OK, I'm heading down to the Texikhana on Saturday, and I'd like to know who's planned what as far as meeting points and times are concerned.

There is a Hungry Jacks (Burger King, or whatever), Caltex and Red Rooster in the one complex just at the beginning of Abbott Road as you come off the M2. I live right near the end of the M2 in Seven Hills, and I figure that this spot would be a good meeting point for those coming from the North Shore and Central Coast, as well as those living in and around the Hills area.

So:

  • Who is coming this way?
  • Who has a toll tag of some description?
  • Who wants to use the Cumberland Highway, and meet at Krispy Kremes or the big Bunnings in Casula?
  • Who would prefer instead to use the M7? It cuts an easy 30mins off your travel time as opposed to using the Cumberland Highway.
  • What time shall we meet?
  • Who is driving solo in their cars (like me)?

Chubbs? TJ? Wayne and Kasey? Jase? Anna? Jess? Greg (v_s_p_e_c)? James (lingeringsoul)? Jen and Nige?

Please bring hand-held CB radios for road trip fun!

Ewwww, early morning wake-up? No thanks!

I'm with you guys then! Do you all have E-tags or similar?

*big Bunnings in Casula @11am for a few of us allready.i live 5 mins from here.some are said to be travelling from the coast.so i guess you could meet up with those peeps somewhere allong the line.and meet up with the rest of us at bunnings.

*im driving solo in the car like u.

Yeah bud we have an e-tag. I would pref the M7 personally but i dont care really. Whatever is easiest for everyone. If someone doesnt have an E-tag and we go another way, so be it.

A trip without dramas is a good trip.

Sounds like maybe 2 waves?

One at 11 at Casula Bunnings as already planned and another sometime in the afternoon (time to be agreed). Those coming down the M7 will find Bunning an easy stop to pick up Sydneysiders who want to tag along.

11am shift here guys n gals :)

the mrs and I are in mine

Ando and TJ - as you guys are from similar area - what way you guys gonna head?

I am actually picking my mate up from Cherrybrook in the morning so maybe meet you somewhere around hills/hornsby before hand as i have NFI where this Bunnings is!!!

Drop me a PM or call me bish :worship:

    • 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)
