Tony, if you're going to do this business, make my GTR faster?

Birds, PM me price for wash n wax if you don't mind.

Definitely, your car needs more powah

No risk ey tony? Who's money you spending?

Not spending anyone's, just looking after it :P

Ah k. Well good luck with it and I hope it is successful, I just see a lot (and I mean a lot) of people wanting to get out of it these days, but they can't because they have too much invested or it's the only thing they know how to do. Customers are pulling in their belts with all the financial worry, putting off servicing and repairs to their cars etc. Most workshops are only breaking even at best (terrible cash flow, they take forever to pay their oil accounts with me), many have closed down and the only ones really getting ahead in terms of profit either A. have their own little niche market, B. are at the top of their game reputation wise, or C. they are ripping customers off. You'd want to be going into it because you love being around cars, but the irony is that, it can and does make you hate cars! Just food for thought.

Yup definitely food for thought, will be discussing the viability of it tomorrow night.

    • 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)
