Happy Birthday to you,

Happy Birthday dear Nexus9,

Happy Birthday to you,

Hip Hip!

That pic arrived yet or what?

:Oops:

Thanks for the Birthday wishes Strutto :)

Got a little blue card in the mail to pick up some registered post, so I assume that it is the photo :) Can't wait to see it.

Will be posted after I get over my B'day celebrations, so expect it in about two-three weeks :)

hahaha funny shit!!

the speed camera are all privately owned and not run by cops so even if the photo shows u sticking your finger up at the camera they cant do shit about it.

the camera operators can manually take a pic also, i heard of a guy not wearing a seat belt getting his photo taken my a mobile speed camera which he got the fine for.

Yeah I can confirm that cops do run man the speed cameras. My last speeding ticket was given to me by a 'mobile' speed camera van. He took offence to me overtaking him on the Centenary Hwy, pulled me over, and proceeded to manually write out a speeding ticket. Very uncool. It not everyday you get pulled over by a Mitsubishi Express Van!

[i would question their authority to photograph you with a speed camera when you weren't speeding]

the cameras can take a photo of whatever they like, it is often used when gathering intelligence on people who use the highway, or if there is a bikie group in town, they can get a photo of them all to check for warrants and stuff. they are only used in court if you are speeding. otherwise, damn fine effort and wish i had thought of it, really want to see the photo when it is up too. hahahahaha :headspin:

if i were at the pub i would buy you a beer :)

I once was pulled over by a van transporting a prisoner, it was a three lane set of lights and it merged into two, I was in the left, and took off from the lights to get in front of them, however, they sped up and beside me and signalled to pull over, and asked why i was in a hurry. I was surposed to be at my friends house 1 hour earlier, but my ex-gf kept me busy and I was late.

they checked my rego and let me drive off. Very weird for an unmarked van with a prisoner in it.

I'd say you've been had.....by a friendly set-up. Don't believe the revenue raiser (Police Imposter) would have a second hand-held camera or have the time to react, after their jaw just dropped.

Keep up the good work....there are too many revenue raisers in the Traffic branch and the "Betty" Government and I'm sure the Premier's name is Betty.

Had a (Police Imposter) edge me on to hit the speed limiter once.

He was in an unmarked car, Tail-gating and driving eradically beside, then behind and then way behind. I waited for him to catch up, when he put the light on the roof. I pulled over and when he got to my door, I abused the crap out of him.....never got booked....he just wanted to see how quick the REX was.

Just because they wear a uniform, doesn't mean they have gained any purity, wisdom and above all commonsense. Talk to anyone in the traffic branch and it will only turn into a heated disscussion and or arguement.

Have fun safely, theres a time and place for everything. Including exceeding the speed limit.

Its more like when they put their uniform on they think their shit dont stink and they turn into arrogant assholes. Even tho someone with just a high school education can become a cop! pfft

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
