Should be compulsory...

We're paying for it too but in different name, it's called TAC.

Essentially all the TAC money is going into the commericals they make...

So really bikes are pretty similar on rego, huh?

How's insurance? Same as cars? U25's still shafted?

Much the same as car insurance, with faster and more expensive bikes attracting higher premiums like imports and prestige. My R1 is on par with my Skyline - both have similar market values.

Third party is only around $150 though.

Yes, a lot of people go third party. Just as many opt for no insurance at all.

Running costs, maintenance and repairs, initial purchase capital, resale value, tolls - all financial advantages over cars.

Got pulled over tonight.. just licence check and breath test, the officer ended with "sorry to bother you"

Aaron, has reading this post made you angry?

Not really, that's all that really happened with me

They actually pay out crash victims quite a lot also give funding to police which is part of the reason they do so many breathe tests per year to meet the quoter set, something like that a cop was explaining to me

Really, no insurance? Seems at least third party (fire and theft) would be worth it since bikes seem so theft-able? *picks up* *loads into truck*

Especially with such good weather out, really makes me wish I had one :P.

    • 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)
