Hey guys! I havent posted for about 12 months I reakon.

Just thought i would start posting again as I just bought a new R32 GTR.

If you see a gunmetal grey GTR with a veilside front bar cruisin around Qbn and belconnen its probably me.

See ya's all soon.

Welcome aboard, A!

I met you at the Tsunami cruise, I'm sure- it was a mate & I that organised and ran it! Learn to love and respect your GT-R, and she'll be good to you! Agreed with those that said PM _8005TED_ re insurance - top fella!

:D I picked up the car!

I LOVE IT!

Oh my god, so much power.... car puffs & breathes like it's alive. I LOVE IT.

Is racing fuel inlet standard? You just stick the pump in the hole, no unscrewing lids. I spent 30 seconds trying to unscrew the thing at the patrol station. :)

$100 for a fill up... ouch.

I don't even know what else it's got. It's got few big hoses that other GTRs didn't have.

I'll post some pix.

Turbo timer hidden somewhere.

Crisp exhaust tune...

Good to hear mate. :D

Lol NOOOOOPE - does it have an 'unleaded fuel only' sticker? if not, that's a defect.

Maybe larger tank? I'm usually $70.

Post pix!

Everytime i come home, it stinks the whole house. I have a 1 year old daughter who'll be smelling this. I am very concerned her health and mine too. I keep the garage door open, turn on fans to blow air out....

I got criticised badly from the family, especially from my wife, for me being selfish and buying a sports car. I always had sports cars, I was hoping that she would understand, but this one is a bit over the top.

So my options are....

1. Get rid of the pool table in the garage, buy a cheap reliable small car - drive that around town instead.

2. Sell the Skyline.

I'm exercising both options at the moment.

I'm looking for a small car (like Excel or Daihatsu), as well as putting the ads for Skyline.

I got in trouble from my missus from doing my manual conversion on my stagea. It's all done now, so she can start to calm down but there's so much more I need to do to the car. We just had a child, so I think the stagea is going to take a backseat to any spending in the family. Sometimes you just have to make sacrifices for the family.

However, her car is a turbo corolla, so she can't get angry at me for having a sports car, just spending too much money on it.

    • 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)
