Bucket boy theres a 98 r33 na just been posted on drift sales, silver, coupe 7.5k

Link, Miguelone?

I saw this one on car sales, incorrectly described as a Skyline GT. http://www.carsales.com.au/private/details/Nissan-Skyline-1998/SSE-AD-2424953/ Much better price and even open to reasonable offers.

Also I should have mentioned I'm taking a loan out to get a car, but I should be able to pay it off in a year or two. *puts on flame retardant suit*

If you're taking out a loan you'd really be better off not doing so, saving 2-3k and buying a Nice tidy A32 Maxima or something, it's just as quick(or not :P) as an NA Skyline except it's comfier, cops don't even look at you and for an uninspiring FF sedan it actually handles pretty decently in the bends.

as much as it might be gratifying to buy the car now. you end up paying, say over the course of 1 year, 10 - 12% more on the car than if you had paid cash instead.

And seeing that you're on your P's, a car that you most probably won't keep for long. So. It'd make a lot more sense financially to just save up the money, while turbos depreciate further. And keep your 31 living for just that little bit longer.

so just to be different.

I like the idea of the load for a cheap car when your young.

your not paying a huge amount of interest so that not the biggest issue.

plus assuming you pay on time or sooner, then you are building up a very nice credit rating early on and will save that money plus more when you buy a house later.

    • 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)
