Hi Terry, thanks for the heads up :blush:

Couple of months ago I was pondering whether or not I should sell the GTR and go for something more "normal", but lately I just can't get enough of it. I'm guessing I'm in my good days with the car LOL

Hi all,

It has been such a long while since I've updated this but there hasn't been many changes at all besides a few minor tweaks here and there. I guess the biggest news is that I have been deeply saddened with the sale of my car. That's right, she's gone. It was sold via the company, Top Secret Imports whom I bought it off in the first place. The boys there have been very helpful with everything.

Nicknamed "The Boss" because it had to be in control of everything, it has been through a lot of great times, hard, stressful, frustrating times and some very expensive times.

But all in all I've had my time and fun in my dream car and it's now someone elses turn. It has been a great experience as well with a highly modified car and it was by far the best car I have owned so far.

Having it sold so quickly, I haven't had much thought of what I want to get next. Since I've been with Skyline R34's for the past 5 years it's hard to see what I want as I am fairly fussy too. But stay tuned, something will come up shortly!

Here are a few snap shots of the car before it was sold.

Withdrawal sets in after 2 wks Garland. :P

hahahaha hopefully I won't have to wait for that long, although I keep thinking about what if I said no >_<

Nismo LMGT4 wheels look great!

Car looks tough as now!

Thanks! Always wanted those wheels and on a GTR as well. Too bad it was only clean 30% of the time haha

What were your lap times if you dont mind me askin ?

It was my first time on the track and my friends only timed one of my laps during my first run and I got around 1:21. You could definitely feel the weight through the corners but on the straight it was sensational.

    • 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)
