C.O.D is a stuff around and it can be very expensive. Obviously it is a safer way but you still dont know what is in the box until you pay to take it. Best to buy from members with more than 100 posts and check their history.

Anyone guy to watch out for from here is Melv.

Sold my mate a pair of tyre saying they were near new when in fact they were 5/6 yr old.. Two tyre places told us that the rubber had hardened and can not be fitted. He refuses to pay back any money.

Also he ripped off another person from here called Mines. Apparently he bought his GTR through Mines, to this day he still hasnt paid the full amount.

So yes.. watch out for Melv

If it's the melv i think he didn't buy his GTR locally... it was imported... He never seemed like the sort of guy to stuff people round...

Yes, mines helped him import the car into australia.

I sold him some headlights. He asked me about melv and if i knew him. I told him how melv ripped off my mate and he told me how melv still owes him money for the car he imported into aust for him.

If anyone would like proof im sure if you pm mines, im sure he is more then happy to tell you. Also im more then happy to forward the messages replies from then PMs i sent him.

hahaha classic

likley story buddy, the wheels were practily brand new. and before your friend took them he looked over both wheels for 15min with a spot light !!!!!!!!!!

if u speek to mines ask him where my r34 n1 engine is also ask him where my cusco front diff is oh yeh and why not ask him where are my racing front pipes mmmm all of the above was promised when i took delivery of my car.

i wanted my money back but he wouldnt reply to any of those questions.

u want more info ? mines was using over 5 user names on here running a busness, dont u have to apply to sell stuff as a company on these forms ?

i try my best to be helpful and there is always someone trying to bring you down.

i personly changed and made over 40 SAU stickers for us qld'ers free to help the club out.

i won a fuel pump at the dyno comp hosted by mase and gave it back to help found this forums there.

i get f**ked around from the guy who sold me my car but i never mentioned a bad thing about him till just then ^^^^^ i still consider him a friend as he is in the group of ppl i hang out with now and then from another local trader.

o well i can only try ay.

PEACE

near new? PFFT..

2 tyre shops told us that the model of tyre is about 5/6yrs old. Both tried to fit the tyre and both couldn’t get the pressure to hold. My friend is not a tyre specialist. Looking at the tyre with a spotlight doesn’t exactly reveal small cracks that form after the rubber hardens.

For you to turn around and tell us to contact the guy who sold you the tyres, is a load of sh*t. So what you are telling me is, if I buy a second-hand car and something goes wrong at the start, then I should go to the person who originally owned the car and not the guy who sold me the car?

For mines, I have only heard what he told me n now from what u told me. But u can’t tell me, from what I have experienced from you is exactly good. Sorry, but I would take mines words over yours.

I had asked a few ppl about u before I told my friend to buy the tyres. Word of mouth about you had been good until you screwed my friend.

      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.
