Higher base cost for the car though.

Either way, different cars for different purposes.

I'm sure he didn't pay the current market value for the car when he bought it 7-8 years ago lol.

Probably not 50k but still expensive. Plus stock for stock.

Well, there's also a thing called technology.

Tis huge difference between a R33 and a taxi with bonnet bulge, a spoiler and some stickers.

You aren't seeing the point.

People were giving him shit about his tune costing 1400. When all it cost his was $1400.

Your tune may cost only $600, but does the tune alone get you to 370kw on a stock car? No.

Hence my point.

When you do all those mods to get it to 370kw is it legal? And was it free ? No

And if you then wanted to compare Leigh's car to the current g35 skyline being released which is roughly the same price if not more good luck getting it to 370rwkw with just a $600 tune

Don't see how people can give me shit with the ECU costing me $800 brand new and tune was like $600 which is like normal? :s

Power FCs are what $750 second hand?

Duno why haters hate just because it says "ford" there's faggots/ricers in all brands of cars.

I got your back!

Aaron, again, it's all about technology, many of new cars can be flashed with stock ecu, and whereas majority of older cars can't.

Leigh, why did you have to get new ecu for the taxi?

Tony, already told Matt to call Jack.

Did u just give up reading what I wrote half way ? Lol

G35. New car new technology. $1200 tune still won't get u there :)

Sorry not new ecu, just a flash tuner module.

this guy got my back!

basically I wanted a brand new, legal car with good power and decent handling for $55k nothing else came close - sure i've spent $5k on 'mods' but to me wheels / coilovers were gonna go on any car I got.

Didn't want fork out like $20k building up my 33GTR sure, would be quick but still a 90s car that i spent too much on imo

Yep, cos I can't work out why you'd say G35 in the equation when we were talking about ye olde r33...

BTW, Leigh knows I like to give him a shit about his 'fancy taxi'

Sorry not new ecu, just a flash tuner module.

Ah makes sense.

And nope back to square one, dads VZ has the basic low weight tow kit

if you find a tow car, i wouldnt go with BP trailer. You will need to remove frontbar to get on.

I recommend this;

    • 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)
