Hi guys!

As you know the rules for bringing a GTR to the states are pretty nasty assuming you want it to be registered and road legal. If you want to race it the rules are it has to be a legit race car with a race history (which I suspect can be confirmed by a CAMS log book). Then it can race in historic/vintage.

Anyone know of any real race cars that fit that profile for sale?

BSM car is an absolute bargain for the development, (money, time, testing and knowledge) that has gone into it....no matter what they are asking. It think people deeply underestimate how hard it is to develop a race car.

the GIO/any gibson car are obviously the same, times 11ty. But my problem would be I could never drive it hard as it needs, just too much history to risk it :)

Wasn't the GIO car the sister car to the Gibson R32? If that's as close as anyone can buy to such a historical piece, you can guarantee huge $$$, well over what the parts together are worth. I know I'd just about sell my soul for it, and I'm generally a muscle car guy. The controversy, the brilliant development... *starts drooling* I can only hope my commodore would have half as many brilliant ideas in it.

    • 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)
