He was pulled over by the Police in Marion St Leichhardt.

He's been pulled over before in his highly modified donk Alfa 33 and got pinged.

Plan B:-

He keeps both of his 'Remotes #1 & #2' on him at all times when in this car.

He keeps them separated from his keys.

When he's been pulled over this time, he got out of his car and locked it with #1.

The officer asked him to pop his bonnet, he said, "Sure Officer" and pulled out #2.

But #2 didn't work. Then he presses it again in front of the officer and nothing happens. He said, "I'll have to go back home and get the other one then."

He got let off.

There was one flaw that the officer didn't pick up on, but that didn't matter.

This is the most laughable strategy I've heard for a while, even more so that a 'lawyer' came up with it.

Will not work:

* I'm pretty sure its defectable to not have proper 'control' of your vehicle, much like the 'broken bonnet latch' trick

* By going home you will need to leave the car where you stopped it, hope its not on a highway / no-parking / no-stopping zone

* Chances are the cop will call in a tow-truck to move it if point 2 is true, chances are it'll be moved to an impound yard.

Yeah some lawyer this guy is...

Very good, but obviously the officer didn't twig that he still must have the keys to drive the car and the same keys will also open the doors.

Would be noisy but meh.

Am I correct, do I win with my simple non random non rant (answer)?

not a bad ploy me thinks. alarm would go off but depending on the alarm it would turn itself off after a while. door would still open and you would still be made to open the bonet. maybe say your alarms playing up and whenever the coppa puts his head under the bonet turn your alarm siren on to make it uncomfortable on his ears and hope he doesnt take to it with his gun.

Cops don't use their guns in australia, what are you on about......It's not like the car is holding two knives or something ;)

Two points to make.

If you think it will stop the defect, it wont. You will merely be directed to an inspection station.

You commit an offence by obstructing the officer. The lawyer risks being removed from practice if it became common knowledge that he knowingly assisted in the commission of an offence.

Not a real smart lawyer.

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
