i agree, move the car in a clearly visible location but i disagree with the slash tires comment as the ass that did this to your car may be away and someone else uses the spot, you would make things worse with the locals or worse get caught, try talk to the tenants there, see if they had similar issues and see if anyone suspects someone, most times u will find an old lady that has nothing better to do than spy on her neighbor, with a bit of luck you might be able to park near her view so you can get free surveillance ..lol

+1, making friends with nosy old ladies is always the way to go...

And yeah, while revenge might feel sweet, if it's not their car, mistaken identity etc... Would suck :)

A few years ago my old car got completely done over by some teens at a local shopping centre, there was a witness but he was to afraid to do anything, they smashed a window trying to steal it and got no where thanks to the imobiliser, they keyed each and every damn panel, the car was in the shop for over a month going back to bare metal and getting fully resprayed, and it happaned again about a year after down one side of the car while it was parked in my driveway but i know who did that so im sitting on still untill this day......for now, i ended up selling the car not long after that.

i feel your pain champ, it broke my heart when i sore mine the first time.

Thanks for the light hearted suggestions, don't worry I'm not going to do anything because its not something I would do to anyone's car anyway. If I have a problem with someone else's car I would let it go or leave a note and leave it on the wipers.

But for those who are interested in this possible suspect (parked in the same spot for the past few days already), its a P plater.

unfortunately there's not much you can do other than make friends with all your neighbours and they will end up looking out for you....

Im not into damaging their car, Id be tempted to wreck them though, it wont get you anywhere, it'll just cause more retaliation...

video surveillance catching them in the act would be priceless...

i agree park it one day in the same spot and place a camcorder hidden inside pointing at the front and a little to the side and hope he will do it again this way you get Ur whole car resprayed on his sorry ass!

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
