Hi Guys,

im after a full 3 inch exhaust to suit my M35 can swap my standard one plus cash your way if your looking to go back to standard.

also after a full set of tail lights including the center brake light at the top. i want to experiment with some LED shapes inside the lights.

Thanks

Justin

I have the tail lights and stop light, but they are perfect off a low K Axis. I won't be selling them cheap.

You looking for S/H exhausts, or shiny new parts?

hey scotty,

If you Have the axis lights, i assume you have the reverse and the fog? thats what i have on mine but i actually want the 2 reverse lens....out of curiosity how much? sell them separately?

The exhaust, i really dont mind if its second hand or new. Just as long as the condition is good.

You have the snow pack. Are your wipers heated in the windscreen?

The Axis has the same snow pack, so I think the fog at the back. I will check tomorrow.

not real sure about the wipers, but yeah mine is the axis with all the options except sunroof.

Oh, you got the stagea tent....?

If not, you don't have all the options :P

that would be a rag top then hey? lol

i will chalk up another post for you guys!

Think this post has been hijacked.

Now if I had 2 of those Stagea tents, I could put one on each side....hummm.

Must slow you down a bit though. Car would be inclined to take off like a bird hey....

I wonder if they come in Pink?

Parts still needed! I don't need a bloody tent off the side of the Stagea though.

Are people just trying to get there post numbers up?

There are cars wrecking you can buy lights off.

Exhaust options are everywhere, Scotty, jap systems from cat back, custom items.

You think something is going to land in your lap? Just have a look around. Don't be lazy.

No thats just the way this forumn is. Rarely you will get a full system under 1600 unless its a little battered. Brand cat backs go for about 900-1200. www.justjap.com have a blitz cat back for about 1100 or you could source from japan but you will have to search for what you require. Or go to an exhaust shop and get one made. As in dumps you have 2 main options scotty dump (scotty mn35) and am performance (bigkevracing or ebay) hope this helps. Also there is or was a set of lights on ebay aswell not. Happy trails

Thanks for your positive input mate. Wish more people were like you.

As for the lights on eBay, I checked them out, sent an offer of $150 they accepted but then proceeded to tell me they have recently been cracked....

Wake up to yourself!

Isn't the forums about helping each other out?

I'm not lazy by any standards. I'm just seeing if anyone has second hand items I need. I know what's available new. You don't need to tell me, its common knowledge.

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
