if you are late, you take the M4 and then the Reservoir Rd exit (stick to your left) and it's the 2nd street on the left called 'Cricketers Arms Rd'

Hate to be a wet blanket.

But last time I went to the drive-ins I nearly tore off my front bumper...The bumps to get the cars at a an angle to the screen are not gtr front spoiler friendly......

Or it could of been just me,.

well, the movie was great. i was so scared of those flying dragons/dodo birds but i had loz with me and he held my hand so i was ok.

good call on the pub jen, i'd definately make the trip for that one again.

highlight of the night- loz in the backseat of his car, me next to him (no we weren't), matboy in the passengers seat and eugen driving. it's about 4:30, we'd just left panthers & the birds were chirping when all of a sudden there's some sparks beneath the steering wheel. next thing we know there's smoke pouring out of the gap between the right guard and the bonnet. loz starts screaming, 'get out. get out, we're gonna catch on fire, get out'

so we make a frantic run for it and open the bonnet....

...and what do we see....

....RICE ATTACK....

one of his wires for the led's made contact with the chassi which could have burned his car down. maybe.

but it just goes to prove...

....Beware of the rice!:uh-huh:

hahaha yeh so you city folks experienced the bogan scene first hand... :) .. too bad we didnt go out earlier to see the 100s of utes all with like 5million antennas like 4meters high on em!! :lol:

:lol: i cant belive loz sat in the back seat of his own car!!! poor!

yeh let this be a warning kids.. RICE KILLS!!! :lol:

loz man.. is ur left leg like a tree stump or what! after pushing that clutch day in and day out it should fckn be!!!

(ahhh i love brass button nice and soft. :D )

    • 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.
