Looks awesome David - glad to see it is finally back on the road. Now you need to join up to SAU:SA www.sausa.com.au and come on our upcoming Members only dawn cruise and show it off! Then the SAU Nationals are 28-30 October and you can come over with all of us and race it at Winton :D

Is it a rear Nur engine, or did you just paint it?

You can use paint cut and polish to remove the water marks. If they are really stubborn you can also try some of that CLR Clear stuff on a rag(diluted), and then polish it afterwards.

I had water marks over most of my car and ended up having to 2000 grit wet sand and then PPG system one cut and polished the whole car. It works on glass too. Taking it to a car detailer would have been a lot easier...

Won't be able to make the nationals this year, just happens to be the weekend of a mates wedding.

I have met a few members over the years, but am looking forward to coming to some club events and officially introduce myself and the car.

I've tried cut and polish.. I thought acetone might have done the trick, but still no good. I guess CLR and see if I can sand it back?

I watched a detailer on youtube do it, they make it look so easy.......

    • 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)
