Ok .. Amandas a dead set champ ... gav on the other hand gets me puzzled most of the time.

I'm having issues with real names atm, im like 'i was spekaing to greg' .. and then she puleld up your profile .. im like his plate is hex something or other..

and shes like .. Oh Chris?

and im like wtF? .. yeah thats him ..

and shes like, yeah i remember most cars by their plates .. (ironic how she remembed my car as 'the hail damaged r32' lol :D :D)

And i was asking her about cross drilled breaks .. and shes like nah you dont need them unless your going to be drifting and racing alot, and im like .. nah i've kinda retired.. my gearbox is screwed from all that :(

Just wondering is i should for out the 500 - 600 for slotted rotors .. or just keep my same ones ..

She told me, $165 including machining and labour and bendix pads..

dont know how true to his word he is though? .. cuz im still kind of up in the air about it, as he told me he checked my tyre pressure, and 2 days later i had to pump it up due to them being flat. :S :S

So i don't know what to think just at the moment, ill give him the benifit of the doubt and assume my tyre was flat from my weekend of madness..

Hmm..

Edit: Im not bagin Gav or anything.. im just making a statement, due to my prevous experiences with workshops ..you wouldnt blame me for being paranoid and suspicious

alright .. ill just check that transaction for you ..

as for piping, i know a member of these forums got some mild steel? piping done for $450

im hoping to possibly do a group buy on piping .. where ill have a word to some workshops and see if they can do X amount of cars for a cheaper price..

Wade - that should be fine by me, i will get my cooler about 2 weeks before you .. but im happy to wait ...

will you be supplying 2 cars? or just the one?

I noticed another member was interested in getting some piping done, so i'll have a word to him too .. and if he will be in that'll make 4 cars.

I will ring around a few work shops on the goldcoast and get prices soon .. i dont know of any workshops in brisbane .. so uhmm yeah :S ... apparently the cheapest workshop on the goldcoast is Ashmore exhaust .. doing it at $450 including pipes, bends.. pretty much all the shit. a member of the forum got his work done there, and he ahs invited me to check out the piping as he lives close by, and i may take up the oppotunity and hopefully get some photos.

However having said that .. i did speak to a 'friend' that said they were shit bla bla bla .. however i think he might be just jumping on the band wagon .. im unsure.

I will like to grab the lads that would be interested in this group purchase and discuss what kind of pipes and that so i have some amunition to speak to a few workshops about.

Nexus - how will i know when they need replacing? ..

    • 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)
