just back from the city coppers everywhere in city and on freeway

was at the lights next to a copper on his way home (personal car) so i thought best to drive sensibly along the riverside expressway with the copper just a little ahead (I had 4 drunks in the car)

I had this black 33 with lightning airbrushed all over it come up beside me, gating me trying to get me to race... he eventually took off like a shower of shit passed the copper blowing a flame prolly into 4th, cop sped up to get his plate i guess wonder if he gets a visit tomorrow

soon after i had a D car sit on my rear quarter for about 15 min doing bang on 100 they eventually got over it an sped past to annoy someone else

ill say they wer out.

i got done. $150 defect. no points

un shielded pod, bov, 4 tyres (my bad from dori dori weeks back), wheel, a pillar gauges.. despite all of that the cops wer nice bunch of blokes. at the end we even had a long chat about the force. looks to be a promising career.

PS they didnt get me for too low leakin coilover 2way diff cooler no reo no spare wheel and jack and tools.. and the 2 cops wer smart blokes.

so im gnna buy new tyres like i needed to weeks back. put the R34 GTT wheel on rewire gauges. block off bov. and make heat shield. that ontop of exams yeah easy done.

2 a pillar gauges apparently are safety issues. steering wheel is a chrome face nardi which has no padding. again an apparent safety issue. and the pod filter "has to be shileded 80%" so he said. i did argue to the point. but they wer being nice and didnt wanna make em mad. and my tyres wer bald all round sooo u couldnt see the wear indicators.. :(

meh

oh and this was at 11pm on the way home from a charity staff party. lol bad things always happens to me.

but was lucky he didnt see my rear end clunking and locking away with the 2way.

pillar guages are only a safety issue if they impair your vision. normal sized ones (boost guages, etc.) are fine. steering wheel.. bleh fair enough. Pod filter, hes full of shit. i understand why you didnt want to argue too much if you had the other parts of the car that were defectable, but i get pissed off at dumb shit cops handing out incorrect defects.

the pillar mounted pods are in the head impact area, hence a no go

fark it. as much as i love driving my 180. ive only had issues on saturday nights and this only in the last few months.

and every time it was me doing nothing wrong. i do my crap at the track i drift ther not on the street. ...its quite shit.

issue #1 cop staring me down at the lights at 1am coming home from party he said "im coming for u tomorrow morning"

#2 coming home from friends place. pulled over questioned bout some skids done up the road by some commo.

#3 went to park and got hassled by police.

#4 coming home from charity staff event. 11pm defects and they pulled me over for no reason. they RBTd me went over my car and canary'd me..

lesson is dickheads making the scene shit for us proper drivers and we recieving the wrong end of the stick.

so weekends will see me bring the liberty or the other 180sx out.

Striker: Pods were an unsafe issue for me cause they were not safety glass....

and my pod was not secure didnt say anything about being unsafe.

and as for the wheel i dont have padding on mine, but then again the stock steering wheel didnt either.

if a pillar gauges are defectable then what about all the people who mount their gps units at the same place?

and the JDM S15 has a single 3inch boost gauge on the A pillar

i dnt like pods to be honest. i find the airbox is efficent enough. on GTRs it is. but my 180sx didnt come with it..

a box will be nice but.. wher do i buy thin sheets of aluminum..? bunnings..?

    • ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
    • And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.
    • No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • 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.
