Thanks skyginer.

Looking to paint the car now it's off the road for a bit as the converter ate itself on the weekend so I think I will do a rack and pinion steering conversion e85 and paint job over the next few months.

Gearbox fixed again. New ecu lt16c with flex fuel and dash installed drives and runs smoother than the lt12 that was in it before. Just waiting for a drum of e85 to arrive to finish if the flex tune.

Looks like I might be looking for a bigger turbo now the gearbox is sorted. Lol

I hope it all works for you,

Gearboxes must be getting hard on the pocket and with the extra power comes extra stress on everything.

But it is all part of modifying these things , trying to get it all to work together and hope you have not over done it, haha

Hard not to try and get what you want from your ride without going that little bit further to get it :)

Lucky for me the guys at mv in Adelaide have covered most of the cost under warranty. No chance of being over it yet. If it was easy everyone would be doing it that's what I keep telling myself anyway. Lol

Been a while since any updates. Retune with 6boost and new cooler pipes was 350kw on 16psi. Car is apart finishing r31 rack conversion as no one can rebuild the steering box. Also modifying the rear control arm mounts to make them adjustable. Will add photos over the next month.

    • 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)

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
