Hi All,

I'm new to the forum and the proud owner of an r34 after months of the horrible import wait!

I saved and worked long and hard to get the beast and once i can save up a bit more i want to start doing a few things just wanted to be pointed in the right direction;

I would like to upgrade the air filter from the stock box (have been looking at apexi but i dont know exactly what i would need)

Intercooler - Any brands/sizes/places to look recommended for good price and quality

Front dump pipe (pipe from turbo to the cat, mine only goes from cat back) - hope i have the terms right here =/

I then plan on tinting it etc and possibly suspension, rims and system.

Don't have a huge budget but if i know what i should be looking for then i can work towards it and do it in stages if need be.

My previous car was a 1.5 ltr lancer so this is a massive jump for me already, not looking to go too huge in terms of power or performance just

a few 'minor' upgrades. Apologies if my terms above are wrong I'm still learning and any advice or tips are greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

:)

      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)
