It's a pity that one of the requirements wasn't - It should look like a skyline. Would love to go on this run except all I've got is an R31 Nissan Pintara with a complete Skyline front. Can't afford the 6 cylinder engine. Hope you guys do good on the run. Cheers.

Inbox tony (t5iv) and talk to him

I'm pretty sure a pinny is pretty much a skyline

So this is only 4 weeks away, has anyone organise meeting spots for before hand yet? I am south side and could possibly do the south side/gold coast meet..

I believe Scott was thinking or organising one but last he heard he may not be able to make it due to work. You interested in organising one?

Yep, this is Skylines Australia not commodore, zed, Silvia, Volo, prius Australia forum.. If I wanted to go on a cruise or be in a club with a billion different makes and models I would go to them clubs...

While part of me sees where you are coming from, another part of me thinks your blowing things out of the water, the 350Z is basically the same car as a v35 skyline. Putting a car like that in the same class as a commodore or prius is just plain silly and blowing things out of the water.

tubz05,

Bring them along. More the merrier however if there are known twits amongst your group they are not welcome. For the first time in 10 yrs I am actually coming in a skyline. Previously it was what ever I was driving at the time .(bear in mind I am a sponsor and can get away with it. )

Hey Chris,

No twits amongst us mate, we respect our cars too much to flog it on the streets, thats what the racetrack is for :), Tony has joined our forum and has told us what its all about. At this stage it will probably be only 2 or 3 of us.

I'm welcoming the Zeds, hell they're more Nissan than I am. I love car cruises, everyone is a car lover and wants to be there that's the main thing...

I'm not saying we should invite Kevin in his mums vs commo but if it's clean and they want to come in their zeds the more the merrier, mayb if you want to be picky have them follow us in "seperate" groups.

I don't really care, I'll be there having a ball in my car. I look forward to this event all year and no amount of bickering amongst us will change that, it's for CHARITY people..... Geez :dry:

    • 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.
