Spotted EPIC FAIL ....

My R32 skyline .... LOL ...

LHR 17" Chrome rim buckled ever so slightly by potholes near airport and on majura road in 4 places around the rim and is heavily leaking air around the bead of the tyre and was running on rim ...consequently splitting the sidewall of the tyre all round ...

215/35 R17 Silver stone tyre @ $320 per tyre aswell ... not cheap and this is the 2nd time these tyres have failed on that set of wheels ... DODGEY chromes to the bin with them I say ...

And the Epic fail part is I had to Drive home on a 4 stud bloody space saver ... never ever thought i'd ever have to use that tyre but it came in handy this time round ...

Space saver FTW :thumbsup: ...

Will have to take my White 15x6" CSA wheels with polished lip in tomorrow and get a cheap set of 205/60 R15's fitted to get me by until I can afford some nice new 215/45R17 rubber on my good set of 17x7" SSA wheels

around $250 per tyre for the tyres I want ... cant afford that for a little while so cheap 15's will do .... Hoorah for 4 stud and cheap ass tyres

If it was around lunch time Kat, them I was either taking the car to Pedders to get inspection or looking for reliable double sided tape for aerial...Pedders told me useless information, nothing I already didnt know.

Spotted a White R34 tailing a bit behind me Thursday night when i was going home. Also spotted that R35 around Mitchell/Gungahlin

Apparently there is 2 R35 GTRs (White) in gungahlin and apparently they are neighbours, but im just thinking that one had come down from Sydney. ??

R33SkylineGtst: Nice to meet you too :)

Hope everyone who went to Coles Express on Wednesday got a free sausage roll...and then discovered who horrible they are.

If you guys want to do a around the town cruise, come to my work as I will give everyone who wants free coffee XD ...or hot chocolate.....I guess

spotted on Friday arvo an R32 being driven up the hill out of Queanbeyan (otherwise known as the suspension test track - wink wink), then turning around at the intersection of captains flat rd, giving it the bottle and hitting the limiter - not pretty... (yes, i know who was driving)

i suspect mine got the same when it was in... rev limit for my GTR next time it is there...

I spotted a LM Blue R33 GTR a week or so back, gave a wave.

    • 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)
