5K? buy an S13. If he wants reliable maybe direct him to a Cressida. RWD, not bad looks, relatively fun to drive, and reliable as f**k... until you start modding it.

Later down the track he can chuck a 1JZ in, lock the diff and rip some skids for the 'tarded kids.

their all shit

buy a c210/c110 :P

jokes aside, what about a hilux? the petrol ones never die.

our ute hasnt had a service in 5 years. all i do is top up the oil and water, fill it with petrol and its good to go

7M's blow headgaskets as often as they need an oil change (maybe slight exaggeration but close.) Not the most reliable in that respect :laugh:

driving home last night massive ass puddle (pretty f**king deep) and taking up my whole lane but didnt see it cause f**ker coming from the other side had his higbeams on. after flashing him like crazy (lol) he didnt dip his high beam so slowed to 60 then went on to slow some more and then BANG. hit the puddle shat myself and quickily pulled to the wrong side to go around it. car started to sputter and stalled :)

pulled over and airbox full of water WTF. emptied it and babied it home then dried the AFM and filter

GAY

i also hate mondays

dunno bout you, but the 7m we had did 400,000km's without blowing a gasket. only reason it came out was cos my cuz went for a 1JZ swap. did blow an alternator, starter motor, and water pump tho. Just service it regularly and don't sit on the limiter all the time n she'll be fine.

The car was a hand me down from my old man, and then from me to my cousin. Who then wrote it off. Idiot.

What's a decent car for under $2k? Something I won't have to service or give a f*ck about. I only need it to last one year then it goes off to the wreckers :)

an old civic, camry or a commodore?

    • 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)
