i spoke to bret over a year ago,he left the workshop of subzero a couple of years back and moved to gilmour developments in qld,turns out he was a bit shonky and brett was having dramas with the set up,the car itself went to the fabricators and got a chop up(3/4 chassis)nice big tyre was fitted and a bright yellow paint job,this car became a dedicated race car,he was so pissed off by the wait and trouble he was going to on sell the car to me once finished but havent heard from him in a year.

as for mick stanic he left his familys sub zero business and moved to adelaide to tillbrook performance shop as the head mechanic,though i have heard many stories about mick over the years which would steer me clear from him,but each to there own i guess.

i did have pics of the car which ill try to find and might i add its was looking hot,i ended up buying parts of try-09s of brett and its a shame why he got treated the way he does,he is very busy travelling up and down the cost working with his father in some type of earth drilling business.

theres a website he gave me which i will try to dig up,stay tuned.

so its yellow now aye?

:confused:

omy08s u gotta vl drag car dont ya??? hows that goin?

car is almost ready just the little things you dont think about which im sure everyone misses out,like wiring,braided lines etc....im positive itll hit the dyno in about 4-6 weks then to the track it goes,if it runs into the 8s on its first meet ill be more than happy then we take it from there.....

as for try7s it is now bright bright yellow and looks great and is for sale if anyone is keen on a 7 second package in a 3/4 chassis skyline with an rb26 combo,all you have to do is find out where the hell brett is these days,until then good day.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
