Reminds me of the new outdoor drinking laws where a guy was drinking outside a licenced premises in Rundle Street.

He was sitting down and drinking a beer but when he stood up, a cop passing by booked him because he was still holding the glass.

Cop told him the glass must remain on the table when you're not seated...........well how do you get the glass of beer out there in the first place then???? :(

hahahahaha thats a good one lol ;)

haha love the pub story SLED.. couldnt keep the laughs in

You'll like this one then ...

Couple of years ago, I was riding my bike heading south down South Road at O'Halloran Hill. It was a stinking hot day, but I was wearing full gear except for gloves, to get air flow into my jacket (At near 40 degrees, I'd have a higher risk of dehydrating than crashing). Approaching the lights at the Blacks Road intersection I was slowing down for the lights and took my hands off the handle bars to wipe the sweat off my hands and onto my jeans. Stopped at the lights and noticed a marked cop car behind me. Lights go green and as soon as I've taken off and clutch is completley out I get lit up and asked to pull over.

Cop wanted to book me for "stunting" on a motorbike. I was like "what?" with gobsmacked disbelief. He informed me I was stunt riding and had no control over the bike in an emergency. I pointed out to him:

a. That certainly wasn't stunt riding.

b. There were no cars within 50m of me.

c. I was decelerating, not accelerating, to a red light.

d. The throttle was not required.

e. My right foot was doing the braking for me, plus I had geared down to slow down.

f. I can easily manoeuvre the bike without the use of the handle bars, especially for a relatively straight section of road.

g. If a driver has his hands off the wheel, is that stunt driving?

I requested his Senior Sargeant be called in, as at that point the guy was being difficult and I refused to speak with him further. SS came over and after speaking with me briefly and checking my licence, asked the uniform cop "Did he wheelie?", "No". "Did he do a burnout?", "No". "Was he speeding?", "No". "Was he weaving from lane to lane?", "No". "Was he sitting anywhere on the bike other than the riders seat?", "No". "Is he under the influence?", "No". Turns to me and says I can go. :P

Who says, "a few pairs of people coming out of a church or park > having photographs taken with geriatrics > throwing confetti or rice > jumping into 3-4 cars with white ribbons are actually part of a wedding?"

Where's the proof?

The only type of wedding car that is actually labelled as such, is this...

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      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.
