Yes it is. I'll do it, need some moolah :P

I love black carssss

Do mine, but at my house, and for cheap cause I just spent enough money atm :P

Looked like that hurt, although the other guy that caused it seemed fine

So... I'm thinking I had a few drinks tonight.

ended up watching fast and the furious for the first time in many many years.

first off I was surprised just how much I noticed compared to first time, ie crappy parts (mainly sparco) that I would never put on my car.

then I started thinking just how do you end up in the "scene" ie how did you end up getting into jap cars and modifying them, as 10 years ago I was all into US muscle, hell still like it but yeah.

first experience I had with Jap cars, one of the guys I worked with took me out to a MCCR "street race night in his heavy modified MkIV supra.

one thing lead to another and I've spent way too much on playing with cars since...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

Always kinda had an interest in all sorts of cars as a kid, for some reason Jap cars I remember always drew me in a bit differently, then all that FnF/Hot4's/NFSU(I was what 11-13 gimme a break :P) shit was big and I guess that moulded my thoughts a bit more then it's just grown and grown from around there.

This is why whenever I take people up my mountain run, I drill it into their heads to stick to the left of the road and not take the racing line. Too many cars go half a metre over the line on a tight corner. Sometimes you just can't avoid it though...

Used to be into 4x4's until I was what 11 or 12 when I first saw a car flying past with distinctive taillights - it was a MP 33 GTR. As I grew older with introduction of Autosalon mags and shows, FnF etc, bought first car which was a Patrol with 30ET inside (it hauled real good) thinking I'm still into 4x4's. After I'd sold the Patrol and rest is history.

/csb

I have half of the Street Machine issues ever released...thats over 30 years worth..I think my oldest 1986...

old man had a monaro.. I bought one too but couldn't be f**ked fixing it....I ran into an old friend with a skyline for sale, he let me drive it, i had cash...end story

Wouldn't say I'm addicted...

But I had seen the odd R33 on the road as a kid and always thought they looked cool. Then mates in year 11 properly got me into Jap cars with their talk of Supras and 180s. Then a mate with a Civic on his Ls introduced me to MCCR. Then I saw a 180sx cruising on the road with a CV8 Monaro (they were new at the time) and I was like...I have to have one. Parents said no :(

if your still spending money on a 33...then sorry to say your addicted.

    • 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)
