also cant wait for mine.....even though i dont have a car to put them on, they will make a nice wall decoration for the mean time lol

yeah I cant wait till I get my car back. been 4 weeks so far but fingers crossed tomorrow will be the day

had a look at the turbos that came off the gtr (mattyr31 saw them too) and one was rooted...

to quote matty "Hey you can see daylight thru the housing!"

turns out the rear turbine's water feed had become blocked and had most likely overheated and warped the housing, which led to the bearing getting munted and blowing oil into the compressor section - certainly would explain the det and lack of power in either case...

water and oil lines have been thoroughly refurbished now tho, so when it goes to boostworx on monday for a tune i should be pushing some healthy numbers

that aside, its time for a crap joke

Two atoms go into a bar on a Friday night. They are both in a good mood and proceed to drink themselves under the table.

They are now really drunk.

One atom turns to the other in horror and says "Oh Shit, I lost an electron!!"

"My God, are you sure?!" asked the other atom in disbelief.

"Yeah, I'm positive......"

-D

Sorry mate they only bolt onto 34gtr :) 33 is different bolt hole size :( but yes the 6-pot brembo's arrived today. Here I was thinking they were just alittle bigger then the 34R brembo's, but holy shit, they are huge. Bigger then f50. Would basically take up a whole half of a rotor easy.

Pics will be up tomorrow :)

    • 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)
