If I'm doing a static burnout, the accelerometer shouldn't recognise any g forces apart from some slight vibration...

If I'm rolling along at 60 on a rough road, it'll also not detect any g forces apart from slight vibrations...

Unless I'm missing something, Accelerometers can't detect speed, so how would it know if its doing a burnout?

Sorry, thought we were talking about going off road. Yes, detecting a burnout is a current issue I'm having. To an extent, accelerometers can detect speed. Acceleration (Gs or m/s^2) over time (seconds) will give you speed (m/s off the top of my head). When I do testing I'll have to see what the reading differences are like between say a burnout, and simply revving the motor. But since the accelerometer can detect acceleration and deceleration you can see if the car is static.

So, knowing that, we can possibly recognize if someone is doing a burnout. We take into consideration whether the car is static (making sure that acceleration and deceleration are equivalent - hence the car is stationary.) and if the car is static and there's a large amount of vibrations, it is possible that you're doing a burnout. Again, need to compare revving the engine to a burnout and see how clear the difference is between them.

yeah Accelerometers are accurate over very short periods of time, but not for car movement, even with a good quality high resolution 3-axis one. Too many variables... bumps, hills, etc...Even the most amazingly complex math in the world can't overcome that without additional assistance from a quality GPS signal or an ECU speed input...

ECU is just not feasible, end of story. I can't do anything about that, I'd love to use it, trust me, but I can't. GPS will be there.

Do you perhaps have ideas for other sensors?

Again, it would be awesome to tap into the ECU, but there's no way I can create comms systems for every bloody model out there.

Mandatory penalties are bullshit.

Murderers still get their day in court and judges are able to apply discretion, yet a victimless crime gets a set punishment regardless of degree.

People busted speeding should receive a penalty appropriate to the "crime"".

If I could delete your post I would. This isn't a discussion concerning whether we believe in the types of punishments currently in place, so I'd ask you to refrain from trying to create such an argument.

      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.
