Hey everyone

I thought it was time to show everyone what me and Mick have been working on for quite some time.

The car has undergone a heap of work in the last few months, mainly to have it ready to compete at Drift Fest.

From repairing and replacing parts after a pressure plate exploded which destroyed the gearbox, damaged the engine and

created a nice letter box hole in my firewall, to installing a new turbo kit - which has upped power drematically to

260 RwKW @ 20psi from the Rb20. To finally painting and kitting the once VERY rough 32.

Anyone who saw the car before Mick got his hands of liquid gold on to it will understand just how much work as gone into

this , and will appreciate just how amazing he is at his job !

Drift Fest was a great learning curve for us, we saw that there are changes to be made, and the car will be back out in 08

bigger and better.

We also look forward to having a go and some other non drift days, which i think will be a blast.

Cheers All

Tim.

    • 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)
