Bad news: last minute notice from work i have to go away for a conference for 8 days from the 23rd April, so i won't be able to send out anything until i return on the 4th of May. I will pm everyone when i return with final costs and shipping quotes. sorry about this, but im sure the savings are worth the wait :D

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

    • 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.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
