What size are the Cap bolts as that will tell you all you need to know. but the weird part is there are a LOT of torque setting within engine that are simply used to have the same tension on the retainer's and keep any warping within the block to a minimum.

I would Aim for between 35 to 45 Ft Lbs starting at 20 and working my way up until you on the upper edge at around 40FtLbs which is 54-55nM
realistically this is a good figure for the Mains and 30-35 FtLbs or around 45 nM for the Rods.

I'd make sure the Bearings Caps and bolt threads are spotlessly clean by washing in Shellite and Compressed Air blown clean and dry, a drop of light oil or assembly lube applied and torqued to specs.
The Diagram below will give good usable torque settings. Most of the studs you will be dealing with will likely be 6.8 to 8.8 tensile strength as well .

Bolt Size Pitch mm Head mm Strength Grade 4.6 6.8 8.8 10.9 12.9
3 0.5 5.5 0.51 1.01 1.35 1.90 2.27
4 0.7 7 0.95 1.91 2.54 3.57 4.29

5 0.8 8 2.28 4.56 6.09 8.56 10.3

6 1.0 10 3.92 7.85 10.5 14.7 17.7

8 1.25 13 9.48 18.9 25.3 35.5 42.7

10 1.5 17 19.1 38.1 50.9 71.5 86.8

12 1.75 19 32.6 65.1 86.9 122 146

14 2.0 22 51.9 104 139 195 234

16 2.0 24 79.9 160 213 299 359

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Have a look at that (shitty) pic I posted. You can see AN -4 braided line coming to a -4 to 1/8 BSPT adapter, into a 1/8 BSPT T piece. The Haltech pressure sender is screwed into the long arm of the sender and factory sender (pre your pic) into the T side. You can also see the cable tie holding the whole contraption in place. Is it better than mounting the sender direct to your engine fitting......yes because it removes that vibration as the engine revs out 50 times every lap and that factory sender is pretty big. Is it necessary for you......well I've got no idea, I just don't like something important failing twice so over-engineer it to the moon!

      Yup. You can get creative and make a sort of "bracket" with cable ties. Put 2 around the sender with a third passing underneath them strapped down against the sender. Then that third one is able to be passed through some hole at right angles to the orientation of the sender. Or some variation on the theme. Yes.... ummm, with caveats? I mean, the sender is BSP and you would likely have AN stuff on the hose, so yes, there would be the adapter you mention. But the block end will either be 1/8 NPT if that thread is still OK in there, or you can drill and tap it out to 1/4 BSP or NPT and use appropriate adapter there. As it stands, your mention of 1/8 BSPT male seems... wrong for the 1/8 NPT female it has to go into. The hose will be better, because even with the bush, the mass of the sender will be "hanging" off a hard threaded connection and will add some stress/strain to that. It might fail in the future. The hose eliminates almost all such risk - but adds in several more threaded connections to leak from! It really should be tapered, but it looks very long in that photo with no taper visible. If you have it in hand you should be able to see if it tapered or not. There technically is no possibility of a mechanical seal with a parallel male in a parallel female, so it is hard to believe that it is parallel male, but weirder things have happened. Maybe it's meant to seat on some surface when screwed in on the original installation? Anyway, at that thread size, parallel in parallel, with tape and goop, will seal just fine.

      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

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      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.
