that's falcon... getting my lowered r32 out there is nothing short of a miracle...

not only its steep its also narrow with walls running at each side so theres not much room for going sharp turns and similar maneouvres

anyone else wants to rant about their driveway lol?

i hate my driveway.

Apart from it being uneven bricks it has a power pole about 30cm from the driveway on the driverside pulling in , which results in some epic 3 wheeling action as my suspension is stiff as shit

and this is how it is when i reverse it in

i have a rounded gutter to drive in and out of.

then i have to go down hill to the garage where it then levels out almost instently leaving very little room to get a car into the garage without ripping the front bar off on the step up from the driveway to under the garge.

ive also ripped the front bar off the old 32 on my gf's driveway. the corner of the front bar cought on the end of the drive way and held it while i kept driving back.

great fun

have to take a photo of flicks driveway to add to this thread next time i down there. Its like a hmungously mutated speedhump, couldnt get her old 32 out in 1 go, had to back out angled(concrete fene on either side so not much room to angle either) then go forward and turn to create more angle. Now that was a pain in the ass!

My driveway was fairly steep... I called up the council told em the driveway was too steep for my new car so they came round and re-did it free of charge! City of Port Adelaide Enfield FTW!

That's what im trying to do... already wrote to them today and now waiting for answer.. im in west torrens tho, but i heard councils are pretty helpful with these things

    • 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)
