Quick question guys, need to do my gearbox oil.

Was thinking of getting some Nulon semi-synth from SCA or something, any recommendation?

Birds hook a brother up! Saw that you were an expert years ago in the gearbox oil thread.

Nulon never sat well in our oil thread. People complained it made their valvetrains noisy.

Get a 10w40 or 5w40 full synthetic. These full synthetics have a drain life of 7,500-10,000km depending on use, so extra cost negated by less frequent change. But they have better additive packages. Brand isn't too important, but I'd probably stay away from Castrol, Nulon and Mobil 1. Motul Gulf Western Penrite Redline Elf Royal Purple are where it's at.

Yep, straight 3 inch pipe ftw. Surprisingly quiet.

Lol. I'm quite surprised he didn't just drive off once the exhaust was removed. I remember he came to your house without an exhaust from the turbo lol

Chuck in a better engine or a turbo, i'd be up there in the high 30's to low 40s with the s2000's :D

Wonder what my 32 would do..

Have to learn a whole different car when its done :/

Ill see you brahs on the track soon,jpg

    • 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)
