oh ok do you know how long they take to make them up and if the quality is any good? Iam guessing all i need is the paint name and code? Do all supercheaps make up paint or just a select few? Thanks for that info Gaz.

auto1 mixes paint.

also, theres a place called auto power or auto paint, in balcatta, on the corner opposite near geddes st that mix paint pretty cheap.. and is a specialty car paint shop too.

That balcatta one is great. They dont just go on the code, they compare your actual car and it usually ends up being slightly different. They even put the paint into a spray can for you for those real backyard spec paint jobs. Nice people too.

    • 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)
