It's a bit like how the improvement in CSI techniques has forced people who steal cars to completely torch them rather than just dump them ..... sad in a lot of ways.

I have seen this car around a fair bit, idiots!

I agree with harsher penalties causing more of this to an extent, but theres that little switch in everyone, every single time i saw lights on behind me my instinct was oh shit gotta pull over, regardless of the situation. thinking i could get away never even crossed my mind. to be the kinda person that even would contemplate initiating a car chase, wow, dont buy a import for our sake.

Couldnt agree more. If anyones ever watched the show COPS you'll know that trying to leg it basically confirms a suspicion of guilt. After all, if you've nothing to hide, why run?

Because if a cop sees you boot it away from a set of lights to 60km/h and wants to pull you over for street racing, it's going to be your word against his. Like I said, being told you're guilty until you prove you're innocent changes the whole dynamic.

And just because you guys don't feel the need to run (and I don't either) doesn't mean that, in that split second, someone else won't make the wrong choice knowing their car is going to be impounded and they're going to lose their licence for 12 months if they stop.

    • Wish I had this advice when I did my pump. It went in and out 3 or 4 times, and on the last time it snapped.
    • Tried them, they leaked. I also foolishly bought some random rubber ones that leaked too.  Genuine and not looked back.    As always though sample size of one, and I could have made a mistake installing them. 
    • Technically still manual process to set it first time though
    • Shit job but not hard. I'd use a piece of wood to knock the plastic lid open to avoid damaging it, use a vacuum to clean up the fuel sender lid also so crap doesn't fall in. I'd probably do pump and filter at the same time since you're already in there, I reused my OEM sock after a quick clean since the one provided wasn't long enough. Could also hardwire your pump if you feel inclined.
    • Supercheap auto sell this: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/pat-plusquip-fuel-tank-lock-ring-tool---universal-kit/SPO3564082.html I own this and if you HAVE PATIENCE you can remove it without snapping lines and generally being incredibly angry, then said at doing this job. Sadly I've removed the pump about 75,000 times over the years. I don't know if you're a large lad or a smaller lad but my advice to you as someone who is 185cm is if you are my height or smaller, is to sit in the boot and take your time. Yes you can put the seal on. The seal goes over the white thing/lid (you will see how it 'slots' in) then the whole assembly presses into the tank. then you screw the lock ring on. I spent so much time doing things the wrong way by trying to mount the seal into the tank first, then putting the white fuel hat on in the space provided. Put it together first then it'll all go in. But seriously be careful about removing the hoses AND where the removal tool is moving relative to the plastic pipes coming out of the lid when you've removed it. IT IS BRITTLE So brittle in fact I have two spare lids, and would recommend buying a spare and having it handy before attempting to do this. May as well throw https://justjap.com/products/deatschwerks-dw300-fuel-pump-nissan-s13-silvia-r32-r33-r34-skyline-c34-stagea?currency=AUD in the tank as well, as this uses all stock plugs and such. You may need to/strongly recommend you re-use your OEM fuel sock or use the one supplied with a length of hose so it sits at the stock height.
