in this thread? If you get enough interest here, then create a group buy thread and if it fails, it fails you close it.

If it works, more people will be interested and drawn in by the title?

Jibberish haha.

Yeah put a list of parts available up, surely it couldn't hurt.

Most people watching this thread will be interested in other possibilities.

Cf or Frp 33 roof spoilers???

Cf dash pieces???

Definitely interested in some FRP pieces too. Reckon there'd be some support for them for sure.

Would be very keen for some DMAX style wide guards.

hey guys, i will go through everything tonight and PM you all for payment of the remaining balance and give you shipping quotes.

for all who's ordered the OEM R34 wing blades, there might be a slight issue with the design, not sure yet and i have emailed the supplier to see what they have to say. Once i hear from them, i will update this thread with details.

for others who ordered everything else, expect a PM b tomorrow.

Cheers

    • 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.
