always come armed with part numbers when you goto autobarn.. that's what i've learnt anyway.

and if you've got an 11/98 onwards r34... ask em what oil filter you need.. they'll almost always try to sell you a Z145a, and won't believe you that you need a filter from a nissan micra (z442).. i've had that conversation about three times with them now.

If you are after suspension for a skyline its hard to go past the Group buy set up bt Sydneykid.

Whiteline suspension components and Bilstein shock absorbers

15% discount off recommended retail and free freight if the individual order is over $500. Plus if you spend $1,000 or more you get an additional 5% discount.

EDIT: this link is for the Gts-t - are the 32 and 33 GTR's the same suspension?

It would be worth PMing Sydneykid for a suspension setup (if there isnt one already) as you will get good advice from someone with lots of experience both on the road and on the track.

It's not suspension but my mate bought some speakers from autobahn for his 04 WRX and he told the chick what speakers he needed but she assured him that he needed different ones. They were top of the line Alpine's i think and when he got em home, guess what, they didn't fit! He took em back and explained that she was wrong and stuff and then she was like "Oh, you meant for a 04 WRX, I thought you said a 98 WRX". THICK AS! The ones he needed were a different price and he refused to pay that price because she stuffed up, the ones he needed weren't on special like the other ones. She was like but I'll get in trouble with my manager and my mate was like well you should have done your job right the first time and we wouldn't have had this problem, DUH! So, he ended up getting top of the range Alpine speakers that were meant to be close to $300 for under $100, haha suckers! Good luck with your suspension though mate, hopefully you know not to use them next time.

      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.
