ooooo i know where this is

Hahahaha, I'd hope you knew where this was - it's listed in the ad as "The Toy Shop," which is an importer/dealer/wreckers around your area.. LOL.

Yeah, clearly they've listed it as an Autech to get views to the add and a few enquiries from those not quite in the know. The car has the wrong seats, wrong front bumper, wrong wheels, and a whole bunch of other stuff.

And as for how Autechs were produced and build-plated, I thought they were all plated as WGNC34s (with the "N" in the model code signifying AWD, and they might even have been atmo RB25s when they were shipped from the Nissan factory to Autech (hence the "G" in the model code meaning RB25, where "H" is an RB20).

I found this on ebay, Link

IMO, you can add an RB26, and even an Autech kit (which this one doesn't have) but that still doesn't make it an Autech Stagea. its along the same lines as putting an RB26 and a GTR kit on a GTST and passing it off as a GTR, its wrong.

also, i didn't think you could comply a car that has had an engine conversion :P

Man... that thing was floating around for sale in syd about 2yrs ago! Japlink motors I think. No Autech. Not even close.

Obviously they couldn sell it in the big stink. Had 26000 on it. LOL

      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.
