I dono why'd you give up the a31 front end though... maybe for a 180 front..

There was a s14 fronted cef posted up in this section some time ago now and I think most people didn't like it. I reckon it could be ok but if anyone finds photos please post front and back and side if possible.. It's pointless seeing a s15 fronted cef when it just looks like a s15 from the front :)

hahaha that laufiro is about as NZ as they come, matt black paint, workshopX frontbar

call me the biggest playahater ever but the front fender doesn't link up to the rest of the panel work properly ie: the "a" pillar

not usually a big concern but this could cause rust if not sealed properly when rain leaks through those cracks, laurel and cefiro fenders are notorious for rust apparatnly

you mean like an N13 pulsar front bolted onto a brandnew nissan pathfinder?

or or what about an 80's CA nissan EXA bolted onto a le man's nissan R390 race car?

the possiblities are endless... simply endless...

They all sound good to me, but why not swap it around, bolt a Pathfinder front to a N13 pulsar? :)

Anything R34 is pretty horn IMHO, I want a R34 kit for my R32 like this one at Garage-13:

Click for full-size

But since it's "from $4490" kinda hard to justify on a car not worth much more than double that, factor in re-spray and i think it'd only be worth it on a R32 GTR.

But i can dream. *sigh*

roflmao garage-13's R324

its made by Bee-R and I think that's garage-13's pipedream for suckering someone into buying the original so they can copy it.

and the R34 on R33 unit they sell is a URAS one.

    • ..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.
    • Ahh. Well the block damage is a problem, you really need to run a tap or thread chaser through it to see if the threads can be saved, but any chips are likely to be bottom end bound which is bad. Earls seem to have what you need if you want to stick with mounting direct on the block: https://rceperformance.com.au/parts/earls-straight-adapter-1-8-npt-male-to-1-8-bspt-female.html, but as I said above I'd recommend remote mounting the sender
    • I'm not quite understanding or I'm missing steps here, (I appreciate people are trying to inform my brain but I am of the dumb, especially today) - All I want to do is mount the male BSPT of the OEM sender into the system somewhere without it snapping the adapter via vibration. The Nissan sender has a male 1/8 BSPT output. The block has a (very destroyed) 1/8 NPT input. I'm not really sure how a lathe assists with that, and also don't know anybody with a lathe, nor specifically what I would want to buy. I'm not really sure how adding additional adapters creates a better, more leak proof resilient seal here.
