great post above!

i was in the same boat as u when i first was getting my p's, i wanted booost, but new i couldnt drive it until i got my fulls, had 15grand saved, spent some buying a sedan civic vti for run around (good space, great GREAT reliability, bit of go for a 1.6, sounds great), banked the rest of the money gaining interest, 3 years on, im getting fulls in 2 months, made about 2 grand on interest, bout 2 sell that civic for bit more than i paid, budget is now over 15grand, so im buying boost very soon :(

not worth buying a car and garaging for at least 2 years (u said u were just about 2 get your p's) coz u will, without a doubt, take it for a spin, and its not worth getting pulled over for and losing your licence thus delaying the time before you can legally drive it.

This is quite possibly the most intelligent person I have seen on this forum.

Dont be daft buy a shitbox learn to drive properly ie judgeing what other road users are about to do and generally honing your skills as a driver..

If you go out and buy somthing powerfull you may just become a statistic, sad but true, you need experience in driveing not the fastest car your money can afford.

Please just go buy somthing sensible and learn to drive properly and rack up some experience.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      On BMWs what I do because I'm more confident that I can't instantly crush the pinch welds and do thousands of USD in chassis damage is use a set of rubber jacking pads designed to protect the chassis/plastic adapter and raise a corner of the car, place the aforementioned 2x12 inch wooden planks under a tire, drop the car, then this normally gives me enough clearance to get to the front central jack point. If you don't need it to be a ramp it only needs to be 1-1.5 feet long. On my R33 I do not trust the pinch welds to tolerate any of this so I drive up on the ramps. Before then when I had to get a new floor jack that no longer cleared the front lip I removed it to get enough clearance to put the jack under it. Once you're on the ramps once you simply never let the car down to the ground. It lives on the ramps or on jack stands.

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.
