I strongly suggest that you ask the same question on antilag. They might be able to help you out.

I don't follow. I get the joke, but I haven't been on antilag forums to know how they would handle the question, can you please elaborate?

Methinks you need to consider your comments more carefully before hitting the send button.

Show me an image of your car and I will single something out and tell you it looks disgusting and you should burn your car for it. f**k head.

We all had to start somewhere, and I am sure you asked some stupid questions as well. I didn't purposely set myself up to look like a tool. How else are you supposed to learn if you don't ask questions? You do know f**k all, cause if you had any intelligence at all you would have realized that.

Perhaps also you need to be less touchy. If you had spent a little longer reviewing other posts, you would have observed that asking any question where you demonstrate little knowledge or effort to find the answer yourself is likely to be given short shrift. Such threads have often been stopped dead after two posts by a moderator with the pithy line "Use the search button". I am sure, that as someone from the Google Generation, you can come up with a search expression that would reap dividends on this forum - because it has all been answered before.

In addiiton, as someone who has been on the forum for little more than a year, you might also pay a bit more attention to the advice offered by those who have been here for 5 times as long. Your question demonstrated not just lack of knowledge but also naivety. Your responses compounded this and I suspect that your thread only remains open for a short while for entertainment value!

In case you haven't got the message, in summary, there is no way to get permission for illegal mods. The Engineer's Certificate provides a means of gaining permission for a heavily modified car that has gone beyond the variations allowed to the basic manufacturers specification - but remains legal within the ADRs.

Also, if you want to survive on this, or any other forum, take some time to learn the conventions (largely unwritten) and pay a little respect to those who have been here longer than you. If you don't like that, you can always take your bat, neons and keyboard home.

Please note, before you respond with pithy epithets, that a) I am being very polite and b) I am offering constructive advice. Please take it as such. Keyboard warriors are so tiresome.

Cheers. :cheers:

      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.

      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.
