Is there a specific law regarding take off speed? I'm sure a cop could find something to fine you with if you did drive like that and you'd deserve whatever was dished out.

All I said was it might not "technically" be illegal.

2 things... in regards to your other post where you said " Technically what he's doing may not be illegal if its in a 100kmh zone." he admits to doing it in a backstreet so yes its going to be illegal.

secondly, apparently there are laws for acceleration - my mate has an s2000, was pulled over on the freeway of all places, nothing was wrong with the car, so the officer said fine and they both got ready to head of, he took of fast - as the dumbass cop pulled him over at the end of a bend and he couldnt see around it, so to be safe and not slow anyone down he tried to get up to speed...

15 seconds later the cop pulls him over again and fines him for accelerating too fast.....

I know I don't fang out of booze bus's up to 60....

Wow. Didn't know that about the accelaration thing. I always take of fast but don't exceed the speed limit. In future I don't think i'll be doing that. Thanks for the heads up. :)

yeah definately check it out on a dyno

mine was running slow when I got it, I didn't know

about it cause I went straight from an old laser 4cyl to skyline turbo six

without having driven any other higher powered car so I thought it

was fast and only found out when I got it serviced the guys at the shop

said that it was very slow compared to other skylines they'd serviced and

tested , they thought It might have been leaking boost or something, but

once they tuned it up and such I couldn't believe the difference.

So, you let someone else drive like a maniac in your car while you weren't around to stop them?

Regarding the acceleration issue, I don't think accelerating fast is technically illegal if you don't do a burnout. I went to court a couple of years ago and I paid a good lawyer to represent me. He said that taking off fast at a set of traffic lights is not illegal and can easily be beaten if taken to court provided a burnout isn't performed as this would be classed as hooning.

Incidentally, he beat all but one charge (other lawyers have since said that he basically pulled off a miracle and got the best and most unlikely result in the scenario).

EDIT:

To the OP, stop being an idiot and take your car to a track or drag strip. Backstreets are not the place to be doing 100 kph.

      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

      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.
