I can't make it. Cars not ready(legally), it's drizzling down here so no bike. Booking an appointment to get it licensed this upcoming week (could fail fuel gauge doesn't work). Imports night might be ok, but if it's gonna be that packed I might steer clear, too much attention. We should still cruise that night though. Sorry z00key, I tried as hard a single could to get the car done in time. See you at work tomorrow?

It is quite odd that this was made official and that was going ahead, only for a meet point to be changed on the last day.
I didn't show up because of the confusion of the meet point changed all of a sudden I cannot be at 2 meet points at once, Elle what is your reason for a no show given you were up for it?

Can we establish what's the point of doing this or do we want to actually do a meet or cruise?

Things come up, im not fussed people didnt turn up. Ellie called me said she can still come but i said prob not worth her making the long trip. We are going to catch up next saturday at the wa imports meet, im not going on the cruise but the meet is normally cool so far over 1000 people going

Ok so its next Saturday wa imports and where is it held at ?

And what time ?

Ill be keen for a meet.

Should take advantage of inviting other skyline owners to join SAU WA try build it up again. Maybe more would meet last night!

    • ..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.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
