As good as an RB30DET skyline would be, I voted S15 as you'll probably get better resale on it. Then again if you're planning on keeping both cars a while, then the R33 RB30DET could make financial sense. Plus the S15 is an awesome car.

Also, do you like low down torque or a little lag? That's another factor to put into the equation.

Odd choices, but given them I would vote to sell and get the S15. But by the same token, if it were the other way around, ie you had a non-turbo Silvia and the options were to either turbo it or buy a GTS-t, I would vote for getting the GTS-t.

Out of interest, why would you want to even consider turbo'ing your own car considering the extra expense and hassles?

      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)
