suspension bushes as far as i know will deteriorate if lubed, but i'm just a sparky so.... your starter motor bushes could do with a drop of oil!!!! :D :crazy:

How is your alarm going Greg?

haha ok thanks danny

very happy with alarm, no problems at all :D the only thing that i could complain about is the external siren is a little quiet compared to some of my mates ones...but its loud enough, just not deafening bastard loud :D

have you had any time to play around with ur headlights so both low and high beam come on together?

i can't wait to see your impul kit on the next cruise!

I'm pretty sure you don't need to lube any suspension bushes in the Skyline. You just replace them when they wear out (start leaking). As already said, urethane bushes are the way to go either when they need replacing, or when you want to upgrade your suspensioni.

When I fit my Clifford Matrix Responder alarm soon, I will mod my headlights and and do a step by step on the headlight modification for everyone. I think it will be easy, but we will see!

Your siren should be quiet on chirp and warn away but loud when in full song, if you want louder chirps just cut one or the thin black wires on the siren. not the one that runs your bonnet pin switch though!! ;)

I'm with JimX,,,,no lubing is required. There's no real way of doing it anyway. Your not going to remove factory bushes,,,lube them and then re-install them. Whiteline recommend you use there lube when installing there sway bar bushes,,,but thats only because they move just a tad every now and then. All other bushes don't move as the bolts are up against the steel bushes.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
