Hehe - maybe. But from the little I know about the car and it's future intensions it's a "go in a straight line" project. And from what I hear it's planned to be a monster. I'm looking forwards to seeing the project finished.

So in another twisty competition it still may get owned no matter what is done to it. Especially if like the last time it tries to do circuit work on Nitto's LOL.

Chances are if the last DVD was a 1/4 mile comp I would have finished 3rd - not 1st anyways. So it's horses for coarses. I was actually a little suprised with the cars that turned out truth to be told. It was a track challenge and other than my car the Hypertech S15 was the only other car actually set-up for track. The others were either drag or drift cars.

I have been talking to Simon about Serious Performance 9 DVD and doing a top speed challenge. In that the Silver GTR would probably own me - but I think the Ice Supra would have us both. LOL

No way man! You can *accidentally* install Troy's carbon bonnet on my thing if you want to :)

      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 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      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.
