Thats generally what happens when guys misplace their balls.

a woman convinces you selling the car is necessary, and may even drop a threat if u don't.. so you sell the shit to buy a house. Wow 10k closer to your deposit..

a while later you round up the remaining cash and buy the house, and you think to yourself... Gee I'd really love a skyline again. Well too bad. For starters ur Mrs knows she could make u sell it and that she can probably stop you buying too. That and the fact you now have a mortgage and are on struggle street, not to mention your Mrs now wants a child..

all the while you realise you could have just garaged the car and kept it for a rainy day.. coz you still want the thing and the 6k it was worth was only 6 months worth of saving anyway - but now you have a mortgage and will never buy another car again.

I hope this has been educational. Men cannot function without a productive hobby, and women need to realise this by being told. No hobby turns you into a waste of a person, always down and depressed. Don't do it.

get rid of the girl before you get rid of the car. Mark my words.

Great advice. Thinking about it now, being without my r33 for the past 2-3 months is starting to wind me up. Wouldnt be happy at all if i were asked to sell it! ( unless its to upgrade to a GTR, lol)

That is the most insightful thing I have read on SAU in a long time :)

Gotta agree with Scotty here

Without the car hobby all I would be doing in my spare time would be cleaning the house and gardening lol

Got a mortgage, getting married soon, and even if kids decide to pop out. The skyline will still be in the garage!

You guys know how to handle your shiz.

Mine kicks my arse for spending while were trying to save for a house, but I don't mind so much because I want the house too. Admittedly we don't earn a lot and living expenses are up there. Lucky to save $500 a fortnight so its all warranted.

I have set out an agreement that money I earn working on dudes cars is my own personal cream I can use towards my own build. So its well sorted! She also well and truly understands the car is a vital element to maintaining my sanity. Got it sorted.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
