That's the front

One of my mates cars, currently for sale too

Thing is awesome in person :)

he got it from JPN front and rear 9 with the mivec head and all.

didn't believe him initially that it was a 7

Shit that's a lot of work to be done to do a mivec conversion, that's a awesome car

Engine I presume was rebuilt too?

graphically the main thing deterring me from a 7 was the lights...

with this new info I might just go a 7 and be happy with 220kw odd

Always a fix for cosmetics brah

7s are great.

though at 20k, i'm not sure its good bang for buck.

If you plan on modding bang for buck they become a lot cheaper than a skyline though

about $2k-$2.5k will net you a stock evo to 230ish kw

That's full exhaust, licp, bigger turbo, remapped, ebc and can probably even budget cams in there if you get the exhaust cheap enough

$5k will get you to 300awkw

EVO 7 with EVO 8 / 9 Spoiler?

Yeh but runs the 9 rear bar so looks good cause it matches :)

EVO 7 with EVO 8 / 9 Spoiler / Rear Bar?

and headlights/fin thingy on the roof..

also skirt CF extensions, different front lip, and diffuser extension on the rear bar.

not much really to get it looking like that.

oh thats awesome.

lol not kaitou.. i meant emts.

Sure, sure 

I'm just hoping I can get a clean 8 for 17-18ish Christmas next year.

Lol exactly what I'm hoping for as well (perhaps a bit after Christmas also fine). Not sure how likely this hope is, though :S

Yeah.. initial outlay is high..

And i've been thinking about it since last year. Still thinking.

no idea on rebuild was only running around the 240ish IIRC

dont think the work that huge.

Mate just did a MIVEC conversion on his 8MR not super cheap but cheaper than a lit of other mods

boosted his mid range very nicely

well I guess it's more for cost and sourcing parts

you need to rewire the whole mivec wiring into the ecu as well

and the head alone is at least $1500 plus wiring

i seriously have no idea why you sold yours.

I do regret it a lot, however at the time I was sick of imports. As a matter of fact I'm still pretty sick of them

Golf gets attention, but not the bad kind and it sits at about 50mm off the ground and has no exhaust :P

also a lot cheap. but fwd gaaaaaaaaaaaay..

though 18km/L makes up for it.

haha that's through town on freeway i get 23 to 25km/l

depending on road incline etc, but usually hangs around 4-4.5 litres per 100km :P

yeh.. im not expecting the evo to be the greatest, but anything would be better than the silvia and its 250km to a full tank lol

expect around 300-350max around suburbs, the small tank is a killer

also they do drink being so responsive :P

well thats fine from a 40 litre tank.

stagea was a 80 litre tank and i was getting max 290km from e85(granted its ethanol)

hmm

I get around 450 around town 600+ on freeway..

lol 270 kw is a very tempting power figure.

and i never did freeway or long distances..

Good to see it's all interchangeable!

lol @ comparing ethanol with PULP on consumptioin

hence why I put in brackets granted its ethanol.

if it wasnt such a risk to do it with the seven rods, i would be tuning on e85 this weekend.

the servo is a 5-10 minute walk from my house lol

    • 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)
