so, this was an interesting day

get my rego renewal for the patrol. tells me to ring them up as there's problems

ring them up

"oh, your car is defected"

"no its not"

"yes it is, 17th march it got done"

"riiiight........i got that cleared"

rang sturt. they punched it into the system and voila..........im still flagged as defected. Said i came in and got it cleared a few days after, but ive since (read: a month ago) ripped up the slip as i thought id never need it again. They just rang me (mid me typing this post) to tell me in the last 3 and a bit hours of checking the till receipts, they found my receipt and have put the defect thru as cleared in the system (finally)

what a lol

Thats why i always keep the defect forms in my glovebox, Its happend to me before aswell.

soooo ..... I bought my new car today :)

It is in the final stages of beig complied, and I will fly to Melbourne to pick it up in a couple of weeks.

Who is up for a road trip? Thining of flying to Melb late Sat 11th July returning Sun 12th July - stay overnight at sister-in-law's place/go out on the piss, then leave early Sunday morning for home.

Please don't ask what it is, and the few people that already know, please don't give it away :rofl:

Cool guys, will work out flights etc tomorrow. So can you 3 let me know if you are 100% up for it? I can 'pay' for you all via frequent flyer points if you each give me $80 (that's what the points equate to), else you could catch the red eye Saturday morning and book your own flight for $139 (cheapest fare) and spend the day in Melbourne before I fly in. Unfortunately the cheapest flights on my desired flight at 3:15pm ex-Adl are $200 :) - hence my offer to pay via Frequent Flyer points - or if you have your own feel free to do that too - 8,000 points. Think about it and let me know tomorrow 100%.

Not sure how many people I want to take .... but 4 of us might be a nice number for a bit of fun. If there is 4 though, we might have to get a hotel room .... but still we all would theoretically fit at my sister-in-laws. Will think harder about that.

Super excited about the car - it is the same colour, model and specs as the one I had discussed with a few of you, but is not the actual car I was looking at - it is a different car (obviously) from Melbourne. Much better car, for a much better deal.

I dunno about the details but I'd be happy to cruise up to the border at keith or mt gambier or whatever and meet up

Hmm, random, spur of the moment flight/road trip?

I'll see what I've got on that weekend :)

that JZX100 markII looks awesome man.

I almost bought on instead of my GTR - Was looking at them and the normal JZX100's. But imo they're still a big 4dr and I wanted something totally different in terms of driving style so thats what pushed me towards the GTR.

Few sexy jzx100's floating around fs

    • 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)
