what the feck

now i'm really pissed

as above on the way to work on the freeway

got pulled over by a bikecop for travelling 4km straight in the right lane. 2km of which i was over taking cars going slow in the left lane.

final fine here $50 and 2points.

so should fight it or take the option the probationary thing (where u have to be good for one year with a set amount of points. also how many points u get with this?) when i loose my licence seeing i have 1 point left.

any cops on here u can advise?

Breaking news

I have the best girlfriend in the world. She called the local cop shop.

Told them what happened. (This proves there are good cops out there) The officer she spoke said the laws had been changed recently and in WA on a multi lane road your allowed to travel in the right hand lane for as long as you want as long as you are not doing less than 10kph under the speed limit for the road.

Going on this I should be safe, Kyles was also given anothers officers name and station for me to go see to sort it out.

What a girl

Gotta love her mwa thanks babe.

The law in NSW is that on a freeway you must move to the left unless you are passing another car ie. "KEEP LEFT UNLESS OVERTAKING".

If there's one thing that REALLY CHEESES ME OFF it's drivers that sit in the right hand lane. This is both a discourteous and frustrating habit. :x

They are either oblivious to the cars piling up behind them (scary thought), self-appointed speed police or f***wits who don't give a sh1t.

I don't know what the definition of "overtaking" is. As long as there is a speed differential one would think that you were "overtaking". When there are no longer any cars to pass, move left.

The problem with doing this is you may lose your "slot" in the traffic due to every other f***knuckle speeding up to close the gap.

A comprehensive driver training programme is way overdue in Australia. Followed by mandatory re-testing every 5 or so years for ALL OF US!

Just my $0.02 :P

      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.

      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.
