Thread is win.

I can definitely relate to at least %90 of the posts...

You know you drive a skyline when...

-Spending double, triple, or even more than the cars value on mods is reasonable to you.

-You get confused when people get dramatic about you telling them the above figure.

-Yellow speed signs are half the speed you should use through the corner, comfortably.

-The only Skyline left in your Skyline is the shell, badges, lights and block.

...When you get home only to discover your wife has had enough of nagging you to move the exhaust, FMIC and spare petrol tank out off the spare room and lugged them up to the attic herself (the petrol tank would have been a huge pain in the ass)

...When you buy a set of stock R32 gtst wheels off eBay cause the tires on the 17" are bald and it will make you a profit to just sell the wheels on instead of buying new tires

When you spend upto $150 on second hand skyline floor mats cause your didn't come with any and your wife says "you could have bought black ones from supercrapauto for $10" and you say "but these ones say SKYLINE on them"

When you park it somewhere and turn your head and admire numerous times whilst walking away from it..+1

some more...

When you stop caring about the cost of petrol.

When you no longer know the meaning of fuel economy.

When someone has repeated the words "OMG I just jizzed" in your car

You research where the nearest undercover carparks are along a cruise route just incase of rain/hail.

You cant get your car DVDplayer/stereo/radio to work because its in japanese and you dont care.

You no longer crinch at the thought of wiping runny bird poo off your car with your bear hands. (only done this once)

you need to see a chiropractor to fix your back from driving your line too much. (stiff suspension)

When visiting your olds and your oldman automatically parks his brand spanking new commaboat on the street so your 11 year old car can have the garage. Thanks dad!!! :cheers:

And finally, When your driving and you get to the end of a twisty road and turn around so you can do it all again.

    • Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.
    • Nice....looking forward to that update
    • Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
    • Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!
    • Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
