Nice!!

Hey, I think I remember you talking about wanting to get a 32GTR somewhere in some thread (but I may be confusing you with some1 else).

If not, how long you had it man? Looks sweet! Any mods?

Cheers mate

hmm didnt write any threads about wanting one, but I almost bought your old dark grey 32gtst years ago when it was in Tassie, twas very clean I remember.

I think I asked you for pictures of it etc.

Anyway I bit the bullet in the end and waited it out to get a GTR, the car landed Dec last year stock as shown apart from catback and have so far done

Cusco front/rear strut braces

Cusco front/rear sway bars

Lowered on Teins

and XD9s

Ahhh, thats right, i remember now. Yeah I always had a soft spot for that car.

Very nice.. Very similar to mine - I've also got Tein Super-street's, Work XT7's, HKS underbody chassis kit, 5Zigen exhaust and thats about it. I don't have any immediate plans to do any more to it cause I like it as it is. But if I had a spare $15k lying around then forged internals and gt-ss turbo's would be nice :)

    • 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
    • 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.
