Rudds pub at Nobby just north of Clifton do a massive feed. The pub itself is a historical landmark (and falling apart)

The Bull and Barley at Cambooya get a lot of bikes and cars on sunday cruises and they also do a pretty good meal. You probably passed the wheatsheaf at east Greenmount if you went the warwick toowoomba road.

Lots of little sneaky pubs around the downs, not much else to do I guess

The main thing is you make it a point to join us next time.

After you get your mechanical/electrical issues fixed up of course ;)

Big loss whenever you're not with us.

Oh and you can lead the parade cos you seem to know where all these hidden pubs are :thumbsup:

:D Growing up out that way you get to learn all the watering holes, and the sneaky routes home. And will defo make the next run now that I have a shiny new set of coil packs. Shoutout to ESP!

As I mentioned, I can do a day run and a few sharp ones for Chris' bday but am out for the night.

Oh I suppose I could tee something up ;-)

Does she have some rust issues Ibrox?

Lol Nick, i don't even know what to say to that haha :D

My car...kinda nothing major though..that I can see. Its more for peice of mind

Thanks Clint - still a bit surprised at how much gear they stick on top of the Neo. Can see why a lot of people would go to a mechanic with a 34 just for something like a sparkplug change etc....interesting stuff, but she pulls nicely ;)

I always thought they weren't too bad - I know that mine was sprayed from factory with a rust retardent rubberised coat to the whole chassis. At first it looked like I ran over fresh road works but it's a rust protectant hehe. But, I'm not sure if all come with that or if it's just a certain part of Japan where they throw salt on the roads etc etc

yeah got no excuses not to get the tune done now, except the feeling that i'm going to need a new clutch once she's putting down a few extra killerwasps

Really am astounded the amount of heat generated from a 5min putt over to your place, considering what it's going to be like with more boost running through it :/

Haha yeh well it is one of the consumables on these cars - we all go through at least one of them during the time we own the car. But that all comes down to your driving style too Clint - some people inflict a lot of wear on them and some match rpms and what have you and wear the cluch much less - I try to heal toe where possible ;)

Haha yeh but it wasn't too bad mate - if you had been driving for longer we would have to have let the car sit for an hour or so before you can touch it. And as for the boost...I wouldn't worry about it hey, she's nicely set up to run an extra couple pounds. All the RB's will go up to their operating temps of 84-86 degrees or so as quickly as possible, open the thermostat, and then stay there regardless of boost when you're driving around normally. Obviously if you thrash it around a track for longer than 5-10mins or so she'll get hotter - but for everything else I wouldn't worry :)

You always want your motor to heat up as quickly as possible (to operating temp) because that's where it runs best and is most efficient fuel wise.

What sort of tune are you aiming for? You don't really need anything if you just want to run 2-3 extra pounds - the computer's fueling tables/maps will cover this extra air easily :)

^^ just saying that last bit because a lot of people underestimate the Nissan ECU. So many people (me included) will try to flash tune them, stick boards and chips in to them, nistune etc, only to wish they hadn't =/ From my experience I could almost advise to just stcik with your ECU until you upgrade injectors and what have you....the ECU is more than capable of controlling things until you max out injectors and airflow meters etc etc

    • 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)
