Had / have two falcons

Xr8 and the xr6t

Was hanging around with a bunch of boys from the SA xr and fpv club . One dude had an xr6 t daily and a r32 gtr ( now a full racecar) got talking and was talking about shoe horning an rb neo into an r32.( forumember reading up )

Then I was workkng in sydney for 3 months and started looking at 32 gtrs not at all seriously ......... then somehow impulse bought a 33 gtr :-p

Um well its a bit different and obviously an older car and AWD ( no correcting angles with your right foot ;) )

Bit concerned about safety at this point. First thing I did was got it on a dyno and did oil and flush . coolant fuel filter etc

punched out 252 awkw @15psi ....while misfiring......... then put in Splitfires and a slightly cooler plug and shes all good. a=

major concerns at this point are slight underbody rust, and turbos....ceramic nervousness. given the boost level. Uni group seemed happy with it and its condition.

Once I get my gear up here and get some new tools going to do diffs, transfer and gearbox.

I think the clutch is slipping so that's on the cards at some point.



So in short. I am loving it, but I have some concerns and have had to fork out a bit of cash on it much to the missus disapproval. but the way I look at it is, it's a (long term) project. and I want it clean rather than modded first ( hopefully. though we know how mod bugs are).

Did i read that right ???? R33 LS1.......?????? Right boys fetch the holy water ( old engine oil from a PGC-10 mixed with R35 GTR brake dust) we have an exorcism to perform

I didn't go but I ran into the abom on the way to Brisbane :P

Sounded hot. Would have loved to have taken it on in the Caldina for a couple hundred metres to see if it goes as good as it sounds.

Nick's lucky we met on the Warrego :ph34r: :ph34r:

    • 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)
