Thats no surprise, I dont know of many GTR's that can run 10.5 with a stock transmission for any length of time, be it R32, R33, R34 or R35. I suppose there arent many production cars that can.

This will lead to stronger set ups, I'm just thankful to this guy pushing the envelope so soon, so that the rest of us plebs reap the benefit in 4-5 years when we can afford one.

There is no question that this guy wont stop till he gets the absolute most out of his car. All I can say to him is thankyou.

I just hope that someone is able to develop a manual transmission! haha.
for what POSSIBLE reason would you want that to happen?!

Some of these guys still think that a conventional manual is somehow so much stronger than some "semi-auto" and that with their superman skills could change gear just as fast as a DSG, if they were driving it!

PPG are currently developing the stronger gearsets, so it's only a matter of time.

Ouch! As said above, props to these brave few testing the waters and pushing the boundaries on the new GTR. Will only mean for a wealth of knowledge and aftermarket support for when many of us can afford one

      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)
