Is this the successor to the terrano II? it looks like a small suv like the dualis, have nissan sorted out these issues with the juke?

Nissan is recalling 28,294 2011 Juke models to fix a sensor bracket that may separate from an air inlet tube. The vehicle may go into "fail safe" model and the warning light will turn on. If a driver continues to operate the vehicle, it may stall during idling and in rare cases may not restart.Nissan said its testing over the last year in the U.S. showed that the vehicle would not stall without warning at higher than idling speeds. But Nissan said it has seen recent incidents in foreign countries of vehicles stalling without first going into "fail safe" mode. In those cases, the vehicles couldn't be restarted. Dealers will replace the air inlet tube if necessary. The vehicles were built between April 2010 and May 2011.

cost though- think about it. whilst I understand what you are trying to do have a look at the Z11 market. these things are still sitting in lots at $15k and from my understanding are a bit hard to move.

I can't see a $20-25K juke going anywhere fast myself. if the mainstream guys (and the ones we have in common) get them then its going to be a minefield trying to find one thats straight and not wet.

seems someone has a different idea in brissy. I saw a early toyota Will V putting around today with a trade plate on it . I think gearing was driving it.

Yeah but you're old and you don't get that young people like Jukes :P

I've got someone in Sydney prepared to drop folding on the test car and pay for all the testing too. Like most newer cars, they may not be a good bet now, but they will be in a couple of years.

And I will laugh heartily if Gearing is seriously considering the Will V...

he already has a mitsi M there.. (fuel version of the MIEV) so if would not surprise me.

if you have someone ready to commit that sort of money then by all means. I still do not see it going anywhere myself.

most of the guys I know have moved away from cars and gone to motorhomes,bikes and US iron.

and yes I am old :P

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      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

      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.
