but they are paying for it all yea? so why does it bother you? get them to pay the bill and it gets fixed, they dont pay it, it doesnt get fixed.

All because 2 Teeth broken off the crown wheel in the FWD Diff... And noone wants to touch it...

Man, if it was a skyline, it'd be like $300 for a new diff and it's good to go :P

bitch please, $150 will get you a complete 2nd hand diff in housing.

Probably wont buy new xbox or PS, I have both current gens and never ever use the things lol

probably like 30 hours all up on my xbox and like 4 hours on my PS, guess i use that for blurays sometimes though

I bought GT5 and a G27 combo for like $450 when it came out.. probably used it for like an hour lol

GT5 was shit compared to forza

Edited by UNR33L

Yeah I bought the G27 for like $450 or something before GT5 was released.... I've used it a few times, GT5 is more fun with the wheel, but definitely harder. Drift with it is awesome though :D

I'd sell my G27 in perfect condition for $250, it's been used about half a dozen times... just a little dusty from sitting in the cupboard for ages.

Extent of engine damage if anyone was interested:

hooray for engine rebuild and mi-goreng diet time!

Will be nice to sort out issues through and make it better than it was. Seriously, one adjustable cam gear and its set to 0 anyway *Jackie Chan*

Springs might not as been good as originally thought, cause theres not many left in 1 piece 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)
