Yuh, that's just a sheathed TC passed through a gland.  The screwed fitting at the very top (female part) is the gland seal.  The TC is very short, so it would be trivial to not insert it far enough.  Just loosen it and see if it can be pushed in further.

Finally got the car back. Based on a quick spin everything seems a-ok, no more bubbles in coolant, in fact the overflow is sitting rock steady at the max mark before and after a run now. Water and oil

If your not going to go crazy with the boost levels Stock headbolts will be fine unless you plan on running more than 22psi closer to 25psi Would get away with a head skim and genuine headgasket un

Have you got a new radiator cap? Have you had a new radiator? Go to a radiator shop and get a pressure test then get them to take the top tank off and clean out the radiator or recore as necessary. Yo

According to tampered motorsport website apparently there is a sandown track day on the 11/12. I may sign up for that once I have my car running again.

Some of us other SAU's might join you on this day :) Either that or rexmas pending on the amount of cars entered

Cool, will keep an eye out on both events and touch bases before committing to anything.

Just pulled out the sensor then, it was pretty stuck with the constant heat expansion/contraction. The probe sticks out a good 25-30mm and I don't think it's ever moved since installation (nor could I move it) so it's not the positioning. Also the gauge doesn't move anymore at all (no error light either) so somehow the sensor just decided to die now.

A genuine Defi replacement is like $250 so I reckon I'll try a cheapo eBay replacement next to see how long it lasts.

No.  Take it to IPA (Industrial Pyrometers Australia) or any equivalent place near you and say, "Please sir, make me one of these."  Will cost ~$50.  Will be proper.

Did exactly the opposite, ordered cheapie off ebay, butchered original sensor wire to get the connector, only to find out that the probe itself won't fit through the Defi bung in the first place lol

I was googling industrial pyrometers and a few companies came up, if you've used one in Melb before which one was it?

      M35 Brake caliper replacement

      By Duncan · Posted

      You can use your VIN to look up the factory part number somewhere like amayama, and then look to order new if necessary. https://www.amayama.com/en/genuine-catalogs/nissan Depending on price you might want to rebuild instead. @GTSBoy I had an interesting insight into US market parts when the Titan rear calipers were sticking. New calipers were dirt cheap, about 20% more than a rebuild kit....they are just considered throw away maintenance items

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

      By Duncan · Posted

      Lots of votes for driving onto a plank first; that is the quickest way I've found, 25mm is enough for my case but that will vary by car It also depends where you are going for. On the 32 I can get to the rear diff with my floor jack if I do that end first, and get it up on stands. Then I lift the front from either front tow hook as high as needed, also onto stands. Sometimes I need a small lift on the other tow hook to get it level enough If I do the front first I can't get to the rear diff because of the angle of the car Other options are getting to the front mount of the rear subframe from in front of the wheel (if only lifting one side, or just do both which is a bit of a pain compared to one lift from the diff), or also the gearbox cross member mount on the driver's side if you are  just trying to lift the driver's side. I This is the jack I use; it says 75mm clearance but of course that is only on the lower section so if you have to reach too far in like the diff you still get stuck. https://www.snapon-bluepoint.com.sg/category/Floor-Jacks/product/Floor-Jack,-2-Ton-Low-Profile

      Boost cut after swap(RB25DET NEO) R34

      By Kapr · Posted

      Ok so i will NEED to have this sensor anyway even with Nistune (or standalone ECU) https://justjap.com/products/genuine-nissan-boost-pressure-sensor-evap-control-system-fits-nissan-r34-skyline-c34-nm35-stagea-pnt30-x-trail-rb25det-vq25det-sr20vet?currency=AUD&srsltid=AfmBOoqfxX48bW9bEwH62orcNhtBfp7ekAL0C9Ca89ySFGUiBzXfXeze Is this the correct one? And this is only thing i need? No other "things" connected to the sensor or something? I do have the wiring.
