Im guessing if you had an empty bottle in your boot not connected to anything that would be fine. The second you have NOS in the bottle or any buttons/switches fake or not, youre most likely going to be in trouble.

I doubt they could even do you if the bottle was full as long as there is no system in place for the car to use it. Otherwise you would need a permit to transport it?

I remember reading something about this in AutoSalon or Street Machine...

It was something along the lines of it is fine to have it installed... ...and a full bottle in the car... ...As long as it takes a good bit of work to get the bottle hooked up... ...and just as long as you're not driving on the road with it hooked up you'll be fine...

I also asked my local police contact and he said you'd be, and I quote, "A f$%&ing try hard wanna be that would get a defect from the first rookie ass kisser trying to get in with their SS(Senior Sergeant)"...

I'd say put it in a trailer queen or a track car... ...and just keep it off the street...

Any of you two got proof for what you typed there? Last official documentation I read agrees with Al in that you cannot have ANY part of a NOS system connected to a road rego'd car.

I do not have documented proof, but asking for curiosity sake a TMU police officer and a NOS supplier in victoria and them both saying the same thing is enough for me.

I would definitely get a second-opinion from the police officer, it sounds incorrect.

And if I were a NOS supplier, of course I'd tell you it was legal, I'd want to sell NOS :)

when the police impounded my car they had a look over my car. he said he was just having a look and isnt doing a roadworthy inspection, when he was doing so he said if he seen any part of a nos setup my car, he would put it off the road.

      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.

      ..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.
