Ok Folks

My recently acquired Racing Red Suzuki Swift (1992 GA, 1Litre - 3 cylinder, 36kw of killer power, 5 speed) is up for sale - or hire (while your skyliner is in the shop).

I've decided to name her Angry Bird due to the fact I found a Red Angry Birds steering wheel cover that matches the awesomeness that is Swifty in Repco

The engine be very strong and has had work done to it and the gear box - recently. (Don't know what but all gaskets etc new)

For the last week I have:

- New exhaust

- New Windscreem

- New Century Ultimate Performance battery

- Fully serviced - Iridium Plugs, OEM Filters & Fluids. (includes engine and fuel system flush)

- Obtained RWC (ready for Rego which I'll get 3 months put on)

- Tyres look new (put new hubcaps on)

- Complete and full detailing (2 full days my effort :( )

- 650 kms per 40 litre tank - cheaper than chips to run

- Canberra car all it's life (no rust etc...)

- NO accident history - Straight as

- Oh and a New Sony Explode head unit with remote

Now I got it for F.A. off a neighbour but have spent just under $1400 on it (which will include the 3mths rego).

Genuine SAU folk - $1600 (your going to be driving it - and I'll check farkers !)

Friends, Family & Randoms - $1800

I'll Hire her out for $100 per week while I wait to offload her (plus fill it up on return).

Spotters fee $100 on Sale :D

:cheers:

This bitch be worth it

Cheers

Richard

If you own a Skyline and/or your modifying you know what ! your going to need something like this :yes:

or if you have one you can't park and leave for the day

Come and see it, you wont believe how good it is .....

Get amongst it quickly

Cheaper than a set of good rims and for this price you get a Rego'd car :woot:

^thought it was kitty litter at first :P

so had good fun driving the Swift out to the Friday night meet last night.

As I was leaving got the sign to light up the tyres on the way out ... yeah right, not likely

Lulz were had I'm sure, hehehe

    • 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.
    • ..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.
