"lol i do rundles as well!!"

Vange and Bixby.... Dont you guys attract unwanted attention from teenage boys and jealous cops that are hungry to jack up their quota so that they get promoted from all the revenue they are creating! (aswell as the wanted attention from the young girls... I would have thought you would have been defected by now!!!!!

I have only done a rundle street cruise once and that was with my BRO driving --> too afraid about being defected-- even though there are no illegal mods :P .. GOttta admit every one looks once they hear the induction noise..... My car sounds like a frigging fighter jet.. sometimes attracts a bit of unwanted attention....

Well, you are right REdgtst. The hungry 'blue boys' patrolling down at Rundles are obviously looking for some action. I was once followed by them from the back from Rundle till Pulteney St. At traffic light, the cops just stopped on the my right and stared at my cars ("Trying their best to look some excuse to stop me I guess"). But fortunate enough, there was not much of a tint on my windows and the height was legal as well. (Lol) Too bad... They just had to forget about me and look for another one! :D

Spotted Skippy today very nice looking man

um saw a dark blue 32 up on grenfell rd near the show grounds and on the back its had a funny badge ive never nver seen b4

was a exact copy of a GTR red emblem badge but instead of R it was a Red S so was

GT

. S

anyways both were nice and saw a nice 2door 33 like mine comming down prot rd off from south rd i was fortunate enough to let him in on a gap no 1 would let him in on

lol spotted a nice looking R33 at about 6:45 near north adelaide, turned the corner, and what do you know.... vange - i swear there must be multiple clones of that car driving around. :D

edit: perhaps we need a seperate spotted: vange thread? :)

Last night spotted blue 33, standard looking with nice rims on west terrace around 8pm.

On way home 5am along west terrace spotted silver 32 gtr (P plates) when went past and gave a wave he started to try and show off, flooring it and almost taking my front end off lucky i backed off. Not gonna be impressed by moron flooring it on wet roads!! Really should they allow some people such nice cars!!

Nope. :(

spotted a white stagea with R34 GTT rims fri 4:30am at anzac highway south road intersection

WHERE have u been our big man? :D

LOL was that you in the taxi waving???

hahahaha cool

was at a sendoff for me bestest mate heading overseas for the rest of the year. made sure I stopped drinking at midnight so I could get the shagnwagn home.

Im always feeling a bit suspicious waving at taxis, so I didnt; sorry!

Spotted a white R33(S2) on Grote St. at about 2.30pm today. The mufler looks pretty small to me but I'm pretty sure it will definitely crack the hell out when the pedal is floored. :laugh: Usually the smaller the hole of the mulfler, the higher pitch the sound would be. Nice car overall.

One fri night coppers were at lights too the right of me (near walkerville) and i turned left at any time and idled up to 60. They then waited for their lights to go green and fanged up behind me. I saw them coming in rear view and turned off and then made a few quick turns but they ended up following me and then put on thier sirens.. I then went on for a bit and pulled into a side street (instead of blocking off the road). I then went to jump out (didnt want them (their were two of them on bikes) to see boost controller, PFC commander and other non legal mods :) ) and they told me to get back in the car (and warned me that if i didnt obey they would slap a defect on- hence i was like yes sir three bags full sir what ever you want!!!! ( i think they wanted to stick their head in and sniff for weed). THey then went over my car and said that my spoiler was illegal and who sold it to me. I replied that i t came on the car when i bought it and hence i was told it would have to be removed otherwise next time they saw me that i would be defected!!!!!!! (im positive my spoiler isnt illegal!!!!). THey then said that they know my car and that they will be keeping an eye on me!!! Why i dont know because i dont do anything suss around town where social cohesion can be affected!!!!

Anyway alls well that ends well and i havnt seen those cops around since!!!!!! :)

    • 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.
