Thanks guys...

gotta start looking into selling the MPS now, had a look at some stageas at Northshore prestige yesterday.

They didnt have anything i liked in the showroom but they are great cars inside. Lots of space and comfort....

Any major advantages of the RWD vs AWD? I cant imagine it having any major traction problems in a RWD car. I'd be looking at the 3.5L version since that way i can get a later year model, and from what im told they are a bit nicer for driving around town.

Wouldnt be doing any power mods on this car, just for looks, some sort of forged 19" wheel and suspension and thats it really.

Well, AWD vs RWD is pretty self explanatory. No, your not going to have any traction problems in a normal environment- RWD has traction control anyway. The AWD models don't. Neither model has stability control.

However, when I had old tyres on my car, and had a very wet slippery corner I knew that all I had to do was plant the foot and point in the right direction. The car sorted out the rest. Thats the advantage of the AWD system.

There is nothing unsafe about the rwd, it has traction control to keep you in check. I guess its down to your preference. With some decent tyres on your 19's you'll have heaps of grip. Just expect it to occasionally step out in the worst conditions.

Oh, and the Attesa system drives the awd car in rwd most of the time anyway. Its only when it senses slip it steps in to move torque forwards.

      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)
