topSecretCustomerV35Skyline.JPG

Owww man, i never knew they have already released the next skyline, a dam maxima / 350z clone... That car looks great.... for a luxury car, not a skyline!

Maxima's are great for an older driver wanting comfort, but for the skyline to be another maxima. That's stupid. F#ck renault. The G35 Isnt even a bloody turbo is it? + it's a V6... It's lost everything about Godzilla.

Are they going to release an r35 too? Coz i've seen the mad looking concepts of that one.

geno8r: Do a seach before posting dude! I must admit, when I saw the thread title I thought "oh no, here we go again..."

The forum is called "The Next Skyline", but that means the V36 Skyline + GT-R, not the V35 (you probably know that now so I'll shuddup)

Regardless of the next skyline V36 or whatever... that doesnt change anything about my original post, its a dam maxima. & an r35 like in the pics would be sweet.

But if you did a search before posting you would realise that, a. there is no such thing as an R35, and b. Those two gt-r concept pictures have been doing the rounds for 4+ years and won't look anything like them.

F#ck renault, how could they kill godzilla, the r32, 33, & 34 have been the best series of skylines ever, bit of shame if there isnt ever going to be an r35 which it seems.

ausgtr I never said there was going to be an r35, i asked if there was going to be one?

Quote Post #1 "Are they going to release an r35 too?"

Yes, i thought those pics looked like an r35 concept, they surely look like a progression of the r34, what are those concepts then, to what model name were those concepts called then? Those image filenames are labelled r35, & when i did a search on r35, that’s what came up. Would you not agree that the concept does not best resemble what a possible r35 could be?

:P

geno8r: do a search, and read some of the material thats been posted in this forum already. I assure you if you had read some of the threads about the next GT-R, you wouldn't be asking these questions.

The next GT-R is going to be the first of the next *generation* GT-R, so it's highly unlikely that they'll keep using the "R" prefix... although as Carlos Ghosn is a wannabe tryhard sportscar enthusiast bean counter, anythings still possible at this stage.

AS for those "concept" pics you posted, they aren't concepts pics.... they're just photochops put together by some Chinese graphic design Uni student about 4 years ago.

    • 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.
