Ah sorry boys sounded a bit dumb what I said there I was running penrite sin and switched to royal purple! Mate it's done alot for me car it's runs way smoother, revs better, comes on boost way faster, just changed the whole way the car is! U will know what I mean when and if u try it it runs MAD! Now

regardless of the OP's lack of explanation..royal purple produce great oils. Using them in my gearbox and diff's - performing great.

Although the one hate i do have with them, is the dark colour of the oil makes it hard to tell if the oil is getting contamintated by something.

the question i would put to you is how often do you change you oil if going from one oil to another made that much difference

I change the oil in yhe missus mazda every 10k as per schedule, went from penrite every day synthetic to motul 8100, felt better instantly.

felt crisper, slightly up on power.

I was actually surprised.

Penrite Synthetic what?

All the things you have mentioned point to the fact you probably went to a less viscous oil. I could achieve similar by purchasing no name oil with a lower viscosity.

This guy smells like Sheene the infamous sau ganster rapper, that cuts like chuuudder. He has bumped all his fav threads, and has the same prose. Aka, Onefaster26, and Sheene Ellis, the starter of what turned into the red head thread. Also likes starting similar mind numbing threads.

      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.
