Details of the car:

Well, to start off her name is Patty the patrol :rofl: (gf's idea). As you would expect there is a fair bit of rust but its not real major.

There is some on the passenger side a pillar, some on the passenger window sill and quite alot on the drivers door which has made the drivers door sag abit.

The motor is in great nick. She starts first time every time (literally...). Tyres on her are mismatched but have plenty of tread like 80%> easily, also comes with spare tyre with equal tread in the back.

The car recently had a new LPG tank fitted and is unbelievably good on Gas. She also runs on fuel but being a straight 6 the petrol disappears quickly.

Ive run the car on fuel at least once a week to lubricate the engine as gas runs hotter.

The car has a 4 speed gearbox and chugs along just fine.

The cars interior was molested once upon a time with fluff etc... that has all been ripped off and only the necessities have been left. The car has a massive bull bar with two "spotties" that work. Also included is a very sturdy roof rack. Interestingly enough the car has all its original papers, so you can peruse through all its previous owners. According to the papers it was originally from Noosa QLD lol, even regency inspection papers included lmao...

Also recently ive had all the oils and coolants replaced (gearbox oil, diff oil, engine oil, coolant, slave cylinder fluid, brake fluid) and a new battery also.

The car engine and mechanically wise is excellent. The body is a little rough no dents however, just rust and the original yellow has faded (expected for such an old car though)

Car also comes with a towball for towing the skyline =D Other than that the car runs excellent, awesome for a daily.

Reason for selling is that my skyrine is almost back on the road and i wont be needing it anymore.

If any questions arise please PM me or post, other than that i can be contacted on my phone anytime of the day and inspections are most welcome. Price is certaily negotiable.

*EDIT* Forgot to mention that the 4WD works also, low range highrange and all that.

      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.
