What the fark?

First I have to demand that the Police actually show up and now they want to "wash their hands" of it? I would go to the station and lodge an official complaint, short of that get a letter from a lawyer and start preparing to take AKTUNG to the cleaners.

OMFG! I have not been on these forums for a few weeks and I return to this very bad news. Dave it is so sad to see your labour of love ruined!

Once again certain factions of the police force have shown contempt for the young public.

My opinion is, If you have witnesses that were not in your car, I would collect statements from each of them and gather all your photographic evidence. Including a rough diagram of the road and each cars position, then take your theory and a complaint to the ombudsman. With the evidence of how your car was damaged it should prove without a doubt that your are not at fault and the police are negligently brushing you off. Thats what I think anyway.

If AKTUNG knows he is in the wrong he is the lowest person I know of.

Good luck Dave!

I'm happy to go to the scene and take some pics giving an idea of where your car came to rest in relation to where the set of lights are etc. (giving an indication as to the amount of momentum he had). Didn't see the impact itself but was there on the night and live close by so this is no hassle for me. Let me know. In retrospect, we probably should have done so on the night.

    • 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)
