Hey guys,

Due to the fact I will be looking for jobs up in the mines and oil fields next year, I've been thinking of storing my DR30 cos I really dont want to part with it.

Does anyone have some good tips on storing cars, so I dont come back and find the thing rusted out and f**ked when i want to re-register it in a few years.

cheers

-Glenn

bout to do the same...but as most are 2on 1off....you still have time to wash it and run it for 15 mins every now and then...unless you are locking it in a garage not near home...then do the usual..put on chassis stands..leave doors slightly ajar.(stops rubber squishing)...empty fuel tank and fill with gas so as not to rust..actually..empty all lines and pump and filter too...these days fuel turns to varnish with in 2 months!!......put oil in pistons via sparkplugs...just remember to empty it before starting later on..(remove plugs and turn over..pressure will spurt it all out)...bait the area for mice and roaches...and since you can afford it...get a security patrol to check it once a day!!!!!! and alarm the bdlg!!!

      R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying.

      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)
