The 2nd photo is a good example why we have to have intrusion bars on our imports. Why they dont have them in japan is beyond me.

R33's and R34's have intrusion bars as standard.

It's a cold hard fact,,,if you race hard on the street that sort of crash is always a possabilty....The 1st cars not that bad,,,,the rear end has absorbed most of the impact,,,the o/s/r 1/4 has done its job very well. As for the 2nd pic ,,,well hope no-one was in the passenger seat,,,,. I see this crap on a regular basis,,,,We actually drive a VERY safe cars......Sick person I am,,,,,can I have the Wheels off the 2nd car,,,they look okay.

Side intrusion bars would (and did) do sweet FA on the car that poled the passenger door!

Just thought I would make mention of the two pictures I contributed to wreckedexotics.com :)

    • 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)
