ben, loan's are shit.........the best way to do it was what i did. I just worked my absolute ass off for 6 months and i saved about 7k.

You need alot of self control though, i quit spending money on takeaway food, cut down on smokes and didnt go out wasting it on alcohol etc it really pays off

i think loans are ok.. they build a credit history for buying things later in life..

i used to disapprove heavily of loans too.. but then i got one, paid that off, have paid a good chuck of the R33 off, and its been fun for me. In the end, even on a $20k loan, you pay around $4k interest. That sounds like a lot, but over time you don't really notice it. At the end, as long as the car doesn't depreciate massively, you still have a reasonable asset to sell off.

mj: and i still waste my money on fast food, alchohol, and the occassional smoke :(

i found i was getting dodgy at saving anyhow. Once i was really good, but then i moved out of home it was all over :( but a loan is something you always *have* to pay off each fortnight, no two ways about it, rather than saying "ok, i will save this $200 rather than spend it".

DEpends how good your financial management is i guess, but i know mine wavers..

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
