And VSI 9 - Wheels and Tyres. (For interest)

http://www.rta.nsw.gov.au/registration/dow.../vsi09_rev4.pdf

NB - VSI 9 contains an age old problem and that is of tyre 'speed rating'. Now, the ADR on the matter virtually stipulates for new market vehicles that a car must be fitted with tyres bearing a speed rating that are equal too, or exceed the vehicles maximum top speed performance, Fair enough. However, here VSI 09 (also used around AUS jurisdications under NVS) for post ADR effect, allows tyres to be fitted that are speed rated LESS than the cars top speed maximum, something NT is not pleased with, and nor should they be.

Arrived at because 'the maximum speed limit is just 110km/h', for politically correct reasoning you see, but has serious potential trouble for NT when such equipped vehicles visit NT. Very dumbed down and arguably most negligent.

    • lol the 2nd one boss, thank you for pointing this out. I feel as i spend more time here this intro message is some thing i will always make me laugh and shake my head at. Perfect Intro:  I have the vehicle  
    • 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?
