well worked on the car on staterday and took the fuel system out due to a small leek from the tank LOL!!! only a pin hole under presuser but all rewelded and tested. decided to check the fuel filters and found only a small amount of crap so was very happy. but when expecting the holly lift pump i found it was leaking from the top seal so now im going to take it back and get it checked NFH!!!!.

or well by next week should be all back together and time for start the tidy of the wireing and the 4wd system!!!

well the fun has started!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

we cleaned the tank and got it all ready to put back together but noticed the holyee lift pump had a bit of fuel running from the back where a small hole is to tell you that the nylon sleave has shit it self. well it has only after around 4 to 5 hours of run time NOT F%^KING happy the pump costs a bit and now have to replace.

so with that now on the cards i have come to the conclusion that i will now run an intank low presure pump and feed the surge tank that way.

Gday Scott, and John, who as it turns out IS on SAU!!

In a word... Gobsmacked!

As others have said, awesome build with a result that is amazing.

The best part is that you guys have been able to share this project father/son and even got Claire in on it too!

I can remember watching those cars at Bathurst back in the early 90's (before the pack of arseholes speech) and they are the reason I now have a 32 GTR myself.

You guys are gonna fit in very well with the bunch we have going to Tokyo! See you guys soon...

    • 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)
