I've always had a love for cars, I loved my 1987 Supra before this , enough to have a badly paying job yet dedicate my life to pouring all my money and every weekend to it for 2 years even after people told me to give up and scrap it. I pushed on to no avail as my 7MGTE finally let go but...

Ive never ever loved a car like this. My 1997 Skyline R33 series 2 stirs emotions inside me that I thought nothing could.

The beautiful lines of my r33 , that aggressive stance , those signature hotplate lights...they all send tingles down my spine.

The gurgle of the RB , its seamless torque as it pulls all the way to redline , the sound of my engine honestly sends shivers down my spine and gives me literal goosebumps. Nothing sounds like an RB, you can hear it coming a mile away.

I've never felt so intensely about a car before , Ive never had so much admiration for the build quality , for the power it seems to have throughout the entire rev range. The ability it has to change direction with the twitch of the steering wheel. How easily the back flips out but just as easyily pulls back in. That additive pull when it comes on boost , the whoose of the bov as it vents.

I caress every curve as I wash it every Saturday and sit back and admire it...I didnt know it was possible to have a feeling like this towards an inanimate object.

And to think...I havn't even driven a GTR yet!

    • 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)
