Put some hawk pads in they seem very good

Should be for 500+ ... What the f*k?

Suspension seems good on the street

Will give a run down tomorrow at the track

Just going out to replace the o44 now and then pack her up for track time tomorrow

Come in spinner

What compound pads? I started with blues for the track and have just stepped up to HT-10's. Like them a lot but probably could have gone to the HT-60's.

They are way cheaper out of the US just $60 shipping that's a pain.

Yea I got the 60's

Anyway bitter sweet today

Got out and did one lap and the lift pump started to die, starve the engine putted around for a few more laps but the miss just it worse

Turns out the previouse noise was the external pump starving so I replaced that for no reason, so the spare will now go in as the lift pump

In other news the coil overs were epic

Knocked 2 seconds of the pb in one lap and I am sure there would have been another few without much trouble

Highly recommended... Turns out those mexicans at race pace know what they r doing

so ripped the intank pump out

had rust on the 044 housing

also fine rust on the intank sock (e85 is cleaning out the fuel system obviously as the tank is plastc)

replaced it and the car ran well but still had a missfire

will replace the fuel filters and see if that fixes it tonight

if that doesnt work ill compression test the old girl to see if i have hurt her running those laps at the track while down on fuel pressure

next tune a fuel pressure sensor is going in and will add engine protection to haltech

Yea they are pretty dam good on the street soak up the bumps well

At he track when you cut a kerb it just squats and down to business

Old coil were like getting punched in the face when you hit a kerb and then u were thrown across the track

If only someone would tell us what the pharken spring rates are.

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
