My other half has been using my skyline this week, cus he left his keys out at work (works 2 hours inland)...

Him and his mates bought some air horns, the type you use with that gas stuff..

He left them in the car, in which the car sits outside in the sun all day. Next thing he hears this huge BANG!

Due to the amount of heat, the cans blew up inside the car, and smashed one of my windows.

I dunno what the window is called - but now i need a new one!!!! So anyone that would have one, im keen to buy! It's a R33.

So guys, please don't leave aeresols, or even alcoholic cans rolling around your car. I've learnt it before with alcohol, as someone left a can of jim beam inside, and it exploded.

Took forever to clean!

Cheers Karina

Im making him pay for it.

He's been a bit unlucky lately. He put up one of those shade things, which were held down by 1 brick on each corner.. the strong winds flung is off his r32, and when it landed all the poles scratched each panel, + his brand new if a month old front bar. Did it a couple times..

*sigh*

ahh yes

karina phone or email niswreck and get a price on one off them, dont think it will be cheap but

its not something you see floating around here that often but u might be lucky

no u cant steal mine :(

good luck with it. Let me know how u go

Did you have factory UV glass? If you did then it could be very hard but it looks like you don't from the pics...call some glass repairers and see how much the rear quarter glass panels cost...

New windscreen (front) was $250 on my R33, at least it wasn't the rear window (with the demister) :P

Had the same thing happen to a can of deoderant in my girlfriends car, it was sitting on a CD at the time and the CD got blown into about 40 peices, was pretty funny. Other than that, no mess, apart from the car smelling like Lynx :P Must have been one hell of an explosion on yours, lucky no one was inside! :)

Damn, expensive lessons....nothing to do with luck though. Heatstroke affected decision making maybe.

Good thing it wasn't whipped cream or cheez whiz, now that would have made a mess.

A clip across the ear is required I think.

Jeeeezzz, i have one of those tyre sealant and inflator cans.........can only imagine what that would do to my interior.

please dont use that on the 34 gtr johnny....

i keep one of those tiny deoderant cans in my centre bin... no probs as of yet :D

    • 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)
