cops wont do shit[/quote

Im sure that the cops wont turn to cops, as its an organized event for car enthusiasts of japanese cars, to meet, cruise & socialize. If ppl attending behave themselves and not pull any stunts, then the cops shouldnt have any reason to defect/give a hard time to anyone. Lets just say that this event disaprooves of any illegal activities eg. drags, burnouts on public roads. To the local police surrounding the meet point- you are more than welcome to monitor the cruise.. as you certainly will be doing anyway.

I think you're being a little naive if you think all drivers who attend a large cruise event such as this will be well behaved. It WILL attract a certain number of dipshits who turn up and rip burnouts, etc. You may not condone the behaviour but it doesn't stop it from happening.

Having said that, good on ya for putting the effort into trying to organise cruises for Melbourne car enthusiasts! Hope the night runs smoothly for you.

The cruise was ok... a bit dissapointing with the turnout though since the fkn cops did the blitz last weekend.. 2 many peepz that were defected during that blitz didnt want to attend.. a few guys lost track n past mordialloc, but most turned up at frankston. It was pretty fkn cold.. cops everywhere n a few got pulled over on the road. Overall it was o-k, next cruise will prob be later on this year.. not in this weather though. Im looking for more peepz to help out and organize future cruises and events with me, so if anyone has a plan or an idea, just msg me.

Club stickers will be ready in a couple of weeks time, as well as the official website of teamyakuza.

Thanks to all the guys who attended that made it worthwhile, espcially those who came all the way from altona!, which just shows

yeah i came along on the cruise - i was in the blue 32. It was ok, there weren't that many people there. Well organized though, and just for the record there was no display of any illegal activities at all.

Good job Springvale-boy. Looking forward to the next one.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
