Thanks guys I have some of your PM's. I'm flat out at work today and will only be able to respond after five. Thanks for your patience.

If you havn't PM'd me yet please do.

As time is getting closer, just wondering if this all can be done before the next fun day 19th Dec @ Winton?

PS: not sure if I have mentioned in PM, but I DO NOT require remote oil filter setup.

Shouldn't be a problem mate. I'll get all the details off to Toby @ Meridian tomorrow. He can order what he doesn't have overnight and can start shipping early next week.

Is it too late to put in an order?? For R32 GTST.. are the prices the same as before?

Credit card payment alright? Did anyone get Meridien to install theirs? How much was it??

If its too late its all good, we're up for the next group buy so let me know.

woot! So many questions, thanks :rant:

(so hard to keep up with the forum *and* maintaining 3 nissans, let alone anything else!!)

No, Not too late yet. Prices have all stayed the same as in the 1st post. Credit Card can be arranged. Meridian have done a few of these for SAU people, but they do them all the time on a large variety of cars. Installs can be arranged after the group buy has gone thorugh. But please go through here for the group buy price 1st.

Each install will vary as diff model lines have diff amount of space in front bars. Install is based on man hours to get the job done. Meridian have looked after us when installs have been difficult, by not charging us the full amount of hours spent on the install.

This round of oil coolers will be closed by the end of next week 10/12/04

Please PM me with the following details:

1. Your mobile number (In case we need to ask you anything)

2. Your prefered method of payment

3. Your intended place of install (behind radiator, front bar - drivers - passengers)

4. Your shipping address

5. Your vehicle type

6. any other information you think may be relevent.

I will reply with a price and information on how to make payment.

Damn... My posts keep disappearing from this thread.

Update: I have two payments. RS73 and LTSJayce

Toby @ Meridian has been very busy and will get some quotes to me tomorrow for Nightcrawler

Nozilla and GTShortie are you still interested in this group buy?

Looks like three people have pulled out and we may need one more for this round to go ahead.

Got PM. Responded.

Trust R33 - All the oil coolers I have seen come from Meridian so far have been brand new in a sealed box with plastic end caps on the cooler. I would imagine that Meridian dont sell anything reconditioned as they are a race shop (similar to revolution racegear), and not an importer, or car wrecker. But if you can PM me or email me the details I can make an inquiry for you. They are good blokes and i'm sure they would be happy to respond to any questions you may have.

What? Thats not good if it is a reconditioned one! How do you tell? It better be new when mine arrives...

LARGE case of "ditto"!I'm still 99.9% confident that a newie should show for all of us...I'm sure there's been an addressing mixup or similar.I know at my shop we've got 25 people and twice in the last 4 years a part was wrongly addressed and sent.If that was the case,imagine the look of glee the other bloke had when his "reconditioned" cooler showed up looking like brand new!!

Toby has advised that all oil coolers purchased from Meridian are brand new. The one that Trust 33 received had been painted twice in the factory for some reason. In fact the one I got which works fine on my car was exactly the same.

    • 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.
    • 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.
