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

Because you then went on to say different technology, so I then gave you an example with current technology, even the same price.

And the $1400 tune still comes up on top

I was commenting on the $1400 tune as the use of the word tune made me assume it was simply a tune... if he had said eco and tune i would never have mentioned it.

in reference to 370kw, well that's a pointless argument... it's a 1.75 tonne 4 door sedan with a 5 lt v8 and a supercharger from factory that cost leigh 50k

compared to a 10k 2door coupe that is 15 years older.

Talk about apples and oranges!

for 50k i'd be well above 370kw in a skyline if that's what i wanted, but I dont see how it's comparable as i could also be there in an older falcadore, an ae86, a nissan patrol or pretty much anything available.

so what is your point?

end of the day, leigh's car is fkn quick and fkn awesome and I would drive it in a heartbeat.

(it's not worth 50k to me but thats beside the point)

You've confused me further. So I'm not going to say any more.

you can make the power throwing money into a older car sure, but as I said wanted something new stuff throwing 50k into a gtst lol

that's the point aarons making, comparing new cars, new technology etc

screw driving around a 400kw skyline you get pulled over you're f**ked in the ass

guess you could buy this instead :P dat dere 2.0l:

You can have 400kw Skyline and not get reamed when the bonnet is open.

Someone here have 34 NUR, RP motor blah blah blah and think he got pulled over and got done for height, no EPA from memory.

Again, horses for courses.

Also Leigh, you know me liking to take piss on you for your 'taxi' and your going on about me getting a Falcon.

this is my point.

yeh but got lucky right?

and this lol

Course he got lucky, you can get defected in a standard Skyline and that's what's shit about driving Jap. Leigh's car is awesome value for what it is. I think Aaron has a good point too...it used to be that old / falling apart Jap cars were the only cheap way to get big power...now a brand new Aussie sedan can have $1400 spent on it and kick it with the supercars.

I'd buy one if I found the FG attractive...

on another note, 90kg bench press today! woohoo!

Nice, how much do you weigh if you don't mind me asking? I just started to gym again for a month now and struggling bad...

Need cash work now

Me too!

    • 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)
