I see now,

thanks Dezz.

steady on boys...im not saying i know which 1 of the 2 it is...im just saying whoever told whoever could've easily made a mistake with the numbers

so we can assume its either 8 evo 9's or 9 evo 8's :O

i know SFA about evos...so dont look at me :P

Dezz,

It was a genuine thank-you for drawing my attention to the fact that my post seemed to be aimed at Ruffels, when that was never my intention.

It was a sarcasm-free thanks.

Phew! these forums can be a real minefield!

I gotta learn how to get what I meant in to print!

Peace

lol, relax mate...i wasnt even havin a go at ya :O

just sounded like saff thought i had the facts on this stuff....i was just pointing out to everyone that 8 evo 9's and 9 evo 8's is a very easy mistake to make :D

Don't the cops call off pursuits after 150km anyway? Then call in the air wing.

Don't have a problem with them driving fast cars. Would expect them to be supporting the local car industry tho. Parts ought to be cheaper too.

And whats with the low profile lights they are using now? Just to make them harder to spot? Or do they have 'clearance issues' =p

the point of my post was to point out that rather then doubting his information based on something youve seen doesnt mean what Ruffles posted was wrong. He was told they were EVO9s by someone reputible in the industry that would more then likely know the difference between an EVO9 and an EVO8.

Assuming that just because the car has the EVO8 wheels which i already took into account it doesnt mean it is one. Lots of people put different wheels on cars for whatever reason. GC8 STis often put bugeye rims on them and some leftover bug eyes (yeah wonder why they were left over... theyre almost as ugly as the new shape) even got sold with the 04 titanium coloured rims but that doesnt make them a the sexier 04-05 model (which if u took a similar side on shot not showing any real distinguishing marks other then the rims is hard to tell them apart).

My point being that you shouldnt have a go and be a know it all without seeing the whole picture rather then trying to be a know it all i take it on face value.

As you've found things can be easily misinterpreted on the internet... yay for non expression text.

..you shouldnt have a go and be a know it all...

My my.

Them's Fightin' words!

Maybe a bit of past injustice and self-doubt in there eh?

Henceforth, you may be known as, "Righteous Defender of the Terribly Misunderstood".

Well, now we know where we stand, we can all have a good lie down.

This should make your VIC guys cruises into exciting high speed chases as they will now stand a chance of keeping up!!!!!!

Unless you have a GTR, you wont stand a chance of getting away.

Nah not all the facts dude but just a thanks for the most logical explanation of the thread so far.

honestly get over the disagreement, who cares and lets start bitching over cops getting evos...

sif... all their cars should be evos and GTRs.

unless i fail making it in... then they should all have to drive daewoos and hyundais

do you guys drive around with no license plates?

you do realise they dont need to catch you, just get your plate and they have more than enough info to catch you ....thats if you dont wrap urself around a pole before they get to you...

    • 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.
    • 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.
