Along with checking the manifold flange for flatness, the t4 twin scroll gt35 atp housing I received had a lot of loose sitting slag deep inside the scrolls (out of sight). Worth thoroughly checking for the sake of the exhaust wheel.

Is Sabbadin Automotive is doing the mechinical work for you?

Yes, we had the car transported down to Melbourne into Robs trusty hands for the engine build and to oversee the whole project.

I'll make a note of checking that. The turbo is supplied from Full Race so I'm unsure if they are they same as ATP's?

More pieces coming in, it seems like it never ends...

The calculations we did for the new engine require an extra Bosch 044 and 1000cc injectors, so time to spend some time upgrading the whole system.

We have decided that the Tial MVS wastegates will not be water cooled (interested to hear peoples thoughts on this though), and that the run in tune will be 11psi with normal boost being set at 23psi. Interestingly the Tial MVS runs 3 springs to make the desired boost pressure, as compared to the usual one or two.

New fuel system. One 044 with the standard pump acting as a lift wasn't going to cut it. Now twin 044 and a dedicated low volume lift pump to reduce heat build-up in the fuel. E85 Ready too ;)

We have hit a hurdle lately with the wiring that has stopped the dash/heater controls/windows/speedo to stop working. (If only i could fine a body harness wiring diagram!!! :rant: ) If anyone has had anything similar please by all means let me know, as the issue is causing the alternator to stop charging and thus the car is basically unusable. We have tried several auto-elecs to help out with the issue but nobody seems to be willing to take on the challenge. If anyone knows someone that can lend a hand, please pass on my details to them.

Finally got the car back in Sydney, the car has peformed very well and I'll try to go through all the stuff we have done over the last few weeks.

Needless to say, a severe lack of traction all the way to fourth gear, so some new sticky rubber will be the next thing on the list.

Looks the goods Dale, where did you get the polished fuse box cover? Do you guys sell them?

I bought it from the UK through a guy who made some in his spare time and sold them on eBay. Not sure if he is still doing them though.

We made some carbon fibre ones for a while, but they didn't sell very well.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      ..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.

      And if you have to drill the oil block, then just drill it for 1/4" and tap it BSP and get a 1/8 to 1/4 BSP bush. The Nissan sender will go straight in and the bush will suit the newly tapped hole. And it will be real strong, to boot.

      No it doesn't. It just needs an ezy-out to pull that broken bit of alloy out of the hole and presto chango - it will be back to being a 1/8" hole tapped NPT. as per @MBS206 recco. That would be for making what you had in alloy, in steel. If you wanted to do just that instead of remote mounting like @Duncan and I have been pushing. A steel fitting would be unbreakable (compared to that tragically skinny little alloy adapter). But remote mounting would almost certainly be 10x better. Small engineering shops abound all over the place. A lathe and 10 minutes of time = 2x six packs.

      Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender

      I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
