I find it a little scary that your life can be messed with, for better or worse, simply because of what a computer screen displays...with very difficult or non-existent avenues for getting it changed. It's not corruption proof, but it's fairly repeal proof.

Reminds me of that movie The Net.

GTR registered

No RWC required

:)

Guy did have a weird look on his face when he walked out to see it on Jack's tow truck. Also saw Russell there coincidentally.

Noice!

stick it to the man, man.

saw a strange car on the road today. an older man, driving a de-badge toyota or some sort... i suspect a AE95 JDM sedan. Stock everything except a towel across the back seats. It was beyond pristine. the rear mud guards were like brand new, the paint put most show'n'shiners to shame. the chrome on the (stock?) dual exhausts looked fresh.

Did someone really do a full restoration on what im pretty sure was a late-80's corolla?

Had classic (not historic) white text on black numberplates. the old skool ones before green.

haha did you pull up in the inspection bay with the car on the tow truck? Did they need to check VIN etc?

Yep

I said it has a bad engine knock and I'm taking it to my mechanic before driving it on the road, which is true. He just confirmed the chassis and engine numbers (spent ages trying to read the RB26 engine number, lulz were had), then we swapped the numberplates over and nek minut registered.

We have customers who get the works done on their cars, spend big money on it, THEN go to vicroads to get it registered... Very ballsy!!

Where's your car off to now?

You guys if Chris can give me a date to bring it down - can you go ask him now lol?

haha, lowered it off the tow truck or he climbed up?

Took it off and drove into inspection bay to show that it can be driven, albeit very loudly. Many looks from people before we took it off and even more looks when we started it up lol

Ain't at work today, am debating whether or not to go to the doctors in an hour that's how much I don't want to move :\

you young people have no apprication of hard work, when I was your age I hade to hop to work in the snow as I could only afford 1 sock per year.

then work 20 hours for 1$ a day (thus the saying of another day another dollar) b4 starting my second job as a moving target for the police force.

and I never called in sick.

almost.

Better than being trapped inside...

Must take a look at mine as well... keeps getting stuck halfway down... the bolt that tightens onto the motor shaft keeps working itself free and slipping. Time for some locktight me thinks

    • 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)
