That's my bet....nissan's gtr engineers and marketing people are watching this forum

they love every time we repost a pic or video

they love when we discuss the lap times.

sau is one of the biggest/most influential skyline forums in the world and I bet the guys are watching.

so.....if you are a nissan engineer, post in this thread. What do you guys like best about the new cars. What is a bit marginal? What do we need to do to increase the performance? What do we need to do to race them reliably?

c'mon, I know you are watching.....great work on the new car, it looks like it was worth the wait to me - 33 and 34 were a bit disappointing (so similar to 32) but it looks like the bar has really been raised the way the 32 did in 1989 which is great.

yeah will be good when japanese motoring goes to where it was back in the 90's - i.e gtr, supra, nsx, rx7, silvia etc etc

lol yeah true. but remember back in the 80s we went thru the same crap - charcoal cannisters came in, air recirc systems and those classic little intake warmer pipes that took hot air from next to the zorst into the intake. most cars lost 10-20% of their power but they got back up after a few years.

I noticed the r35 has 3 or 4 cats as well as 2 mufflers. zorst will be a heavy mofo and hard to replace.

I hope whichever japaneses parts houses that are still in business are working on them already lol. That and integrated turbo/manifolds for us. And new computers thanks.

its true, this forum is interesting. But I have my doubts they would read it. But If they did, they would probably read the .gtr.Uk site before this one, then possibly read this one. By rights they should be reading this one first, seeing as Australia has a more distinquished history with the GTR than the UK :(

And we'll be doing our best once we get our hands on them to remove it all and replace it with tree killing, panda raping and whale slaying wholesome modified fun! :D

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Dose Pipe Sutututu · Posted

      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)
