i happily pay $11 a day for parking for the convenience and to avoid public transport! only time i catch public transport is a cab, and work pays for it!

$11 is cheap for the city!

But you also have to realise I don't have a nice salary like yours.

Haha its pretty bad.. but least I don't have to pay $8 a day for parking..

$8 a day? I can only dream of that. parking in my building is $38 a day (early bird) and $56 if I don't meet the early bird requirement. that got old pretty quick...

yeah, a couple of hundred a week just for parking could be money better spent somewhere else I reckoned so now I catch the train. harbour bridge traffic in the mornings was driving me nuts too. now I just sit on the slow, stinky train and read or listen to my walkman. :) or sleep.

well laaa deee daaaahhhh!!!

lol!!! i just prefer driving!

rigghhhttt! what does that have to do with this convo? i don't spend elsewhere so i can pay for parking.. you could too i'm sure! for me a weekly ticket is $35, plus light rail $20-40, so screw that! And carrying 3 bags around.. once again, screw that! so your salary comment is totally irrelevant.. its a lifestyle choice and my lifestyle states not to park at a station, not to get up at 6:30am, not to be burdened with a zillion bags on a packed train and not to use public transport.. easy!

i used to play $25 early bird at the old building.. but that was aout 3 times a week.. i couldn't really justify it! but i was able to happily park my car at a station, and walk away.. not so easy to do now!

yikes.

at townhall it's $16 a day for early bird at st andrews car park. here at wynyard it's around the $20-26 mark for early bird. I usually drive around and have a look at the prices of different parking areas near my work. But i hardly drive to the city now so it's all good.

lol walkman

that's soooooooo 1995

LOL! a guy on the bus sitting next to me the other day had a cassette walkman. i giggled quietly.

yeah if u got heaps of shit to carry then fair enough. i couldn't really justify spending my return bus fare ($11 - or twice that amount at wynyard) + fuel cost + wearing out a car everyday to get to work. if it was free parking? hell yes i'd drive!

bus actually isn't too bad if u get used to it. there's heaps more buses and it only takes 45mins each way now thanks to the lane cove tunnel. the day i drove thru vic rd = over 1hr. screw that (even tho i MUCH prefer driving).

get a motorbike. parking is free in the city.

or is that scooters?

motorbikes are free as well i think. i've been considering this option for ages but im afraid of other cars on the road. even whilst driving a car i drive assuming every car around me will hit me.

I hate it when, you drive past a group of ppl and they go "RIP IT RIP IT.. DO A BURN OUT!! "

f**kin go get a life.. go rip yourself..

N i also hate it, when you are a set of lights, and a car full of ppl yell shit out to you..

This one time, at a set of lights(night time), with my windows up (very dark tints), i had some dickhead in the car next to me yellin race me idiot.. race me.. Even call me an idiot..

Some ppl are just asking to get hit..

I know there are heaps off cops with imports.. Im waitin for that day when they do something to them, and the guy who comes out of the import is a cop!! ohh would have loved to see that..

hhaha i get this all the time .. so the the door opens up and i get the extendable batten out..hahah should see the look on there face then and they take off...hahaha

wankers !

now ive got a new toy ... i wanna try it out and watch them curl up into a little ball when it hits them...

    • Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!
    • 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.
