i always cop shit but i dont care cause its always by drunk knobs walking on the side of the road, who probably could never own and appreciate what we have, they get gelous and can only do one thing and thats rip us off.

yeh v8 guys do too, but usuall the people with quik v8s can show mutual respect and just give u a friendly comment about missing cylinders and shit, no big deal.

as for monaros and all that crap, man all you gota do is compare prices, what does a stock over 50 grand monaro rum, high 13`s, low 14`s, shit imagine what my 33 would run with over 50 gs spent...............oohhhh yummy:)

Why do the g/f's sitting in the passenger seats of their b/fs car always give you death stars and never look happy?

Cause they see you driving and want to swap places? No offence but green is not a becoming colour for a woman to turn :P

Driving through Sydney one day on my way into the city and I pulled up at a red light. No cars were around then as the lights went green, a 4WD full of Japanese people came up beside me and yelled out what we thought was "RACE US". The windows were down and me and my mate just looked at each other puzzled! I gassed it in 2nd gear to the next set of red lights and they turned green as i approached them

Hahaha, I'm thinking, what a tool in his V8 Landcruiser, go back to where my car came from. Then they came hooning up the side of me again and were abusing the shite out of us, wanting to race us again. They then proceeded to take a left turn into a side street.

I'm driving along asking myself what just happened, then it clicked. They didn't want to race me, they were calling me RACIST because my number plates are JAPCAR!

Group of people hanging around out front of a pub that had just closed, me and another Skyline stopped at the lights and someone yells out, "Look at the Monaro's" !!!!!

Generally I get nothing but nice comments and friendly waves from other cars but most Skyline drivers dis me. Apart from Shonen and GTR-80Y I've never had a friendly acknowledgment from an Asian looking Skyline driver. They are pretty Aussie-Asians though. Don't know why this is.

The only time I ever got beat at a traffic light grande prix was when I miss-pressed the button to change into 2nd gear whilst next to a SS ute. The guy thought he was so good.

Oh hang on... I remember one other time... A Datto 1600 with some serious power absolutely killed me in Canberra one time. Holy shit that thing was fast. He was doing 3rd gear fishies at 100km/h. His comment, "Get a Datto mate!"

i have a gold VL and it doesnt have a body kit or big shiny mag's the only thing that gives it away that it's pretty quick is the skyline GT badges on the side and the sticker 24 valve twin cam turbo.

One day i pulled up at the lights and i reved up this guy in a VT senator he looked at me and laughed so he must of thort what the hell ill give this guy a flogging when the light turned green we went for it, because of the T04 i have turbo lag untill bout 50 - 60 k's he had about 1 car length in front of me n then when i hit boost str8 past him i slowed down n waited for him to catch up n when he got to me he was shattered, all you have to remeber is "God invented turbo lag to give v8's a chance!!" :wassup:

Also i dont know any V8's that kicks out side ways at 80k's

I get a fair bit - my plates are 33PSI.

I wasnt trying to suggest that I am running "33 psi" but that i have a "r33 turbo".

One stupid chode at Harry's before I got my FMIC yelled out "how do you run 33psi without a cooler"

My immediate thought was "how the hell could you run 33psi in a skyline even if you did have a FMIC?"

Silver 33?

Golden Rules of street racers. Don't race anything that sounds like a tractor and don't race Datto's. They've either got a SR20, CA18, FJ20 or are standed. So either way, your going to get your arse flogged (unless you've got some serious power) or it's not worth it :D

Very good advice a mates got a 1600 with an FJ being transplanted as we speak and his older brother has a 1200 Ute with a CA both are weapons!

nothing worse than the "Jap crap" saying

god there is so many hypocritical and wrong things with that saying, no matter what car they drive u can guarantee majority of it was made in japan anyway.

You tell me a production engine built somewhere other than japan thats better than the 2JZ and RB26..... None.

Idiots, as if youd go that far out of your way to pay someone out for their pride and joy. I look at some cars and think man thats shit, but i dont actually say anything. Some people will never change

    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity.
    • 100% the factory sender is tapered, that is how it seals (well, that and teflon paste or tape)
    • Thanks folks - I've saved a few links and I'll have to think of potential cable/adapters/buying fittings. First step will be seeing if I can turn the curren abortion of a port into something usable, then get all BSPT'y on it. I did attempt to look at the OEM sender male end to see if it IS tapered because as mentioned you should be able to tell by looking at it... well, I don't know if I can. If I had to guess it looks like *maybe* 0.25 of a mm skinnier at the bottom of the thread compared to where the thread starts. So if it is tapered it's pretty slight - Or all the examples of BSPT vs BSPP are exaggerated for effect in their taper size.
    • 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.
