ANy scratches on them? i cant tell by the photos, unless you have closer pics to send to my email : [email protected]

If they are all in exc condition with no scratches il take them for sure, but Im in melbourne. Does $2750 sound reasonable? ill pay postage.

You can call me on my mobile to discuss further. Very keen on buying but will only buy on confirmation from you that there are not scratches or major curbing etc. cheers

Yes the wheels are still available, and yes I will answer all questions. Just be patient please, I do have to work during the day.....

The wheels have NO CURB DAMAGE whatsoever. Some very minor light scratches and small chips here and there as a result of general road use. Some cut and polish will remove most of this and only necessary if you are really pedantic.

The tyres should only be considered as temporary in my opinion.

I'll upload some more pics of closeups as close as my camera will go tonight....

I took the pictures tonight, but had the email I was sending to myself at home blocked as the files added up to 23 Mb!! I'll adjust our mail server tomorrow and try again , but I think I'll have to reduce the resolution so that people who request photos dont have download issues. The photos came out well however.

The tyres are Bridgestone Potenza RE040 245/40/18. There is about 2-3 mm of tread on two of the tyres. Probably about 1-2 on the other two, however the centre section is worn almost flat on those...I'd say they were probably over inflated. The pictures will show it all.

Apologies for the delay...I'll get onto it ASAP....

A close up photo package is now available for those seriously interested. Unfortunately it is about 14 Mb in size. I cant do much less without losing much of the detail that everyone want s to see. I'll email to interested parties. If you have difficulties with the size of the file PM me and let me know.....

      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.

      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.
