Hopefully drops further to make the SAU:SA trip to Melbourne a wee bit cheaper :P

Just got back from Mobil, chucked in their 98% octane premium... full tank cost me just a smidgeon over $62 (at $1.12 per lt)

Loving it

-D

All good and well to be dropping this low, but for the smaller service stations like my work we're losing money because of the bigger companies like BP and Shell can drop it lower and lower under cost price. At the moment my boss paid $1.02p/L and probably won't wanna drop it under that until we get fuel again.

In the 45 days since it's dropped he's lost thousands of dollars and for a small business, thats a fair whack. So it's all good an well to find the cheaper petrol, but think about the little joints that are being muscled out at the moment.

    • 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)
