The first time? It will take a few hours I think. It is made difficult as the aircon condenser is hooked into the bottom of the radiator.

Great... maybe I should get a new radiator now. I need to regass the air con and replace the belt, and get the bypass kit, and I've got a Nismo thermostat here waiting to go on when I replace the radiator.

Might be worth getting it over and done with before the stock one dies, and I can keep it as a spare.

lol you sound like Leon!

I figured the thermostat would be harder to get locally than a radiator, so I needed one on the shelf!

There was method to my madness...

Plus, my shelf is starting to get emptied, so need to find stuff to fill it up again! :D

In all seriousness though, I've read enough on here to have me a bit nervous about the radiator, so I have been tempted for a while to replace it before it dies, probably with the Mishimoto.

Managed to find that extra time this afternoon, the sensor was disconnected (and full of JDM fluff); I now have cold air again! +1 reps to both Scotty and Iain for identifying the problem so quickly :cheers:

in case it helps anyone, heres the location of the various sensors etc for the M35 air con

      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.
