Boxcar... thats easily fixed....

One morning i came out to my 200 in the garage to find that after i got home the previous night a cat found my bonnet so warm and cosy that it try to tear it up like carpet.... HUGE scratches all over it..

solution: a good power drill (you or a mate will have one) and a meguiars buffing pad ($20 or so from auto barn)

apply polish to the area and use the buffing attachment.

should remove it no problems. I used this on my bonnet and you couldnt see ONE scratch.....

Indeed the power buff does wonders if used properly, but do yourself a favour and be REALLY carefull. I don't know if buffing pads have had a big improvement recently but i recall a nasty incident involving myself, and a proper buff borrowed from a panelbeater mate and some god awful burn marks on my bonnet that required professional repair.

    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
    • 10 minutes on a lathe would be one way to achieve literally anything you want, too. (except for AN type stuff - just talking about M-F with BSP and NPT in any mix/combo).
    • yeah, so "something" should be -4 AN....to a hose....to a -4AN to NPT fitting *edit* sorry, I surely have that backwards. The LS is from land of the free so it must be NPT at the block, and the Nissan sender is BSPT. But still, conceptually the same
    • Yea I mean I know it exists, but finding (specifically) female BSPT to male NPT (i.e, to plug a Nissan OEM sensor into a 'standard' NPT port) was truly difficult. I don't think I'll recreate the setup I had in the past unless it's (possibly?) advisable with a stronger T piece made of steel, but who knows if the aluminium threads in the block become the next weak point etc. Given it may need to be redrilled out and something tapped into it, it'll need to be Female BSPT to the something that ends uo coming out of the side of the block.
    • Sounds like a perfect time to harness up a couple of the dogs, show the horses what real power is about!
