I always like it when a mechanic notices that you've got an interest in cars and actually talks about what and why he changed something for... like shows you the inside of the screwed water pump, or the timing belt cracks etc :P

Also makes payment a lot nicer, knowing that work was actually completed... and WHY it took xxx hours

This.

I shall take a photo of my old timing belt lol it was cracked as fuark! Apparantly influenced leaks in cam seals so had that all fixed. *phew* Coil packs didn't need changing, already had spitfires, didn't even know! Changed HKS spark plugs to NGK's, hks one's were pretty worn tho. But yeah car just feels amazeballs, due for a reefton run. :D

Reefton Spur, I assume? Have been meaning to go for a ride/drive down that way, but haven't been able to yet. Actually haven't driven / ridden besides daily duties in a long time, lols. Give me a yell next time if you're going up :P

f**ks sake man....

related: I got done for that one about 10-12 years ago at like 4 am sat (was driving modded e30)

cop asked why I ran a red light, told him it was amber when I went through and it was safer to go through as there was no way I could have stopped (truth)

he gave me the fine and points anyway. $200 back then

Then he started to hassle me about what I was doing driving around at 4am in the docklands ( this is back when it was an industrial area)

Told him I was a DJ and off to a $200 per hour gig... dude lost it, I just got in my car and drove off... lulz were had

Dont think it would go that smoothly in 2013 though :no:

yeah we all know they're a bunch of wankers one day they're going to go too far with the wrong person and someones going to get shot or killed over modded car related issues.. my brother is PISSED atm

I kinda want something bad to happen to a stupid hwy patrol cop, they might re-think some of the stupid fines/defects then? I duno.

    • 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)
