Hiya JT,

Welcome to SAU.NSW

Scroll down to "NSW" and you'll notice that we have...

* Cruises

* Tech Nights

* Track Days

* Hill Climbs

* Texis

You're welcome to join in!

And for Tech Nights, join up!

Yes infact they do but 90% of people on here are R chassis owners. Also a vast majority of those people dont class V series skylines as "real skylines" because they dont have an RB, roubd tail lights and 90% of V35 are auto.

Its may sound awesome and easy as it seems "welcome to join!" other than the stagea cruise i just attended not long ago every SAU NSW meet ive been to i felt far from welcome, had smart ass remarks said and just didnt enjoy my time.

If its not R chassis your not welcome. Thats all i got.

You have a serious in-superiority complex don't you? This is like the 3rd or 4th time you still have shared the same old butthurt story.

Members own all kinds of different cars. The president owns a Chaser. Yes, there are R chassis cars, there are 5 series of them and amazingly, we're on the Skylines forum. Other Members own Evos, Falcons, MX5s, Stageas, Silvias etc etc. If you have ever seen a Vid of the Texikhana that the clubs holds, then you will see the variety of different cars that turn up. We've had V35s and 36s on the pan, ripping it up and people loving it.

You're not going to gel with every person you meet in life, and just because you have cars in common its not a magical thing that means that everyone will love each other.

So, come along and meet some people. Thats my message to OP. Get involved, there are social events, cruises, and motorsport events for people of all kinds of abilities.

Give it a go. If you don't like it, that's fine, nothing lost. But I reckon you'll have a heap of fun getting involved. :)

Sau NSW is a great club to get involved in, friendly bunch, no sense of elitism like I've seen with some other clubs which I won't mention.

As far as cruises go there were a few organised for v series/350z before but thats a long time ago. You can always try & organise your own.

OP best to check out the sub-forum for the state/territory you live in to see what cruises & events are planned in your area

Texi days are lots of fun too, check out the NSW section if you live there

Definitely come along and don't listen to the guy saying you won't be welcome.

I've had 2 different V35's, attended several events including track days with both and never once did I feel unwelcomed. What a load of crap.

Just look at the mix of cars the NSW members, let alone execs drive. Everything from skylines, to stageas, to evo's to commodores to mx5's.

I think honestly there are probably a few people around on these forums that just dislike the V, but that's just their opinion. If you don't like the V they shouldn't buy one. I haven't been to a meet yet but plan too, I'm sure it won't that bad.

let arrange a meeting for V

    • 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.
