Hey guys i just got my dream car last week. Its a 91 nissan skyline gtst type m. Ive beem saving for over 8 years to get this car and im so excited i finally have it. Im looking forward to many years with it. 

Unfortunately today i filled up my gas tank with 91 octaine ethenol free gas for the 3rd time since ive owned it and after i left the gas staion everytime i come to a stop at a light or intersection my car will idle out and die. I can start it right back up but the ilde is way low like 300 to 400rpm.

Can anyone help? 

Im not sure if this is the right place to post this question. Feel free to tell me and i will move it to the correct place.

You in the US?  You need 93 octane for a start, otherwise it will ping, especially in hot weather.  But this should not cause it to stall.  They will run (idle) very happily on any normal fuel.

You need to look to the functioning and state of cleanliness of the idle control valve.  There are about 40099922774774661191919 threads on here about exactly the same problem.

Turbo cars generally need high octane fuel to avoid what is called "pinging" as a slang term for detonation or pre-ignition, which is very damaging to everything facing the combustion event.  Your 93 MON in the US is about the same as our 98 RON here in Oz.  The cars were designed/tuned to run on 100 RON in Japan.  Using lower octane fuel is a recipe for unhappiness.

When I suggested looking at existing threads, I meant, use google to search for your problem symptoms, and point google at this site.  You will be surprised what you can find.  Read, read, read.  Do not expect to get the answer handed to you in the first 2 minutes, because internet diagnose is fraught with wrongness.  We can give you suggestions as to what could be wrong, but it almost always turns out to be something different (and usually stupid).

      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 BSP male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSP reducing bush?

      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.
