Went into Ted's Camera Store in Southland on my lunch break and asked how much the Hero3+ Black is... $530... I laughed and said "I guess that's why you've got so much stock of them" and walked out...

Then bought it online this afternoon for $449, and then got a 64GB Sandisk Class 10 MicroSD and the new style GoPro Suction Cup Mount... all for less than Ted's wanted for just the camera.

And they wonder why people are turning to online purchases and we're hurting "the little guy, the aussie battler" with a brick and mortar store...

Niceee, how much for the hero2 ;]

Would it be possible to flip the intake plenum and have it all run turnflow down the RHS of the bay?

not enough room on that side. barely enough room to fit an alternator belt with the engine in. But it probably could be done, maybe with a custom plenum.

and then you'd have to figure out how to get from the outgoing compressor to the inlet of the intercooler.

hmmmm... possibly. might foul on the turbo as its mounted low

Im getting new ignition leads, 7mm NGK's are probs getting old. I know next to nothing about spark leads, but know about cables. I couldnt unscrew/detach the bit that fits over the spark plug, so wasnt sure if you need to buy them/get them made with them on ?

I know right! How dare he charge $90 extra just so he can have a stocked shop front with full time labour & the freedom to take camera home and use the same day!

    • 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)
