how does one put so much effort and money (and sponsorship) into such a car for so long... then sell.

...I guess cause someone else was driving/winning.

they had developed as far as they thought they could take it, starting a new project to go even faster now

it will be expensive. and EPA is a scary scary organisation.

but do it anyway. it'll be awesome. NA+Ts have moar low down torque due to the higher compression. Though, budget your conversion for turbo brakes, and stuff.

I was meaning more along the lines of acquire new engine, put in new engine. Not sure if the GT-Four comes with bigger breaks like the GT-V does. Information like that is hard to find.

Pretty sure it's been done before, and there'd be certain perks in doing so.

But also consider that it's most likely cheaper and easier to sell it and buy a GTT after your four years is up.

Moreover, consider the fact you may not want a skylineand post-Ps. My mate has a 34 GTFOUR, and I'm pretty sure for a long while he was considering N.A.+T. Has the AWD as well, so.

It's actually for sale at the moment as he's just got off his p's, if you want I can find deets for you (you could ask him deets about the brakes etc at least, I forget how much he's wanting for it).

But, I digress. He's on the hunt for an STi now. Which was my point about four years being a long time ; and that things change.

    • 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)
