15k will get u a good rb20det gtst with a usual mods... most probably an exhaust system and a pod in most cases.

contact the guys at www.j-spec.com.au and they should hook you up with one, or at least subscibe to their update emails, that way you can collect emails advertising em and you'll know roughly what to expect and what to pay for it.

if you're gettin a 32 get it fast, coz as of next montht he compliance price goes up by $2000 and you can no longer compliance any non stock cars : the former is defintely true, btu I think they're flexible on the latter.

if I were you i'd go for a R32 GTS4 (which is a GTSt with AWD like on the GTR) sorta like a halfway between a GTR and a GTSt, you should be able to get one for that price... and you'll definitely notice the difference.

OR wait till about halfway thru 2004 and you should be able to pick up a 1989 R32 (any model: GTS, GTSt, GTS4, GTR) for a cheap price, coz you don't have to comply 15 yr old cars.

Do a few Mods to it and expect to pay well over $3500 a year on insurance. So when u think about it in 4 - 5 years u will have bought another skyline with just Insurance money. Sports cars r not cheap so my advice is if u got no cash forget about moding it to heavy. On the other hand if u r not broke GO FULL HOG.

I would :]

As for choice of car an R33 GTS-t would be Bannana`s.

      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.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.
