Just a quicky. I've been having a read of the "how to stop the changes to the 15 yr rule" thread and am considering writing a letter to the relavent ppl etc etc.

Now recently there has been alot protests on the news about all sorts (hecs, pay rates etc etc). Now i know about these issues cos everyone (namely noisy uni students with too much time on their hands) makes a real big public fuss about them. But i only know about the compliance changes because of this forum.

Has anyone thought of actually organising a protest to shed some puplicity on the subject? Or to make it a more general question, has the import scene ever taken a protest further that letters saying "Not happy Jan" over any specific issue? i dont know... maybe a park in or something.

yeah i agree about the uni students... they get on my nerves too... but thats mainly cos they get in EVERYONES way instead of just the people they are protesting against... oh and they have a funny definition of "peaceful protesting" ie peaceful means kicking in doors and occupying chancellors offices...

Now the original post wasnt a call to arms, just satisfying my curiosity, but it does strike me that letter writing, while being very polite, doesnt make people pay alot of attention, i know that as i read a letter i'd be thinking "oh you dont want us to do this... thats nice".

But then again, i dont know who is in a position of power and who gives a crap so oi wouldnt know who to complain to anyway.

that would be cool... but i'm sure some dickhead will start doin burn outs and spoiling it..... if everyone just casually drove up to the front door and parked quietly i'm sure it would get a point across

hmmm, this is sounding more and more appealing now. I'm having enough trouble as it is finding time to work and organise the GSD so if anyone wants to organise a protest i'll be up for it. i've pretty much got my car to seem stock.

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
    • Measure voltage at the starter solenoid terminal when the key is at start and it has clicked. If it is really low, then the suspicion falls on the ignition switch (contacts or wiring thereof) as causing a voltage drop instead of sending enough volts to throw the solenoid all the way to engage the starter itself. If it is a decent voltage, then the suspicion is on the solenoid. Might have s horted coil, or might hva dirty contacts. Rip the starter off, dismantle, clean up contacts and inspect winding. It might not be possible to see if there is a short in the winding though. I have a spare starter here that I could measure the resistance of the coil, as a guide to about what it should be, if you need a comparison. <parts hoarder>No you cannot have it.</parts hoarder>
