What did everyone think of the efforts at the final drag meet for 2004 the other weekend? That little 4wd that nearly rolled spun me out!!! Was a bit disapointed with the skyline though. Started awsome, heaps off smoke, got into 4th I think by the sound of it, then spun and that was it. Anybody know what happned to it?

Was for sale. Sounds like its got the goods. If it the one in the trading post in Hobart it would want to go for the price!!!!

apparently it just lost drive, wether it was a diff or gearbox dunno.

its not that great a car, only runs 13s. its got fully rebuilt rb25 with forged internals, custom plenum, top mount T04 external wastegate. sounds like a truck. i like the veilside rims

Good engine the old rb20's. I put one in a vl and was very happy with it. Never did get around to changing the diff ratio. Otherwise it was the same as another skyline that belonged to a good mate Mick from Speedy Tyres in launceston. His old red beast ran a best of 13.3 with truck front mount, 3 inch exaust and 14psi.

Now if only I could cram one in somthing lighter.

    • 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)
