Personally, I'd be going for an L16 and turbo, blowing through a decent sized carbie of some sort - 45mm Weber, Dellorto or SU, side-draught of course... :angry:

Ahhh, cable ties and gaffa/electrical tape - the drift/drag/circuit racer's and mechanic's best friend! :D

Seriously though, that is some heavy duty damage. ;) Mona, you should keep the parts and display them somehow for memories. Ahhh, the good times!

yeah.. i'm planning on keeping some bits and pieces! maybe melt it all down and make some jewellery :)

Ryan - it was a new tune.. and i'd rather not say tuner

ECR033 - will PM you those details! ;)

Duncan - was not even changing down gears when it happend... wasn't even into a corner... it was on the straight! came around the corner and into 4th.. saw a ping... backed off... then slowly accelerated again... to which her response was to ping like crazy.. now my car has ALWAYS pinged.. its been a never ending story of tuners and octane booster to get her running smoother.. i've always backed off and shes been fine. My biggest problem was i never had a hand controller so i didn't know how badly it was pinging.. i tried to get one, but apexi (for some crap reason) don't do backward compatible hand controllers... so i had nothing to go on

And PLEASE PEOPLE! I DO NOT ACCELERATE INTO THE REDLINE! SO STOP IMPLYING IT!

Thanks morgs! :) i can truely feel some of your pain now :(

Ben - no.. i am not fool enough to continue accelerating through pings :

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • 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)
