rofl at all the v8 supercar haters that now all of a sudden show an interest because a couple of the cars have a nissan badge and motor :)

Think you'll find the majority of us love watching the V8 Supercars :thumbsup:

Was an alright morning of track time. Took about 45mins just to get from the GWH to the parking area and i'm very surprised that it is free (even a gold coin donation for a local charity would be good).

888 - pretty calm, apart from the redbull livery you wouldn't think it was any different to 2012.

Erebus - look and sound amazing, they have a very different sound to the Holden/Fords and from a distance actually sound like a superbike riding around, under heavy downshifting they sound hot!!

Kellys - Well it has a Nissan badge....ugly looking frontend had an engine problem coming out of the last corner and the crowd cheered.

BJR - Fastest laps of the morning, probably just actually doing more of a fast lap than actually doing testing so wouldn't take much notice of it.

HRT - same as 888 just rolling around doing laps, no real different to 2012.

Plenty of cars and transporters without livery (guessing they havent secured sponsors because it doesn't take long to vinyl wrap a transporter). I'm very surprised that almost no 2013 merchandise was available (nissan had a small stand, bought a shirt and cap) but the other teams were just hocking off last years stuff. Teams really need to step up on the merchandise and corporate type area of the pit paddock like the F1/Nascar series do.

      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.

      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)
