yeh, otherwise we would all change to WA plates and laugh at the traffic cops as we drive past, screamer with external wastegate fully open running 25psi through our highmount turbo!

i got defected 4 tyres

yay

thougth id come 'let it out' on here haha

'random' breath test on a side street at camden park, while on way home from gf's

can drive it for 72 hrs, after that i cant drive unless im going to tyre place or 2 cop station to get it cleared

and they even charge u $24.50 to get it cleared!!!!

Dude thats nothing compared to going to regency mate

and why do people always whimp out on getting the most important thing for their pride and joy.

drive with bald tires....you deserve to get defected

Afraid I must agree there.

Must have good grip for all occasions!

I wouldn't be complaining about a $24.50 charge either. Thats minor ... not even half a tank of fuel.

lol, dude, cop shop defects are piss easy, wouldnt even stress. just make sure u dont get double defected when u get there.

they wernt that bald where it would b dangerous, its only the inside 2-3 cm where its like almost no tread.

and i aint complaining about the money, just bitching cos i was in a shit mood.

I know you were not complaining mate

just trying to make my point on people with bald tires

the inside 2-3 cm is where it matters lol

Stupidest thing I ever did ... went to Phillip Island for the MotoGP, and did a nice burnout with the bike for the crowd ... a few times over a few nights actually.

Silly me didn't think about being able to ride it back home ... and couldn't get another fitted by any shop around that time of year.

Rode bike back home and got as far as 30km outside Bordertown before the tyre blew. :) It made for an exciting moment having a blow out at over 110kph. :)

    • ..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.
