R33 shifter bush issues

Hey guys quick question in regards to the shifter bush located on the end of the gear stick that slots into the gear selector 

R33 GTS-T S2

I recently purchased a replacement bush as mine was worn and there was a lot of slop in the stick so I went with a GK tech solid shifter bush as they outlast the plastic ones.

GK tech bush was wayyyyyy to big by a mile even though it was the correct one for my vehicle so that was a no go 

So...

I ordered a genuine Nissan one and guess what! The same damn thing is still way too big so could someone tell me if I'm missing something here or is this some kind of manufacturing screw up because after hours of messing around knuckle deep inside the gearbox I'm nothing but pissed off and confused

 Cheers

You sure it's too big? They can be quite fiddly to get in. I had tried a gktech 1 and couldn't get it in but the oem went in OK when lined up correctly.

Yeah it's literally the different between a 20 cent coin and a 10 cent coin i understand it's a snuck fit but it doesn't take an Einstein to tell it doesn't fit haha

GKtech sell two one which is big one which is small. One is for GTR one for GTST. 

I have one here at home, I went to put it in but wasn't happy with it so I removed it. If you're in Sydney I'll give it to you for free.

      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.

      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.
