Its the OLNY ONE I GOT I AM GONNA FRAME IT BUDDY!!!

So what is wrong with your BOV?

nothing....I just don't like to attract attention, and I have been reading that they actually hinder performance unless you have a highly modified engine

Sup?

Just got back from yet another Venture to Brisbane..

I wanna take back everything I said about Aresspeed, If ound out they wernt at fault .. it turns out it was soem little ****ing shit that works there that was ripping off the business. I belive he owns 'onboost' or something .. he was scared he was going to loose his job and i susesed out he was rippping off Aresspeed.

Oh well such shit if you loose your job kid.. should think twice before attempting to **** around me and the ocmpany you work for.

On the topic of shit businesses.. i have a bone to pic with Gavin woods, I have addressed this problem and he keeps thrrowing excusese at me as if im some dumb****.. let me tell you about it, and look from a nuetral position and tell me what you think...

U booked my car to be seviced by Gavin, he did so and told me he check all the tyres and the headlights bla bla ... 2 days later I find a near flat tyre and one headlight not working, I put the flat tyre down to my rough driving.. and gave him the benefit of the doubt..

I then took the car back about 2 weeks later saying, something is up with my headlight, you said it was fine but 2 days later it wasnt working and i cant figure out why, can you look at it

he then proceeded to charge me when i came back and informs me my hi/low beam needs to be replaced and i should by a brand new one ($200) .. i made sure it was the hi/lo stalk and right or wrong he said hes checked everying its the hi/lo beam .. thats exactly what it is..

I chose to get back to him on buying a brand new part as $200 was a bit rich, and he told me not to goto a wreckes as i need a brand new part, i think came across one of these switches for $50 so i thaught i would try it out to see if it was the hi/lo switch like he said .. i puleld apart my steerign column and installed the new one .. and guess what .. no difference. after a few hours of thinking i decided i couldnt find the problem.

i then decided to check the headlights ..a nd after all this team i discover it was a blown globe.

no my beef is, Gavin is 'apparently' the god of skyline mechanics as you will have all read the thread abotu how good his work shop is.

Yet such a professional guy that knows everythign about skylines gave me false information..

he told me he had checked everythign and the problem was the hi/lo switch .. nothing else THAT was the exact problem...

yet after all that money and shit it turns out it was a simple blown globe.

my question is .. if he is so good, how can he not tell the difference between a perfectly working switch and a blown globe.

got me puzzeled?

    • 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)
