well the modifications have kinda begun... got myself a new front bar and put some different rims on.

Rims came with the car from Japan, but couldn't switch em until after rego.. not that VicRoads would know, but i thought i'd play by the book...

I think the different front bar is a vast improvement, considering i had a stock one as i sold my Nismo/Altia one to Dale ;)

what ya think? not 100% what to do from here with it....

On a little side note, i believe i am the only person in the entire country to have this front bar :dry:

yep, got my year 1 scissors out and chopped the lip off.

i want to lower it but the front bar has next to no clearance already! :P i need 18's or i need to be SUPER careful...

ylwgtr2 chopped the lip for me... i thought it could be done, so i gave the job to him knowing he could do it ;) which he did :dry: - yeah, whole car is up for a respray... but i don't know if i have the funds really, going to Africa in 2 weeks for a bit over a month...

Front bar is an exact GTR replica, made by East Bear (plastic injected moulded, not Fibreglass) and made to fit straight to the narrower GTT guards...

yeah, troy did mention i should make a copy of the bar... in case of breakage... no cheap ass copies of this around, so would have to get it sent direct from japan... $$$$$$$$$$ -

yeah, unfortunately i think 18's are the only way to solve the height problem...

yes, the bar isn't your $300 unpainted fibreglass dodge copy - i'll just say $1k+, not the sort of thing i want to be destroying any time soon...

hey dan, i'm not sure it troy(ylwgtr2) would want to do this again! you'd have to find someone up ur way how could chop, weld, make it look nice... oh, you need a GTR bracket/support bar thingy too... i'm currently borrowing Troy's ;)

what u reckon i could get for the rims? genunine Advan Model 5's, nice and light... Advan Neova tyres.. 235/255 front/back

EDIT: satanic: yeah pictures are shite... late afternoon, when i install the CS2 suite i have lying around somewhere, i'll try a fix it... you're right, can't quite see all the lines/curves, etc...

ok ok, my photograhy skills suck, i know i know ;) - thaka mate, some help!? :dry:

look at Dezz's avatar...

the bonnet is now the same as a GTR bonnet, the front bar is the same as a GTR front bar... the 2 together..... :P you get the idea..

man, don't make me put a GTR badge in the grille! :yes:

    • 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)
