yeh saw that too rush, heading into the city. The decals/graphics are actually a spiderweb effect so im told.

Has the plates MO BASS

yeah i tried to grab the plates in my rear view mirror but no good, yeah i couldnt think how to explain the graphics, was thinken spashes or electricity, but spider web best describes it, i seen it at mile end

Spotted in city last night on south tce round 6 pm black 32 GTR and dark blue 32GTR also... then silver 33 near hutt st.... then Patrick giving me stickers!! cheers Pat.

The MOBASS car is owned by simon and joy, have known 'em for years... was originally vinyl stickers but recently had the spider web properly airbrushed.

just spotted Snake's R34GTR on North East Rd, Oakden - damn I love your car mate :laugh: Gave him the quick wtf look, and got one back :rofl: saw you too late to wave or beep :laugh:

Nah, that was him getting worried that you were gonna follow him, and try fornicating with is car...

Ditto, didnt realise till you were right along side.

Late this arvo Little Miss Boost (*flick*) going up Wright Rd. I was behind ya in a mini bus as you were crossing the Nth East Rd intersection & managed to catch glimpses of both sides of the front fenders...looks sweet :O. Do you still have the stock springs on?

Also spotted Patrick just past/before redline, i was waving like crazy out my window but dont think you saw me.
No sorry *flick* didn't see the lil crazy hand wave :P. What car were you in? Was I heading into or out of town?
Were you in the 4 door 34? Cos i spotted a silver 4 door 34 turning into a bp down wright road. Wasnt in my car at that stage though, so you mustve been stopped at the lights opposite me somewhere?

There was a black 33 at that intersection next to me, had SAU sticker on rear driver side window. Tried a few times to get your attention to give u a wave :S

and matty, didnt see ya sorry!

Was not in my skyline, was in my White Daihatsu Charade coming in the opposite direction past kmart and turning onto wright road to go home. You were waiting at the lights to turn right into wright road.

You car is looking real good!!!

Yeah still got stock suss but its been compressed a little.

As for yesterday, i was in my car - couldnt believe u could miss a bright orange car! lol. You were heading into the city.

Think i spotted cleangtst on my way home last night, love the dish on the rear rims! :(

Yeah on Main North Rd just before Munno. I love my deeep dishes :(

You caught me off guard thats the first time I've seen a Stagea in person. Very nice car, I do like'em :P

Seen miss32 a few times lately 2, last week on explorer pd near home and on main north in muno para the week before . Was in the family car though.

GTR is back on the road finally though, (8 months off road) and is only getting driven tuesday to work and maybe cruising on thurs/fridays.

Does any one on here no sly34 in the yellow 34 ?

Spot way too many skylines in a day.

1 x Serty1 at Flinders Monday/Tuesday parked outside the Flinders Uni oval, think you were getting stuff out the car, i was the white R32 leaving uni (had to pick up the gal).

1 x Gray/Silver R31 along South Road yesterday (6pm...)

1 x Dark Green R33 along Morphet Road (outside racecourse) at 5:45pm

Black one would be mine, thought I'd finally drop in and say hi again!

The dark blue GTR is a recent addition to South Terrace though.

On topic: Spotted Howie near at South Rd/Regency Rd intersection, although he spotted me first! Great looking car mate!

Your car looks clean and slick! Kinda wish I had a little more incentive to keep my car clean but black is such a PITA colour.

Finally got my clutch changed to something more usable for a daily driver, currently looking at the SydneyKid group buy for suspension because I'm just tired of driving around with dud front shocks.

I don't believe I'm still fixing up the car after 5 years of owning it, old cars FTW!

    • 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.
