Hey Bris,

Since you seem to know so much baout this car - how does it stack up against say Benno's or Sams?

BTW - Russ - you know about the Nov NSW excursion right? John (UAS) said he spoke to you about it and it would be awesome if you guys can make it down too.

I don tknow that much at all about the car. Liek i said only what i have seen in adverts here and there and years ago when the owner was talking about it on SDU. So dont really know how it compares to Sam or Ben's car.

Though i suspect it would be more Sams car then Bens, because of the weight of the thing...but really who knows?????

I KNOW its quicker then my car :wave:

oh and its faster than mine too! it doesnt go at all at the moment!! ;)

Neither does mine...first my car looked like this...

Then i hit something on the track...

Then a lap later the gods caught up with me when that damn cat told them who did it...

Which up close looked like this...

But JAG33 came dot my rescue...

So after fixing it i thrashed it around for while, was within a second of Snowman around Sandown the one session we did together...then parked it for a paint job which is about done.

I repeat, for the record...Sandown Sprint Session Three. The only time we have been in a Super Sprint together.

Lap 1

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:31.0100

Roy - 1:31.8900

Just warming up.

Lap 2

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:25.8500

Roy - 1:25.5800

Would have gone quicker but 1600kgs of steaming blue sh1t was blocking the track in front of me.

Lap 3

Bobo the Snowclown - 1:23.8200

Roy - Spun at Turn 4, but my Data Logger had me 0.4sec quicker then my best to that corner. I only spun because of the road block's corner speed was so slow that i almost t-boned it mid corner :D

How much power does your car have Bobo? How many times have you driven around Sandown Bobo? ... that was about my 10-11th lap in the dry.... :(

I would stop putting sh1t on my car as the fact that you are not really that much quicker then me in my POS, suggests something about someones ability to drive his finger up a dogs ass :mad:

Perhaps Bobos car is has never recovered from its stage fright either. I should mention my car isnt as pretty as yours either so dont have so many ppl willign to help push it

LOL... i miss all the smack talk on the Autosport site :laugh: Ive got nothing except personal attacks on a bloke who drivers circles around me :O

The top few inches of the guards and doors are painted gunmetal grey to match the stock colour of my car so you could either veeery carefully sand it back or paint the same section to match your car.

Just weighed them, bonnet is about 7kg (stock gtr ~10kg?), doors 17kg ea (stock ~30kg) and guards 1.2kg ea (stock gtr ~2.Xkg). That's with all electrics, hinges, handle, window, motors, speaker etc so i imagine you'd knock off a fair bit with an acrylic window.

you have pm neil

Fire started when the heater hose into the firewall split and sprayed a mist of glycol ethanol over the glowing red exhaust housing/manifold...the stuff is flammable when in a 5% mist with atmosphere, and is preheated above 90 deg C. LOL a few things had to happen for it to ignite, if it happened a lap earlier or on the street it would have been just a coolant leak. It just happens the split was fine and the coolant temp was about 94 when it split.

I now run sheathing on the line to protect it from the heat

Ill ask what the PM is probaby about ;) How much do you want for the doors?

    • Possibly avoid using a Cometic one unless the deck/head surface are perfectly flat. I did have a look just then and forgiving gaskets such as Tomei or Nitto don't exist for the FJ20, however the Bar-Tek or Kameari ones look good and might do the trick.
    • Because pipe threads for pipe things. M threads for bolt things. Throw some teflon sealant onto it and dust your hands off knowing you did the right thing, instead of going twice around the block to achieve a result using the wrong things. Of course, all of these solutions are ignoring the fact that the minimum thread pitch we're talking about here is 1.25mm, with the 1/4" in NPT or BPS being out around 1.4mm. You will need to know that the boss you're tapping has enough thickness for at least a few threads. That's one of the reasons that 1/8" is commonly used - because the pitch is <1mm. And why would you look to use 1/4" NPT in a BSP country anyway? Ugh.
    • Just throwing around ideas, does it need to be in the compressor cover? Why not the hot side piping?
    • 1/8NPT drill size = 8.7mm. Since the hole got messed up by me, it’s probably around 9mm.    So 1/4” NPT would be next step. A drill size of around 11mm would be preferred there which is not way of my M12 (drill 10.5mm and tap M12 threads)
