I wish! Don't know whether to go for a FMIC first or suspension. All too hard cause I don't want to cut reo and cop a defect either!!!

I got to go speak to a suspension expert about lowering my car because I definitely don't want a harsh ride, being a daily driver. If I can get it 25-30mm lower with spring rates very similar to what they are now and of course correct camber I'll be happy.... don't really think it needs to be any lower than that.

do what i did. do it all in one hit. lol.

ill take you for a quick spin in the s14 some time, its firm, but it isnt harsh. and thats with my unpadded fibreglass seat. lol.

or you can go and spend big on bilstein gear, which going from nightcrawlers gear, is actually harsher than my coilovers.

A good puncture repairer can drill and glue a plug in there

yeah, ill see what tyrepower can do when i get it aligned on saturday.

test fitted the rims last night at grand auto....bolt straight on..rears need spacers to bring them out to the guard....they are APEC

Link didnt work for me Damo????

With the summer weather coming up steve i would be looking into a FMIC....i remember the days when i drove my 33 in the summer with the side mount and compare that to the same weather with a FMIC its unreal....FMIC does such a good job

I'll have to do it bit by bit so I can still drive it to work! We'll have to organise to go on another cruise up the hills.

Krishy, I know what you're saying as I drove it last summer. Starts to behave like a slug.... :D

Yeah my car runs the stock SMIC, last summer one afternoon when I was driving to work and my car said it was 45 degrees, I went to overtake someone on a fast road after they turned off, my RB20 felt more like a RB10. Thats without A/C on because it doesnt work lol. So needless to say, a FMIC is on my list - along with heap of other stuff.

im looking at hookin up a small electric water pump to my washer bottle with some little garden water sprayers between the cooler and the rad for some extra coolness when it all gets a little warm.

dave-o, Jenkies just ran his window washers to the fmic, so when you pull back on the stalk to squirt water, your spraying yo cooler not yo window!

That's cool (no pun intended)! Then in winter you can plug them back into the bonnet squirters :P

or re route them to the back wheels and join ragerz :P

damn you got to it before me.....i was thinking why not just tap into the hose that runs from the washer bottle to the jets.....that way spray the cooler and clean your window at the same time

cos when your cranking at 160 k's down the back straight at lala, the last thing you need is a front window full of water and your wipers going all frog in a blender

true true that.....Dave when you do this thingo let me know what is needing to be done

Where can you buy hobbs switches??

Im working out with our electrician how to do intercooler water spray kit and i beleive all i've got left to get is hobbs switch and reservoir/pump which is the easiest bit

true true that.....Dave when you do this thingo let me know what is needing to be done

Easy man, go down to bunnings and grab some spray nozzles from the garden section, then run your existing water hoses and cable tie them (so the nozzles spray in the right direction) underneath or on top of your cooler.

I dont actually have a washer reservoir :P FMIC piping took priority, gotta get the mrs brother to fab one up for me.

    • 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)
