Hi All,

I am not sure if everyone is aware of this, but the founder of these forums and the club, Christian, has had a very serious medical issue 2 days ago. He is very lucky to be alive.

His wife Bec sent the following update:

For anyone that doesn't know Christian had an aortic aneurism and had emergency cardiac surgery on Wednesday as it split his aorta and coronary arteries. Thankyou for your love and thoughts, I know he appreciates them so much as do I. He is stable now but on a ventilator which they hope to get him breathing on his own today so they can get him off it. if you could please send him thoughts of strength today that would be so helpful. Bec

This club would never have existed without Christian's efforts, and equally, most of us probably would never have met without his creation and maintenance of these forums.

And, he is a damn good bloke who has never failed to try to do the right thing in the 10+ years I have known him.

All the best with your recovery, Christian

Prayer of comfort for you Bec and Christian and other close family.

Prayer of thanks that certain brilliant medical staff have been able to diagnose an extremely difficult problem and so far, fix it.

Prayer that God willing, a full recovery is in order for a passionate gentleman who has been an instrumental backbone of the construction of one of the best car clubs in this whole nation.

:)

    • 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)
