There are guys that do this sort of thing for car dealerships - if its not too bad you could try that?

I dont have the numbers of any of them but just go to your closest dealership and ask them who they use

Little scrape? Touch up paint dude. Ask a local panelbeater if they have the colour. Otherwise try Nissan or import workshops for the colour. Don't have no's atm.

I've filled up fine scratches on my 33 with polish, but if the paint has been scraped all the way to the body then polish is useless.

Cheers

If it's not too bad then touch-up paint is good. If you can't get Midnight Purple then look for something as close as possible, or, if it's only very small scratches at the very bottom of the lip then black touchup over the actual scratches can take the attention away if you do it correctly....

his car is midnight purple :)

on srz note: Try autobarn, they can mix the acrylic touch up paint for you. Just bring ur paint code with you. 30bux a can.

It's more dark blue then purple..

And If you get a dark blue texta it will fix the problem.. I do it on my car all the time!

Try just use a brush to apply the spray as spray goes everywhere and if you get it on your ride you'll have to buff/polish it off .. just a tip .. id say pre mix autobarn way is going to be best.. However I have bought a midnight purple colour when I was doing some mod work to my pc .. looks very similar gold flakes everything .. just go check out the sprays

      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.
