Nitro champs this weekend @ WSID. Starts Friday with group 1 first qualifiers @ 5.00pm.

All catagories will be well supported. I know for a fact that Top Alcahol has a group of 11 cars.

Will be crewing for Aaron Hambridge so come say hello. hoping for solid 5.60 or even high 50 to qualify.

Well awesome but busy weekend. went out for first qualifier on friday afternoon and went 5.72. this qualified us third. unfortunately we dropped an intake valve so that was our night done. pulled engine down, replaced bore liner, full set of pistons, rings and bearings. welded and repaired cylinder head, cleaned bits of engine out of everything else includind oil pump, dry sump, and blower. had car running by 11am sat morning. had first elimination at 5pm. ran 5.65 @ 248mph for the win. then seviced car for next round. Up against wayne Newby in semi final, red light by .02. overall good result considering the start of the meeting.

    • 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)
