Thats a great looking Skyline R32 GTR

well here is mine. it's pretty much fresh from japan. it did have a basic $20 car wash though, but that's it. came up pretty well considering. :P sadly for me it's already up for sale. but I have something new on the way. :P

Jeeez! That looks real nice! Liking the front bar..

Thanks mate. :P I like it too. Though I think it needs the nismo side skirt extensions to go with it, as from side on you can really see how much lower the front bar is than the stock side skirts. :P

here is what's next. my RX-7. it's a 2001 RZ model which means it is a bit lighter than the regular FD and it comes with carbon kevlar recaros, and BBS wheels and bilsteins plus it's only a 2 seater. I just had the engine rebuilt at pre-stage in japan which is a small but highly regarded rotary tuner. http://www.prestage.rgr.jp/workscar.html should be a fun car.

these pics are just fresh off the docks. not even a wash. :thumbsup:

damn that is a very nice clean looking rz you got.

If you dont mind me asking how much has it cst you so far??

don't really want to say. :dry: I've spent a bit on it. :) had the engine rebuilt etc all costs money. Plus now that I'm moving house I don't have as much car space as I used to so it will probably be for sale sooner or later. It's a pretty nice car though, quite low kms and I have the books for it too. It's surprising how good it looks for car that just came off the docks, it will look nice after a wash.

some info on the RZ for those that are interested. they are apparently the rarest variant of RX7 you can get. :)

The RX-7 Type RZ is a performance-enhanced limited edition version of the RX-7, Mazda's rotary engine-powered sports car. Type RZ is equipped with red custom full-bucket seats manufactured by Recaro, a custom suspension system manufactured by Bilstein, and custom aluminum wheels manufactured by BBS. These and other enhancements reduce the overall weight of the Type RZ by approximately 10kg, improving handling and performance. The Type RZ has a custom body in color snow white pearl mica color. Only 175 units of this limited edition model were sold.

Primary features of Type RZ:

- Red custom carbon/kevlar full-bucket seats manufactured by Recaro

- Custom gun metallic coloured forged aluminum wheels manufactured by BBS

- Custom dampers manufactured by Bilstein

- Custom red stitched steering wheel manufactured by Nardi (different wheel to the other models)

- Custom red stitched leather shift knob, stick shift boot, and parking brake lever boot

- Driver's side kneepads

- Passenger side aluminum footrest board

- Rear storage box

- Custom body color: snow white pearl mica.

yeah mate, I don't muck around! :blink: It's been a bit longer than that though. about 2 weeks on the water, about 3 or 4 days for quarantine and customs clearance.

Straight off the boat into Tassie and met by yet another import.

And then straight down to Symmons Plains.

There in an official capacity so I only managed two laps dropping gear to flaggies etc but still on a race track at full noise on the first day.

    • 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.
    • 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.
