just got an email from Autoworx stating that Alistair (known as arkon on these forums but has since changed it to something else :worship:) is know the new owner of Autoworx Imports on Wangara, which is known for importing fine examples of skylines and many more imports.

Congratulations Alistair, you have 7 years of big shoes to fill but i know your up to it :)

When I was first looking to get an R33 I went to autoworx with it not being far from home, and although I decided to import a car instead, from just from speaking to him about them he set me right on getting one. Might have to pop in next week to wish him luck

yeh ill be popping in aswell to wish him luck,

my dad was skeptical about buying anything that was an import, he talked to paul for 5 mins before coming to get me to choose 1 of 2 silver series 2's lol

my dad wanted to buy an auto for me but Pauls kind words showed him that a manual would have been better (which i agree with :thumbsup:)

any time i go there paul will answer any question i have about my car even if that meant missing out on his lunch

Bought my SII Sedan at autoworx. Paul was a good guy to deal with, kept the shop open for me after hours to come in, as i flew down from Broome that day. Hope you keep up the good service and rep.

Yeah and start complying 1998 JZX100s, and i might buy my next car from Autoworx :thumbsup:

good luck

Quote Paul:

"Why on Earth would you want to keep that piece of shit civic... I mean really mate..."

Said it to my friend.... All class..

It is official, Alistair's old Ceffy was 100x better than my mate's civic...

oi, cheers for the R34 manual Alistair! Good luck aye! I'll have to pop around to pass my gratitude and best wishes on to Paul...

Edited by Marco-R34GTT

bought a r33 turbo 5spd sedan through Paul in '05, definately one of the best in the business.

All the best to the new owner, and if the car bug gets me again, and I want a 33 GTR, I will be back to see Autoworx.

    • 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)
