if it were 89 would it still be importable with the flared guards etc??

I don't see why not ;)

Troy, I meant stock external appearance. :)

Now where are those stock wheels...

And you will definitely get a ride when you're back home. But you have to bring me back a set of N1 headlights.

Charlie, haven't you already got a set of wheels, I remember seeing down at Steve's warehouse...course there is nothing wrong with getting another set SSR GT2 or Type C are the shitz at the moment over here.

that would be a standard bumper cut up with mesh behind it... tasefully done I must say.

Funky, this is actually a Veilside R3 kit and the rear bumper does look like that.

Troy, those are the wheels I was referring to! I can't seem to get any of my parts over here, so might just have them shipped over via air mail. Either that or fit them in a container.

I think the ad for the widebody GTR says something about the cost being 2 mil yen for the kit (?). I have a fascination with widebodies :)

(I'm talking about cars here. :P)

widebody...if they not about cars I don't want to know about it :P

yeah the GT2 are f**king nice, if you've spoken to Justin (Baggins) lately. He is also after some wheels, but can't decide after I showed him the GT2.

GT2 also weight no more than the Type C which you also know are the lightest wheels around...slightly lighter than both the TE37 and Buddy Club QFs. Also they being SSF-semi solid forging they can take the abuse of track work much better, they don't crack as easily as the TE37 when you hit a gutter.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      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.
