Hey guys,

I am having a "I really want a Toyota Celsior" moment, but also wouldn't mind sliding back into a Cressy either.

I have a 1989 Nissan R31 Ti Skyline with an RB25DET and 25DET manual box, build threads are somewhere hanging around.

Features on the dirty 1:

RB25DET, high-mount china turbo rebuilt by CGC to GT35 specs (have receipts)

Turbosmart 44mm external gate

One month old full 3in exhaust system, over diff, new muffler, quiet as. Screamer pipe with a section that can be plumbed in/taken out.

Intercooler mounted up high with the radiator - cannot see this from the front. Full stealth mode.

Apexi Power FC

GReddy electronic boost controller; 15psi hi, 12psi lo, 10psi off

Have dyno-read outs. 270rwkW on 15psi. The latest one (a week before I had bought it) was in the afternoon at a dyno-day with the workshop admitting their dyno reads low and made 253rwkW on 15psi.

Will be getting it tuned again very soon by Uni Group Engineering.

Emotion coilovers all round - 12kg F/10kg R

HR31 (import) brakes and hubs up front

Minispool with 4.11:1 final drive ratio

Ti Skyline stockies with new Kumho tyres all round

Standard interior with full electrics, minus an aftermarket steering wheel. CD player and two subs in boot.

Heaps of other things. Car is fantastic to drive. Exterior has a couple faults - I had a drift incident a while ago, so the bonnet is slightly dented and the grill cracked. I have a new grill. I am waiting for my guitar to sell, and am getting the entire car resprayed. This can be done before a trade, or without. Either way.

I run the car on 12psi all day every day. I have done two drift events in it, and was fantastic all day every day. Except when a cooler pipe blew, but oh well. That was fixed, obviously.

I have a lot of pics, so PM me if you are interested. Is a tidy car overall, and will suit someone who wants to go sideways at a million Ks an hour. I drive the car every day.

Registered until September this year. Is NOT engineered in NSW, but it is in QLD. I am keen to drive up for the right car.

FOR OUTRIGHT SALE: Chasing 6500ono!

Please note that a deal for the SSRs to come with the car will have to be made as they are not mine. They are for sale seperately for $700, but for 6.8 you can have them and I'll pass the 700 to the rightful owner.

Wheels that will come with the car are the Ti stockies with near new Kumho tyres, plus 16x10 +25 and 16x8 +/-0 wedge-style steelies.

Contact me on either [email protected] or 0401 198 992.

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.
