I was at Nismo for a business meeting today and forgot to ask info on the Nismo festival. To tell you the truth I don't think they will have anything special to show? I mean all of what Nissan has, has been shown before in past years. Maybe they will get a parade race with the most famous Nissan/Nismo cars with a good driver lineup but thats about it I think. Unless they will parade around in the production version of the new GT-R:D...but I seriously doubt that!:P

Troy/Justin - still unsure at this moment whether I can make it across your way for the NISMO Fest. You're still planning on going, right? Mind if I ask - you got any spare car parking at your place? Perhaps it would be easiest for me to drive to you, then we all take the train to the circuit? How did you guys get there last year?

i was thinking about renting a van here, since once you rent them the toll is free. they give you toll passes, and i think its only about 70 dollars a day, about 8,000 yen. shinkansen is still pretty expensive for us low pay military folks, hehehe.i dunno though, i'll try to bring it up the next time me and my friends meet up.

      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.
