i have a pod as well but its covered. but even if i didnt have a pod my return pips is running under the battery tray which makes it illegal. cops knows these and thats the first thing they look for with our cars as 90% of the skylines have this setups.

everytime iv been pulled over first hting they look for is the cooler.

Have a look in the vic section, there was a guy who got his hole in the inner gaurd engineered easily.

i reckon they are getting lazy...other day i saw a car try to make the yellow light(turned rd just as he approched the turn) and he went through...what was funny was that there was a undercover cop right behind him trying to quickly make the turn aswel....the cop didnt even pull him over or anything...but if it was a skyline or p-plater...then guranteed to get pulled up

Poor form on their part with a flash light. A quick blip of the red and blues to pull you over and give the car the once over would have sufficed. To shine a spotlight at different parts of the car and make a smart ass comment with the window down doesnt portray them in a good light at all.

tonight at around 8 was at the airstream in glenny and i saw the same unmarked cop car on springvale road going up and down for the 2 hours we were there pulled over nothing but imports. he literally pulled over a black R33 was there for 20 min, went back on road and pulled over an s14 up ahead. i dont think cops are getting lazy just some arent assigned to pull over every single car that has exhaust or rims or whatever

+1, exactly my thoughts.

Im avoiding driving at night and to popular areas thus saving me from getting pulled over.....Im on my P's

I only drive to work and when i really need to.

I do that and I'm 30, obviously with no P's.

I see it from the inside and I can tell you 90% of members do as little as possible and everything to avoid work. I am personally getting very frustrated with it at present. Things so bad that you even struggle to get back up unit when your at say big brawl or man armed with knife and call out for help and nobody even wants to come and help you.

I have been that busy that I have probably only pulled over 10 cars in last 10 shifts on road. I have become a magnet and catch crooks at almost everyjob I go to. Probably because I actually go to the jobs and get there as fast as I can so try to catch them. Most of these jobs too have been out of my area and other's units have been given the job become magically tied up or get there as slow as possible so we end up doing all the work.

It's also been hard with the fires because most people instead of geting their days off have been made to do 12 hr shifts up at fires and then work the normal shifts on top of that.

I ended up working 70 hrs O/T in one fornnight ontop of my normal shifts with overtime processing crooks and overtime at fires and only had 2 days off in 25 days at one stage. I've had days when I have worked 20 hrs straight becasue I caught 5 offenders at end of shift then had to be back in 5 hours ended up working 13 hours after that because of more crooks and my next shift which was rostered day off was another 8 hrs turn around to work 13 hrs at fires.

I just wanted to give you little insite to how things are at present. Morale and work ethic worst it's been by a mile since I have been in the job.

Graeme, atleast there is you out there :D

Keep it up and hopefully your dedication rubs off on your colleagues.

Mate, I wouldn't say it's illegal to do what they did. Lazy and stupid yes but not illegal. As stated before if it had caused collision wouldn't have been good but I'm sure they would have just denied it. It's probably good more lazy members like this if you have modified cars. Not going to get NOU, EPA or fined if they are too lazy to do it.

Nice to see cops actually working their butts off doing something useful for the community rather than the few who's life mission is to defect as many imports on small technicalities (which have no effect on driver or pedestrian safety) as possible.

Good work Graeme, keep it up

    • 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.
