Haven't bought it yet... the guy's woeful grasp of English still haunts me

Yeah wait until you order and see how many emails you receive from him and how they are all set out and spelt, it's CRAZY!!!

However you saw the product and it's the best I've bought from anywhere

I look forward to taking one for a drive. I wouldn't be surprised if one ends up being my next car. What colour did you get?

It's funny I always hear from Skyline owners how long it takes for them to sell their car. Many of them told me not to sell it because it would take so long and have my time wasted by so many people. I sold mine in a month and got a good price :)

WRC Blue Mica - the Subaru exclusive colour (the Toyota twins exclusive colour is Orange.) IMO the best colour of the lot, I wasn't set on any other colours.

Re: my Skyline, it was hard for a number of reasons;

*Auto

*Turbo

*4 Door

*Highish (but genuine) km's

Limited my market considerably because most people want manual coupes with 'low kms' and a P Plater can't drive turbo. The first person to come and see it (after 4.5 months for sale) just lowballed me even though the car was as described and they had nothing to pick on. Second person brought all his mates, I let him test drive and he bought it. It was a good car, it just had to sell eventually. Frustrating thing was having 3x regos and 3x comprehensive insurances at once...

So the Roady passed everything...

But the guard lining?

Umm wtf?! He said just get the guard liners put in and he'll pass it. And he'll do the next Roady free?

Why wouldn't u just pass it? Lol

I think so, he said the only reason it's all passed is because its extremely neat and very well hidden ie gate and big turbo.

But for guard lining? Man it's such a waste of time, and one lining is $70

Negz, done a few front guards and kept the lining. Tony's one, jonoes two.. And a few others from the BMW forums aswell. And I got my linig back in too, just lost the passenger side so I have to source a new/used one

Indeed it is, I had it pointed out to me too.

Good to know you can keep r34 ones... I may be a future potential client... maybe. xD.

Other costs coming up such as major ~_~

More so on ours as there's wires that run along the top rail and apparently "if the tyre pops and shreds the steel lining can rip through those wires"

    • 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)
