First pics of the recently finished Benson Motorsport's supported Nismo 400R of David Ayers and Robbie Bolton all ready for Targa Tasmania 2009

Some of the paint was a bit of a last minute rush due to freight issues and the kit being damaged in transit... it will be refinshed post event, but I think you'll agree it looks awesome!

Finished our recce, what an adventure! treatourous rain, fog, rain, wind, did i mention rain? oh and recce in the dark is no fun! Our recce car got a flat 3/4 through strahan and we were stranded cos it had no jack, wheel brace or wheel key. Yay!

Ill give everyone a tip ive changed some of my notes to say f**kING SLIPPERY!!!! (no joke!)

wow wtf??? snowy. any damage tot he front??? befor you got back ont he road the dip looked pretty bad. hope all is good.

hope you guys have fun. owuld love to make it one year for a watch and support :(

Mate i am not a violent bloke but i would have stopped at the brow and had words. Farking idiot. LOL i am a big man with Dan to back me up...right Dan? :D

not violent my arse. I know of a certain pimply faced youth who has a scar from where you sconned him with a muffin (pun intended)! he is still scared whenever baked good are around.

Looks great Stu!

Here's a quick vid of some interesting times we've had with the locals whilst doing recce. Most love the R35 but it seems some not so much so...

;) wooah I would have definatley changed my jocks after that close encounter!

Best of luck everyone, I will be at the finish so might meet a few if Timmy is kind enough to introduce me haha

You know the sad thing is yesterday I was diagnosed with a hiatis hernia so I almost might have to start becoming a health freak.

Mind you they say one of the biggest killers for me is coffee and I'm not giving that up for anything! LOL

That's along with spicy food, fatty food and alcohol - which means if I was to take all of them out of my current diet I'd be left with just the water I drink each morning in the shower.

I have had that for a couple of years mate. Its not a whole lot of fun, you will generally feel pretty shit each day especially in the morning but you adapt and don't notice it so much eventually. Get on Somac 40mg makes life a whole lot more enjoyable. :)

    • 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)
