Just wondering how offten you guys get pulled over.

I've had my 32 4 door for 6 week's now and have yet to have a cop follow me or pull me over. btw ive relised i got a head light out.

e.g such as

driving down road cop is on side road turning to same flow as trafic as me. would clearly see i have head light out but pulls out in front of me.

they see me turn on to same road as them dont bother slowing down, or if they have come up from behind they dont pull in behind me.

i thought i would have being pulled over or followed at least once so far.

I used to get pulled over and drugs tested without fail every time I drove my car at night, but that's largely stopped now.

Had a friend who lasted 8 hours after buying his dead stock 33 before he got the disco lights treatment.

Often Dean, with my hypnotherapy clients, I offer them the chance to record the session and use it as an affirmation at bedtime.

Mostly these days, the clients bring an iPhone, or some phone with at least 20mins recording time.

One guy recently brought in a cassette (since I have a recorder in each clinic - from way back when...)

When he brought it home, he said to his wife, "I don't know why I even bothered taping this. We don't have a tape player any more!"

Wife: "Yes we do. Would you like to know where it is?"

Husband: "Are you sure? We sold off all our junk at the last garage sale!"

Wife: "I know exactly where it is. Would you like me to tell you?" (goading him)

Husband: "No, no, I'll find it - I'll find it." (rummaging through 2x rooms upstairs)

Husband: (after coming back down) "I told you: it's gone out with the rubbish!!!"

Wife: "Uh, Uh... can I tell you now?" (needling him)

Husband: (rummages through 1 more room - then comes back down) "OK where the farkin' hell is it?" (yelling)

Wife: "Why not check your old BMW that you're restoring?"

Husband: thinks "Duh"

:P

your not giving your car enough gas around town and keeping under the speed limit too often.

my theory is either people call in with your plates or off duty police see the way some of these people drive then get them at a later date.

unless it's suspected of being far from standard or a defective vehicle whats the point.

It's not what you drive it's how you drive it.

I have owned a clearly modified black R32 and have been pulled into RBTs, pulled over 2 or 3 times and have never in my life recieved a defect. I got a ticket for a red light that I failed to beat once, but he was more than courteous and I definitely deserved the ticket. Don't be a dick and for the most part you will be fine. Remember that giving you hell is just making more work for the police officer.

    • 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.
