Yes, I want to have a stock looking engine bay so want to use Stock Fuel Regulator and Stock Fuel Rail

Yes, safety precautions is what I have in mind. And I am running Haltech Platinum PnP so it will be helpful when doing dynos and logs.

All I am concerned is if I use this adaptor location would it still be a good reading for safety precautions and monitor health of fuel pump ...etc

FAIL the fuel pressure sensor adapter for 350z fuel rail, doesnt fit on the the stock RB26 fuel rail. The adapter is a bit wider than the fuel rail.

So now back to the drawing board. Any suggestion in how to secure the sensor T adapter off the fuel line between fuel filter and the fuel regulator?

Yeah, look for a barbed T piece block with a 1/8" (or whatever the sensor's thread actually is) female on the block and the hose barbs on the straight through. There would have to be a thousand different things that could be put together out of more than one fitting, or at least several options that are all-in-one, from pneumatics and hydraulics suppliers, speed shops, etc etc.

Then install it into the fuel line just after the fuel filter and before the rail.

Still think this is the best way to do it.

Remember you're not actually making any calculations based off of the reading, just looking at the reading to stop the show if there are any drastic changes in it, so really anywhere between filter and reg is going to do that job.

Friend just put a bronze tee on his line from filter to rail, then ran a line the 10cn or so to the sensor mounted on the strut tower.
Pressure will transmit fine. At the end of the day it's only going to be an indicator anyway. Pressure doesn't always colloratre with flow.

      Does that price include the rack time to straighten the frame and body and replacement of parts and paint, as well as the noise and emmisions testing  The last engineering certificate I had done, albeit about 15 years ago, was around $1000 for a few inspections and the certificate

      Geez, engineers fees have definitely gone up. Mine back 2007 cost me all of $300. Mind you, I had to go back to him a few times to get him to write the correct things on the report after he'd inspected it. Things like wrong exhaust size, wrong wheel sizes, etc etc.

      Can we see a scan of the original quote? The problem with engineers (and by this, I mean, all engineers across all engineering industries) is that there are "engineers" and there are "engineers" (you'll have to imagine the two different vocal emphases on those two versions of the same word. Engineering is a mindset - your farm kid who spent his life rebuilding the tractor will likely make a good engineer. The farm kid who spent his life taking photos of butterflies.. perhaps not. But on top of that mindset, the modern engineer has to learn how to write so that there is absolutely no way of being misunderstood. Proposals/budget estimates/quotations are one place where this is absolutely vital. You have to delineate your scope of supply with extremely hard boundaries, and anywhere where there is any possibility of not being able to have such a hard boundary, you need to write language that will cover you from scope creep, cost overruns, the inevitable interference of the client or their "engineer", etc etc. Now, if your clients are the BHPs and the Rio Tintos of the world, and similar, then you get good at this. If you are an automotive engineer, pitching work to the great unwashed masses, your skills in this area might not be well developed, because you're only dealing with knuckle draggers trying to get a big block legal in a Torana. And when I say "might not"....I'd suggest there's a better than even chance that any such skills might be completely absent. So, we might be able to look at your quote and see what the opportunities are for rebuttal.
