Ferrari F430 stolen from Crown valet parking

There are so many f'd up things about this.

If I had a Ferrari, I know where I will NOT be parking it. What a joke.

And what the hell was the thief thinking? That cops would somehow overlook the real name and address he provided?

Hey gimme a break I had a bit of a bender that night had way to many drinks and i think some bad acid , just finished watching 'Risky Business' and it seemed like a good idea at the time...

I gave it back ...albeit a little dusty ...but no harm done...... ;)

"It has happened in the past from time to time that people lose their tickets, and in these circumstances we ask for proof of identification and a valid driver’s licence. Those procedures were followed on this occasion," he said.

Thing is with that there is no way of linking the car to the owner..."yes that's my Ferrari here's my license"..Doesn't prove its mine :S

Meh Can't say I blame him. Courts the way they are at the moment. He will get a slap on the wrist and for the rest of his life can say. "I drove a Ferrari"

Jokes on Crown really. What were they thinking????

TRUE STORY

kinda on topic here, about 10 years ago me and a group of boys went to crown for an outing,we park on the street across from the main entrance (think it was corner of clarendon st) ..Anyway as we park we notice a couple of guys going along trying all the door handles on cars parked there...So we go into crown and tell security at the door about them (mate wasnt to worried about his old corolla getting flogged)

Security look over and see the guys we're talking about and stand there looking dumbfounded, in the meantime 2 police cars drive past, Security guard finally makes a call on Walkie Talkie to someone else who obviously doesnt care.

And these guy sure enough get into a car and drive off..

      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.
