East Bear will definately be pricey,.. but it's going to fit alot better than a cheaper alternative.

Wayne J; I know how it is being in two minds about LED tail lights, I've definately considered it, ... the stock ones do look a bit dated, but they will always look tough as,... whereas the LED's just look "pretty". :banana:

True. Sometimes they're a little too "bling" for me, certain ones anyway.

My stock tailight lenses look a little dull/faded, as do the (rather useless) reversing lights.

I have some plastic polish and might try to revive them a little when I get the time.

Hey that reminds me - I've noticed that some 34's seem to have one reverse light clear and the other is red (or has a red globe)??? What's that about, anyone know?

Here's a perfect example:

GTR's are ALL like that with the reversing light and the fog light.

Also, SOME GTTs had that,including mine, but I'm the only GTT I know that had this option. I think it was included in the "snow" kit on mountain cars which also includes heated side mirrors and heated windscreen wiper pads to keep the wipers from freezing onto the windows.

Thanks Bass Junky for the explanation! :P

the fog light i remember someone saying a while ago was an optional for the GT-Ts.

Sheng/q looks good :( rims are a bit small though.

a cold day or something? Everyone in the background has their arms crossed.

I have one discoloured reverse light.

When I purchased my car, the only other GT-T in the lot had the same light (left hand side) discoloured, so I wondered if it was a common fault as in not sealed properly. It's quite annoying, however I havn't had the guts to do the whole baking in the oven, polishing, and resealing thing yet,.... I'm a newbie when it comes to DIY. I dread when the time comes where I'll have to polish up the headlights.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      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.

      ..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.
