No dude, you'll have to braze or solder it. Damn, my welding books are all out on loan or I'd be able to give you some info

I was guna solder it originally seeing as its such a small job but didnt know if it would bond to together, so thats why i thought about welding it instead. So i could solder it instead could i?

as the other guys have said brazing is the best. you can tig weld brass but i dont think you will have great success tiging it to mild steel. what are you trying to joint together, i mean what are the parts, is it like a vacuum line nipple to intercooler piping or something?

Exactly that

why dont you go and get youself a threaded female nipple in mild steel and weld that to the pipe, then get you brass vacuum line fitting (if it has a male threaded end on it) and screw it into that? or just get a steel vacuum fitting.

cha-ching!

very good advice

Brazing always looks not so great , but would work.

even if you cant find a mild steel thread in NPT like your fitting you should be able to find stainless which will TIG to mild

    • Howdy all,   I had my rb25det S2 rebuilt and finally started it today but have run into a few issues  Engine sounds like a a diesel easiest way to summarise like small ticking, gets louder when revs are slightly adjusted  The engine builder repainted the engine cover leaving no where for me to go off with lining up the CAS so have it as central as possible so not sure it that could be affecting it?, changed the gearbox fluid too but won’t seem to go into gear when running, and only 1 to 4 when off having a hard time finding 5th and reverse anyone got any ideas or a base for me to start off? much appreciated 
    • Well, no. It's an 023, which is pretty similar to an 040. Although it is hard to tell from the specs, as given.
    • Hmm. Maybe the (other thing I forgot about!) Haltech removes at least some, if not all, of the problem I described. I guess there is still the possibility of getting it wrong if the AC is set up/wired up for the Haltech as if it was in an R34 (simply because it's on a Neo), and that's playing foul with the R32 AC computer.
