I'd be a bit worried with thermos on and it hitting 110c in 20c ambient

that moment when your travel agent misses a decimal point and tries to over charge you 48K on a short trip..

Dudes, when removing the throttle body, how important is it to replace the black gasket between it and the plenum? If it comes off undamaged is it good to go back in?

It was an easy 25+ in the sun. And surrounded by 4 lanes of cars and trucks...

No excuses...it's a Pulsar...if it's not more daily friendly than a Skyline what does it have going for it?!

Would at the very least put a light spray of hylomar on either face just to be sure you've got a good seal. It's a metal gasket and it's designed to crush when it's first used so it will never seal quite so well as before.

[emts]

I can make a tractor intake pretty cheap mate.

Would most likely need the car here, unless you are running a pod and send me some decent pics? Easier to bring the car down if possible, as that way I can be sure it all fits perfectly. Of course, that means you would have to be in the country at some point this year.

Unless they are cracked, I reuse all gasket too. Hylomar is great though. The only gasket that stresses me is the T3 at the turbo entry, as they cop a hiding with exhaust heat.

[RBLUV]

pick up my GT-R on Sunday fingers crossed, back in the gameee aw yisssss!!!!!!!!!!

[Kinkstaah]

Well... after a week they hadn't started yet, that was on Tuesday.. put it there because

a) Stao made a booking on my behalf

b) They'd actually put a brae manifold on before

c) It should be simple and relatively easy

I think I could have f***ed it up 18 times after work by now
