I'm gunna take a stab and predict if you can afford to buy one $4m car, you can afford two, ie. $4m down the gurgler probably wouldn't much bother the dude who owned this car.

Also, can anyone figure out why these things are in the region of $4m? Seriously, they're nice and all, and a clear step above a standard Aston, but fek me, I can't see where $4m goes, apart from bragging rights.

pretty much nailed it with bragging rights, unlike the Veyron which reportedly 'cost' more than they sold for this thing is all about being the only motherfarker on the block with one.

Sure its fast but for $4m i would want it to be able to fly me to the moon and back in time for dinner..

just sidetracking a bit on the article.

while the Australian asking price was rumoured to be $4 million at the time it was released in 2009. One local buyer was believed to have put a deposit on a car, but it is unclear whether it was delivered.

the first and only (so far) One-77 in Australia arrived to it's owner last month. The owner is based in the Gold Coast. Price to get it here was allegedly 3MIL, and the owner threw a suit and tie party to celebrate it's arrival.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
