Bad Carlos - what's he doing driving that overpriced Volkswagen?

Nissan boss crashes Porsche into motorbike

Nissan Motor Co. President Carlos Ghosn escaped unharmed after he crashed his Porsche into a motorbike in downtown Tokyo, police said.

The motorbike fell to the ground and the rider and a passenger sustained minor injuries in the accident that happened shortly before 11 a.m., Sunday, on Gaien-Higashi Dori avenue in the capital's Minato-ku.

Ghosn, 49, was making a U-turn and strayed into the opposite lane, where his vehicle hit an oncoming motorbike. (Mainichi Shimbun, Japan, Feb. 9, 2004)

is there any japanese input in the new nissan's?
Yes. I posted up ages ago that Nissan makes the 3 most important decisions on any given problem/project/discussion, and Renault (read: Ghosn) makes the 23 other less important decisions...

Btw, Nissan isn't dead. They're just doing business differently. All you guys are still stuck in the bubble economy years with your expectations of Nissan. I'd just like to add that Nissan aren't the only ones doing major restructuring... and I'm not just talking about car makers either. These kind of changes are happening in all levels of business in Japan, so "the good old days" are just that: old... and never to return.

      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.
