Nissan heritage parts programme

Not sure if there's any weight behind this article but Nissan will apparently be re-commencing production of performance parts for past models

Over the past few years I've noticed from my own experience that getting your hands on performance parts for a GTR particularly anything nismo has become a rarity so good news if this is legit. Expect some crazy prices for parts though

And this would have nothing to do with the 25 year rule in the USA and Nissan wanting to cash in on this new market.

Factory parts plus GTR tax plus Nismo tax equals great profit margin for Nissan.

Legitimately what are gonna be your options once(if) this goes live? Pricey as they are they might still manage to undercut the rare unique parts by even a little bit. Plus OE will ensure that the remaining Skylines that haven't been tracked, drifted or riced stay in as close to mint condition as possible. Also the option to convert a modified vehicle you buy from someone else back to stock anyone?? If they are above your budget, you probably aren't the right person to be owning a 20 year old car, and a Skyline to boot. Obviously value is different to certain people, if you intend to prep your car for the track you might go with cheaper options while someone who intends to keep their Skyline as a more show style car will pay top dollar.

It will at least regulate the used parts market.

some of the crazy drug money prices will need to be justified, and even if its pricey, brand new genuine gear is excellent news for us, not having relying on 25 year old integral parts.

Exactly!!! Hopefully this means an end to $600 nismo keys lol

      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.
