is there anyone down my way that could give me a dink to this SE meet up? I live in Sandy, which is like 10-15mins down the beach from Elwood, but would like to go on this little pre-cruise if at all possible.

I could bring the mighty Pulsar, but i fear i might show you guys up, all your cars will develop inferiority complexes :(

Hey if we are meeting in the Burvale Carpark, can we get into a punch on with somebody??? :)

OK it's shitty and old but I live close buy and I work across the road and it's my local.... sure a few people have been bashed to an inch off or even past life, but that was in the 80's early 90's (I'm sure you guys were not drinking at the Burv back then... if at all...ever??)

Sure it's still no Styl'n (pink polo required) establishment but it serves it's purpose (drinking beer and playing pool after work or even cheap counter meal) it hurts my feelings that so many people hate the Burv :) thats my pub god damn it!

Anyway... I will be there. :)

The Burv is shitty and old but the damn bitumen along Burwood Hwy is shitty and new! Don't know if anybody else has noticed it but parts of the new surface they've laid down as part of the tram works has already been torn up and there are heaps of areas where the road is bumpy, uneven and killing my tyres and susp (not to mention all the stones and rocks that are flicked up from ppls tyres). If they can't do something properly, then why bother :)

Anyway, the middle and right lanes (inbound and outbound) seem to be better from Kmart Burwood all the way down to the Knox rubbish depot.

Go the Burv!!!

      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.
