Same reason you see burnouts up hills.

Those with pissweak cars need a 'chock' or hill to do a skid otherwise they don't have the power.

1 strip usually ensues.

These are what we call "sikkunts", often found in low-economic areas such as kwinana/balga.

ROFL @ maccas trays!

When I used to live in scarborough years ago (before they closed off half of that street that goes up the hill at the end of the carparks), someone in a Swift dumped 20L of oil at the bottom of that hill and ALL night idiots were lighting it up up the hill, got to the point where the cops came out and sat on the median strip with the lights going all night.. highly annoying as it was RIGHT OUTSIDE OUR BLOODY APARTMENT!

That was a ritual for decades before the appartments were built.

Scab's burnout night, every weekend. Features include:

* police riot vans

* A demonstration by the council sand dumping ute and it's dare devil team of on-call workers.

* both red and yellow stickers

* people showing their tits (including the rare female)

* People running around a car park with car jack

* slots of blown tyres that look like the ones you left at the tyre place the day before because they were bald.

* cars driven by drivers without a licence doing a burnout

* unlicenced cars doing a burnout with drivers who still have a licenece but, are about to lose it

* unlicenced cars driven by unlicenced drivers doing burnouts

* Unlicenced monkeys driving unlinced uni-cycles doing burnouts

* people giving the signal and saying things like 'arc it up mate'

And many more exciting events.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
