Hi all,

The time is almost upon us! Official date for entry is Dec 7th however garages and carports are up grabs NOW!

Myself and a mate have just purchased ourselves a garage :D Cant wait!!

My first time was Powercruise early this year and i must say, was a highlight of the year behind the wheel.

The earlier you enter and pay the cheaper it is. All info can be found here---> http://www.powercruise.com

So get your bums into gear and get in early, it would be great to have a big SAU group attend.

Drag, Drift, Power skids, Cruising, Show 'n' Shine, Burnouts it has it all. Great for spectators, a million times better for entrants!

So who is going???

I dont think my gearbox would handle the powerskid comp :banana: Dont want to risk blowing it and ruining the weekend.

Entering everything else though.

Well my car is at the panel beaters today for some repairs thanks to a milkshake tow truck driver. 5 weeks out and I've been promised the car back in a month, which gives me a week to put it back together.

Worse case scenario I'll put some goggles on and drive it with no windscreen under primer. I'm not missing this for anything!!

Jeez man! My fingers are crossed for you.

Get this, putting all my bits back together and the wastegate fouls on the covers!! So now i have to tow the car to my metal shop and cut up a newly ceramicoated exhaust housing to get it to fit, then get everything re-ceramicaoted, then tow the car back home again :ph34r:

    • 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)
