Yeah sorted, thanks...jb33 came to our rescue.

We made it through our first targa day in 1 piece, w00t! Car was very taily especially in the wet with all the tight corners, it is much tailier than it is on a racetrack. Great fun though, should be some good pics :)

But we still have a missfire that is shitting me, changed the plugs and ignitors (did the coils and afms yesterday), hopefully it is sorted now.

yeah I just got the call a few mins ago, but didn't want to post anything. thought I would leave it up to duncan, but it's out there anyway I guess.

sad news indeed. but very pleased they are both ok, so they can come back and tell us all about it over a beer. :D

Not sure what happend, i'm just managing the team and built the car, as i was unable to drive or navigate due to personal issues (WIFE)

So Today i had to be in hobart, recived a text 10 minuts after it happend, got on the UHF to the CROW, the stage official, and no good, can't get trough, phones off, service crew is there, waiting for a report back.

JAS-25T here posting for Team Raceworx including Neil

We will be getting the car back out tomorrow - already sourced parts and a champion of a bloke that is lending us his garage to work on.

We didnt come all this way to retire already.

if it takes all night to fix - so be it.

:P

    • 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)
