Totally dude,

The price of amazing electronic gear these days is cheap as.

Like an android tablet for $99....

Or that amazing rc plane uav gear you can get now. that sht is so cheap now im getting one for sure.

Its just the supply / demand thing, they got us by the balls cos cars all need a different one.... or so they say.....or maybe its got something to do with the Elvis, moon landing, illuminati, 911, new world order, Michael Jackson asassination, Alien contact, Oil company secret energy technology, Bermuda Triangle conspiracy theory.

Maybe I should see if theres an app on my note 2 for a power fc :yes:

I can see his point but as already mentioned they have us by the balls. In most cases spending 2k is not required though, nistune or power fc is less then half that and suitable for 95% of people. Still expensive but what can you do?

Every ECU in every car is linked together and as part of a system called GSIS (Global Spherical Intergalactical Satelite) to make contact with extraterestrials who gives us blue prints on how to create the iPhone 20 and Galaxy S2K.

As for the price, it's military grade equipment with the possibility of it being sourced a few light years away. The people who made it probably uses the ECU as ancient paperweights in which we found use for.

Like seriously.. whats up with ECU's for cars. $2000ish for a computer that follows a programmed map, and has the processing power of a wrist watch..

Tune your car with a wristwatch and post results?

i was going to post up saying rational things as to why things cost so much (such as cost of developement, not just production, play a part in why things costs the way they do). then i read other posts, so all i have to say is......

if the floor falls out from your rolex then it isn't genuine

      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.
