What does the probe look like? Might be hard to get it in cause all the fittings are designed to be very tight.  It would be worth while speaking to toby about that.  I'd say he would have some good sugestions.

Just found the probe is missing from the farking apexi box!!!

***KKKKK

Can we buy it without the oil cooler core?

Ed - If you give Toby a call and let him know exactly what you need he can supply it. All parts of the kit can be bought seperatly. We wont however include this as part of a group buy.

Well, i finally just had everything fitted, and all is sweeeeeet! :cheers:.

No leaks, had plenty of hose and all is mounted solidly. Will post pics once car is back from Centreline Suspension.

Almost ready for the track :P!

I got it installed for a good price, as he is my regular mechanic and i got it done with a whole heap of other things. But i did ask him how much to install, as my mate is considering getting it done, and he said $150 drive in/drive out. That's for materials (brackets, bolts, etc), labour and powder coating (brackets).

Car still at Centreline, so i will post pics later this week.

How long did it take?

About 4 hours ... including making the brackets, running and cable tying the hoses, connecting the speedlock fittings and clamps, changing oil filter, fitting the bitch of a sandwich plate and refitting the front bar. :P

4 hours and alot of piss farting around :(

Mostly by Daz :(

I can say this oil cooler kit works very well on the track, my oil temps were below 100° all day at Sandown on Sunday and it was quite a warm day.. good stuff :(

    • 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.
    • 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.
