haha, that's great.

When I worked at Adelaide Engine we used to sell second hand Scania & Volvo pistions for $20 as they made great ashtrays (ie. the combustion chamber is built into the top of the piston).

SLED, spoke to a good friend of mine tonight who is a tech at toyota, There is a recall on the 200. The vaccumm pump accumulator valve opens far too much causing the motor to burn excessive oil...This can be fixed with a simple flash of the ecm. Toyota do it on warrentee, Also if you get a spungy brake pedal it's because the Diaphram in the master cylinder has a slit in it rather than a hole..hard to explain over the net. But Minor things and will be fixed for free.

So many lines up for grabs these days! Infact, even I'm barely keeping hold of the GTR. Still up in the air about if I'll sell it, or keep it...

If my $ improves, then I'll keep it for another year!

haha im in the exact same sittuation, gotta figure out what i wanna do before the years insurance is up. very very tempted to go down the chaser route

^ i know you guys are confused now so im going to pretend you didnt just say that :(

godzilla can not be replaced by some sort of "chaser" possible meaning to the name lagging behind :D

and pete keep your damn hands off mine :( and if you mod a vspec 2 32 there will be some gheto like behaviour out of me

ah, thanks for the heads up.........I'll print this out and point these things out when I get the service done :(

but seriously mang, your money, your choice, no point the whole of SAU telling u to get volks, and you wishing for the rest of your rim ownership that u got gtr's... maybe you can get gtr and spend 600 on brakes? id go gtr and rotor upgrade over the 37's.

    • Totally equivalent. Stock often goes from the comp cover because that's where the actuator is also installed and the factory needs 2" of hose to make the connection - and it comes as a pre-assembled unit. They totally have a boost reference from somewhere between the turbo and the throttle(s). Oh, jeez. Just do it in M12 then. We don't actually care that much. I would expect any such AN converter fitting to rely on an o-ring or some other seal onto a flat surface under the flange of the hex**, because bolt threads are no intended to provide a pressure seal. unlike..... pipe threads. **which also requires a suitably flat and smooth surface on the turbo's boss to provide the seal.
    • I also used NP   That’s were it’s seems to be the best place to fit it? All schematic shows also that it’s should be referenced from the turbo housing. But idk, I do see high hp cars without any connection or anything to their turbos, so I really don’t know how they connect their things
    • I do have loctite 243 and 246 and a few more models. I could drill it now in place and make new threads for m12 and order an4 - m12 coupling and fit that to the turbo. Run a braided hose to the EBC which I could get a an4 to 1/8npt 
    • So M12 and sealant should be fine?    NPT ” because that’s what I had and what I could get atm. 
    • Wouldn’t touch par if they gave it to me. You need to ask how much power you’re looking to make and then add about 50% to it because that’s what you’ll end up making  The factory box says no more at about 350kw or so, the upgraded synchro boxes won’t handle much over 500kw for long and at that point you’re looking at an auto or dog engagement manual,  once you’ve gone dog engagement you may as well go sequential, they cost a little bit more but it’s worth it  also while you’re at it you should upgrade the transfer case with 10 friction plates
