thanks for all the comments :D

not that many r32 gts-t here in sweden....

the bodykit takes some time to get used to, but hence i'm not a good photograf the pictures doesn't give a true picture of the car, looks MUCH better in reality :(

the next thing that i will buy for the car (exept getting the tires on the rear wheels so the car will have the same wheels as it is in the front) is a LED lightbar, much be able to look more like a policecar and if someone hade missed it at the shows (if possible) they won't after that :)

the night streetraces will be fun when i arrive..... "the police is comming, lets get out of here" MOHAHAHA

Looks fantastic mate, good work! I'm a bit iffy about the rear bar, but hey, if your happy with it thats all that matters. the whole Jap Cop theme is sooo good! Are you doing anything else to the engine, suspension, and brakes?

akeenan the "japanese text" will be replaced with the real japanese text for Tokyo Police, the grapics guy couldn't open the data file i gave him, and as usual was there "plenty" of time before i needed the car :D

the text on the doors will be 東京 (Tokyo) 警察(Police) but with a more bold text that is on the doors right now....

NA_Goodness the suspension is HKS coilovers, and a front strutbar will be there aswell.

the brakes will remain standard to start with, perhaps groove them and put on better callipers (think that is the right word)

the engine will get a light tune.

r33 turbo (with steel impellers not ceramic)

444 gtr injector

wallbro fuelpump

perhaps a remap or another box

aldready have:

FMIC

3" exhaustsystem

3" downpipe

Oilcooler

think that will do something to the performance...

when i get back from work (work in a different town from where i live at the moment) on wensday will the trunk get some attention.

the sound installation will start with sound deathning the entire boot incl. the trunklid.

the installation will be clean with the amps visable and the fuses seen behind some glass (that easily can be removed to be able to change them)

the trunk will either be covered with black vinyl or grey carpet that looks like the standard covers in the trunk.

Very good theme and the headlights turned out mad. I thought the wider guards are supposed to be vented near the doors though? You should have cut the holes for them. I hate when body parts are made to look vented but arent. Bonnets are big offenders of this.

the next thing that will be done on the car is that i tomorrow will start building the audio installation in the trunk, will keep it simple.

and also sound deathen the trunk.

have finally found the LED lightbar that i have been looking for :)

a proper police car must have a lightbar :D

The clear headlights covers can be bought from ebay.

Also with the LED tail lights, he is going with LED lights on the roof so the tail lights will suit the theme.

how hard are they to chuck on(what's involved)? ive never really tried to take the lenses off my headlights so not too sure how hard it is.

It's not too difficult.

Smash your glass lense, use a heat gun to heat the silicone one area at a time and then pull the glass out.

DO NOT heat the whole unit (or attempt to) and take the glass out in one piece. You'll melt the housing.

    • 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.
