Hey all

Im buying a set of XD9s.

I cant decide between gunmetal grey and black...

Ive never seen the gunmetal in person which makes it hard. Does anybody have any pics of them on car? and there coming from interstate...

the gray does look dark but its hard to see whithout really seeing them in the light etc

There going on a white 33 GTR.

Yeah the gunmetal is nowhere near as dark as the picture you put up the top.. Got mine from JDM concept too. There are pics of them on my white R33 too and off in the sun here if this link works : http://www.skylinesaustralia.com/forums/topic/389915-work-xd9-gunmetal-mgm/

Yeah they're really not.. I liked them on the white car.. Though I wanted black in the first place and if I still had the car I'd have gotten them powdercoated black by now.

Only reason i got the gunmetal was due to the 3 months or so wait for the black ones at the time - with plans to make them black eventually.

Black with the dish on all 4 wheels on the GTR would look nice I reckon.

Actually I'll have a look tonight - someone on here has/had the black XD9's on a white 33 GTR, think I have the pic saved somewhere.

    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • 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)
