nothing beats the noise of a straight pipe either :)

i dunno.. sometimes i hear "wahahwahasdasdasd" screamed out as i fly past by some ****s that don't realise you cant hear shit outside the car when you're going at high speed... so no idea what they were saying. i am sure it made them feel better.

once i "may have" lost traction coming out of a servo.. i think i know what the guy in the townhouse across the road was saying that time :D i did want to stop and make more noise ..shitboxes are the best fun for annoying people.

I waited until we got to about 60, then pinned it in second and left them standing. Hahahaha the look on their faces was priceless :)

Hahah good story revhead, as for waiting tilll 60.. f*** that, boot it from the word GO and really shit in their face. All this talk of tools in there V8's thinking they're "all that" is annoying. When you get the chance to race a V8 who thinks he's the shit... you do.. & you do it good, because most skylines are faster than any holden & these V8 tools need to be put in their place... No being nice let them thinking they have a chance, f*** that I'll be loosing traction in front of them wheelspining to 100...

Theres nothing wrong with a V8, just a dickhead thinking he's the shit coz he's driving one, "yeh im a hard c*** coz my SS looses traction in 1st from having too much power & your skyline is a slow peice of japcrap". If you have a fast V8, thats kool, i'd probably even want a drive, but thinking your HSV is better than my jap crap, you'll be put to shame 'like so many skyline drivers do to holdens'

Do i think im the shit coz i drive a skyline, no, I just love a good piece of fast efficient machinery, & i will put some1 in their place if they're ignorant enough to think a skyline is slow or shit.

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.

Tru that.

& that's my aggressive 2 cents...

Hehe yeah the sound of a V8 is nice, but its the ****slap behind the wheel who gives em a bad name. Once pulled up at a red light to a VY HSV Clubsport R8. He thought we was top shit revving his engine like a spastic. I just idled nicely giving him a "wtf" look. When the light turned green BOOM. Floored the **** outta it. He got up first of course (thanks turbo lag) but when my turbo kiked up to 17PSI i flew past him like a V8 was nothing. Waved back at him out of the window. He had nuffin else to say. Just shows how a 2.5Ltr Engine can shit over a 5.7 GEN III (Shittest engine) V8.

    • 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.
