Its scary to realise how many people don't know basic road rules and think they have right of way.. This OP was doing the speed limit, he overtook a truck which should be doing less and in this case was as the OP was overtaking it, he isn't doing anything wrong (until he slows down) but the tard in the 33 was speeding and tailgating. If the knobhead 33 driver wasnt a tool and was doing 110 he would have passed the truck anyway. Sure it was wrong to slow down but these days there are that many wankers on the roads who do not know or care for the rules it ruins a simple drive to work/shops etc. The dumb shits bagging out the original poster need to look at themselves and just say out loud, "Im a shit driver with no road courtesy for others". Too much Need For Speed and Autobarn dreaming.

If i may just add my 2c ...

The law based on the RTA (or TRMS or whatever you want to call them now) is to actually slow down when you have someone tailgating or "being up your ass"

This is so if you indeed need to slam on the brakes for whatever reason there wont be another car in your passenger seat when you do.

Dont ask me exactly where this is in the book/website but this exact question was part of my license test several years ago.

How do you know that the guy wasn't in a hurry for some kind of emergency? Its pretty simple... The right lane is for overtaking, and if someone comes up behind you just move over... Don't get the shits that someone is going faster than you and slow down and block them with a truck and then come on a forum whinging about it...

^^^ Correct

John Cadogan media advisor for NRMA is a big stickler for TRAFFIC FLOW.

Sure, drivers may occupy a spot according to their perceived rights, but responsibility will always exceed rights!

Responsibility for improved traffic flow is to complete your own overtaking manoeuvre and pull back into lane 2 or 1 in a multilane highway.

John is also an advocate for "P" platers to be able to go up to maximum speed limits on highways/motorways to not disrupt traffic flow!

Too bad that all is logical, because RTA has an anti-logic policy :angry:

HAHAH that is awesome, i would shake the cops hand for that, i drive the F3 from the coast to sydney and back every day for work and the amount of times im in the left lane going faster then the ppl in the right lane is a joke, and i think the guy with the camera in that is also a cop, have a look at the Yellow vest he has on in the mirror has the blue and white checker on it :D

Ha thanks for that Terry! Exactly we need more of that!

I think everyone is in agreement here that yes the overtaking lane is for overtaking. Not sitting there in your own world.

Alex though I think was saying it was the acts of what the driver did that shouldn't be condoned as in the aggressive behaviour or "road rage".

I think he admitted to knowing what he did wasn't right but rather just at a point of frustration which really is not an excuse and only adds to the problem.

However, I also agree that the RTA does not help in these sorts of things at all.

While it is an offence which holds a fine and 3 demerit points, tailgating is still an issue.

And this becomes an even greater issue when people don't move out of the right/overtaking lane.

I think Terry summed it up the best in the statement of Traffic Flow and that's what we should be aiming for.

      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.
