Oh hai...

Car is all done.... again :D

Drivers side Recaro installed.

Passenger side Recaro still needs a rail.
Installed Mike's old auto trans cooler in the factory spot as a power steering fluid cooler to upgrade from the Loop thing in front of the drivers wheel.

Replaced orange indicators with clear ones which were thrown in with the front bar I bought, he clearly didn't know what they're worth.

Oil Change

Great success.

Also, sold my stock 33 turbo... Had the price very roughly set, guy travels for like 45 minutes to my place to inspect it and then he starts ummming and aarring about shaft play and how he doesn't know if it's worth it...classic bargining move, then right off the bat he offers me $5 less than my asking price :| Professional haggler right there :|

Well done SIMON.

Shit I'd completely forgotten about my southern cross tramp stamp, it's still kind there surprisingly.

Tramp stamp?

Shouldn't have left the party...

Yeah I didn't say anything, but you were flashing the goods when you were trying to get the PS Hose off and leaning down into the engine bay... Think the turbo buyer's mate was a bit keen when he spotted it

I scrubbed the crap out of mine in the shower with a nail brush, I'm still pink

    • 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)
