    Even Phillips screws here are now mostly a hybrid that allow Robertson to also fit into it. They have accepted defeat haha. @GTSTBOY

    Robertson was a Canadian inventor, and it absolutely reigns supreme here. 95% of our screws are Roberston. It's literally the only option you can buy off store shelves. What would it have lost out too? I believe it's also very popular in the US. My reference to imperial was pointed to both NPT and BSP.

    I live in Quebec. Our license plate slogan is "Je me souviens" Translated is "We will remember" as a reminder to when England conquered us and that we must never forget what they did. Long story short, BSP is unheard of here due to being an English design. I'm surprised our nazi anti english government office the OQLF hasn't kicked in my door yet just talking about it, yet alone imperial anything.

    Any local hydraulic supply store should have them. If in a pinch, you could also save your old copper washers by annealing them.

    Your best and only option is to verify your CAS is reading properly with an oscilloscope (I'm presuming the V2's had a built in one) and then properly sync your ignition and mechanical timing using your offset angle within the ecu. I don't understand why you flipped your CAS.

    No M12 and sealant will not be fine. Use NPT like everyone including GTSBoy keeps saying.

    I'm surprised to hear that, but then again, I haven't dealt with a low mount turbo in years. I'm presuming it's a space restriction issue. Cheers!

    You just need to remove the compressor housing, not the entire turbo. I would not be drilling and tapping anything with the housing still on anyways.

    If your head gasket lifted, you should have seen a coolant pressure spike. There's no need for a copper gasket/fire rings at 30psi. An MLS with perfectly clean/flat mating surfaces should suffice.

    My Nismo 1.5 churps a bit on reverse turns when cold, but besides that feels like a stock diff.

    Wife and I are still looking for a new home. One condition was a large enough garage for a full-size lift in one bay. Now if only we could find something... We've been looking for almost a year now.

    Thanks everyone for the ideas! Sadly, ramps are a no go for me. With young kids at home, I do most of my work late at night while they're sleeping. Starting the car multiple times wouldn't be a great idea. I'll go see one of those new long reach low profile jacks and take a couple measurements to see if they will fit.
  13. TurboTapin
    For these last 7 years of ownership, I've always had to use a small scissor jack under one of the front tow hooks to raise the front just enough so my low-profile jack fits under to reach my subframe jack point. I'm beginning to get annoyed of always having to do this. Are there any lower low-profile jacks that fit under the gtr lip on a dropped car?

    What a time to be alive!!

    I second this.
