lol @ buying a skyline as a daily. there's much newer, better cars that will be more reliable than the blast from the 90's.

Off it's tits modded Skyline for the weekend, modern car with luxuries and less headaches for the weekday.

Until you drive a post 2000 designed and built (that doesn't include R34) euro or japanese car over a week you won't realise how much stuff you're missing out on cos you're holding onto 90's tech.

Shit like being able to program the car to lock its doors and wind the windows up if your transponder goes out of range. Or even bluetooth connectivity to your Android or iPhone. Or remembering seat and mirror positions for two people based on which key unlocks it as standard. Auto dipping headlights. Xenons as standard. etc etc.

So my AU is pretty much f**ked! I'm hoping it can last until the new year.

Been thinking about Mazda 3 SP23's. CBF with another import, and want something that's not super boring.

MPS?

are you serious? when we had a cement truck decide to go straight through a stop sign we hit him at about 90km/h and if we didnt have those airbags my dad and little brother wouldn't be here today so id prefer to have a car with airbags than none because anything can happen when your driving.

yeah airbags ftw

lol comparing 90's cars to todays cars absolutely no comparison apart from they all have 4 wheels i spose id take a modern car over old one anyday unfortunately a modern equivalent of my r33 is to much for my thrasher budget plus i wouldnt wana trash an expensive car lol

yes you can compare em. there are 70s mercs that have more tech features than alot of cars of today.

what do you need all the tech for anyway isnt that why you have a house? unless you sleep in your car...

wouldnt mind an M5 for daily and an M3 csl for weekends/track :P

but i gots no paper yo

pfft man its all about the featurs

elec everything, auto headlights, auto wipers, active hid headlights, sensors,reverse camera,sat nav, seat warmers, startbutton, keyless entry and on and on i wouldnt consider another car that didnt have all that + more

dont need an s class, my lexus has that, most bmws/audis/merc will offer that these days some are options but still pretty common.

dunno why ford/holden are still stuck in teh 90s with the crap they are offering up to the local market its a joke really.

all those features alex n i listed are available on a Citroen C4 for like 15000. it's not like 2005 where the only way to get features on the cheap was to import.

opinions on 335i? id love a c63 amg but have no hope getting one of those any time soon.

fkn weapon awesome value there is a 335i e93 (hardtop convetible) for 77k with 26ks on it in bendigo premium selection bmw i was looking at in but meh.. dont really wana tip 20k out of my pocket to upgrade

    • 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)
