Long time owner & reader finally registerred with SAU

Reside in the "Shire" suburbs in southern Sydney

Currently own a Genuine 1994 R32 GTR V Spec II with 30k - have owned the car nearly 10 years and spent way too much - is truly an awesome car and the dyno card puts a fat smile on my face

Love it dearly but think it's time for a change - problem is every time I take it for a drive I change my mind......

weird... I think someone was telling me about your car just days ago!

someone local with an R32 GTR that has rediculously low K's that's basically just stored and hardly ever driven.

Got any pics of it? And what does it make on the dyno? :(

And welcome!

thanks for the welcome

apols 4 the delay as was at eastern creek with tony wedlocks 2j based aurion - some awesome cars but a poor event for tony with mechanical failure

yeah my car's been around the shire a while & has a genuine 31km - less than 1500kn in the last 4 years as have been focused on replacing / refurbing & generally cleaning the car up

we've run a few dynos in order to get the on road tune better - last report was 450+ hp at the wheels on pump fuel & street tyres -is currently running a powerfc but also have a mines mod'd skyline ecu that the car came with -makes higher peak power & more aggressive acceleration but on road driveability is very rough - car has run higher numbers but i'm not a fan of torturing an engine, spending heaps more $ or buying vp/martini based fuels for what they charge

the car's been a labour of love for 5+ years & i've owned it nearly 10

am in the process of loading photos onto SAU however having tech problems so please be patient& keep an eye out

cheers

    • 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)
