The headlights are fine but they have to be fitted with Halogen globes, HIDs are only legal if the car is fitted with auto leveling headlights. BMW = Auto leveling, Skyline = no auto leveling.

I wish that shit was written in a place where it was easily accessible

The difference between makes is pretty stupid - one rule should apply for all cars - and the govt should be erring on the side of leniency...

not because i think it'd be easier, but our car manufacturers spend a load of money doing R&D, and that excuse is used on a contrary point of view for minor mods (like air intake, exhausts, tunes etc) - so why cant that same standardisation rule be applied for aftermarket addons that actually help? (legal and professionally installed of course)

Seems our govt thinks that the car manufacturers know it all, and ergo all aftermarket mods are done by 'hoons' even if its something as innocuous as a pair of spotlights...

this is the shit that pisses me off.... nanny state, hand holding, ignorant politician preaching crap, designed to either a) harvest more taxes or b) crack down upon personal freedoms to make the politicians job that much easier - its easier to answer the crowd when half of the crowd are muted...

*yawn*

as if politicians have a hard job... they dont even appear at parliament regularly

REPORT HIM!! I got let off before for a $580 fine because he abused me and smoked in my face, it works!! do it and don't be hesitant.. I just came out of regency too, so long as ur exhaust is lower than 90dB at 3,300 rpm then you're fine, and it depends on who you get in regency :D

goodluck!!

Yes provided the entire stock crank case ventilation system is in place and you have simply placed the catch can inline with this system. I went through regency recently with this and had no issues.

I live near the Ottoway police station. My Stagea has a bodykit, mags etc ... so its not subtle. I see cops all the time and they leave me alone. :thumbsup:

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.

      ..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.
