now they just need to start racing it here

someone please explain why there are no horses in the field...?

ok so far i have found out that there was an Australian Team entered in the 24HR race with their 430C, However due to continual mechanical drama's the car was pulled out back in Feb. The cars are still running with experimental cooling, braking and tyre packages for now until they can get a good consistent reliable car. Look out for them next year as they are eager to get over there. The team was also entered in the Dayton 24hr and pulled the pin on that as well.

How ever knowing Johns driving technique i seriously doubt the car would last a lap around there.

Will talk to my mates and find out why there was a lack of Ferraris from teh European teams. may have something to do with Le Mans this weekend. The 430GT2 well and truly capable of beating the 997RSR as shown in all FIA / ALMS races this year.

    • 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)
