Hi all,

I have been trying to get some information clarified. In NSW, legally how is a car dealer meant to advertise a Demo car that has been registered. Is the advertised year determined by Build date or Compliance date?

For example, a car has build date of 2013, compliance date of 2014 and is a MY14. It is a demo car that has had registration for three months. What year are they legally meant to advertise it as? Again it's a Demo, so I guess that would qualify it as a used car? If so I'm sure that should change things?

I know it's a bit of a grey area especially when it comes to a brand new car, It is also different in each state.

In S.A it doesn't matter if it's a brand spanking new car, a demo or a fully used car, it has to be advertised by the build date.

Again just after information for N.S.W. I would Appreciate any help.

Cheers,

Paul

At a Volvo Dealership Paul, this 3l turbo straight six...

Terry-3_zps4e1b5e7e.jpg

had been driven by a director over the past year for 11,000Km.

Build Date = 2011

Model = 2012

Complied = 2013

Bought as a 1st Owner = 2014

Upon transfer of registration (with new car 4 yr manufacturer's wty), it reads as a 2013 car.

Personally, we though it'd be 2012.

Anyway-y-y-y-y...

It's goes off tbe compliance date

yup, compliance date.

warranty goes by first date of registration.

Ok... They sure have it both ways then. I bet when it comes to resale it will be based on Build date :(

Like I said in S.A , no matter what, the car has to be sold by the build date. I must say its a bit disappointing, from what I have found out it is a bit of a grey area. I also would have thought the rule/law would change when it has been registered? I would expect that from a dubious used car sales place etc. but not from a premium dealer especially when forking out a bit of coin. Would be nice if they said it's really a 2013, another lesson learnt I guess, don't trust anyone :(

I also thought it would change things when it's been registered all ready,

When reselling, you would also advertise by the compliance date.

The reason we go off compliance, is due to some manufacturers taking literally 1-2 years to get compliance after the car had been built.

Who would want to buy a 2yr old new car?

      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.
