lol probably.............im just driving and saw the tail lights and im like ohhh a blue r34...........must catch up :) too my surprise it was a GTR............certaintly made up day after seeing it!

the guy wasnt afriad to give it some either..........in a 60 zone............was not doing 60 at one stage :P

Hey Fella's,

Was out last night and not sure about what time but three R33 skylines were pulled over by i think four cops. I'm not sure if i saw correct but i know one of the R33's was on a truck and it seemed like the other two were deemed to the same fate. Anyone else see this or know what happened? This was just after Cross Road/Anzac Hwy intersection towards town. My brother was behind me and reckons he saw the same thing just wondering if anyone else knew/saw this.

Also spotted alot of nice cars out last night. All forms of R31, 32, 33 & 34. Even some nice other imports.

Dan :P

spotted helso. went to wave but didnt come out right. spotted a white 33 heading towards ttp around 10. spotted a silver 33 near hjs ridgehaven.

that was prob me the silver 33 last nite, as i was with some mates just drivin round that area lol

Around the city area today, spotted silver stagea and a silver 32 with blue front bar (possibly Nisskid from here?) wave at both but got snubbed by both..

oh sorry, did u wave? i was just having a suss of ur car and didnt see u wave. i recognized u off here but didnt think u saw me.

sorry bout that anyways, honestly didnt see u wave :( if i did i would have chucked u one back.

Spotted: A gunmetal greay 4 dr 32 followed you down windys

me maybe? im always up and down windy's but usually notice imports if they are on there. did it have a SAU sticker on the top, or a RIP drift pig sticker?

Nah no stickers at all, I had the external gate going off the guy knew about it lol and give him the nod as i went past.

saw miss r34 near adelaide air port the other day i was in a white van with RIP DRIFT PIG stick on rear checking u out lol

i was wondering who that was :( , thought it was abit weird that a van had a RIP DRIFT PIG sticker on it :)

spotted this morning, M JAY on my way to work.

    • 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.
