hey all,

im new to this.. but ahh.. hi my names alex.. from old melbourne... umm... i have just bought my first skyline after a long anticiptated wait... so happens i found a r33 gts-t on car sales which seemed to be awsome (dont they all) after all the phone calls i headed about 4 hours from my house to meet the guy... the car looked and sounded grouse... after a mechanical check by racv sayin the car was in good condition we followed on to buy it.... claiming its 300rwkw.. with a new series 2 engine and a t04e garret turbo sitting on custom headers with a front mount and custom throttle body and a whole lot of other mods... i began to drive the car home with me old man to find about 5 minutes into the drive the car was blowing intense blue smoke.. i babied her home and got her to our mechanic to find that the engine is completely rooted and the compression test that racv gave us was complete bull dust aswell... so turns out i need to bung a new engine in her.... i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions about places to go in melbourne about dropping in a new motor, transfering all the mods across and maybe doing some more perfance at the end... like forge the pistons and stuff like that.. what should i do/?

if i was you i'd be looking at RACV to fork out for the repairs. the whole point of them is that you buy a car with the assurance that its fine. if they cleared the compression and it was actually crap then you should go to them and tell them to fix it.

thats how the NRMA checks work anyway.

      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 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.

      ..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.
