Hey,

So, I'm new to the scene of Skylines and have just recently bought my first skyline (R33 GTST Series 2). Took it over the pits...and let's just say the repair work is going to cost more then the actual price of the skyline, but none the less, I accept the project.

I know nothing about Skylines, let alone cars in general. I am learning from a few mates and will be browsing the forums to get my "know-how" in tune. First time driving a turbo and I can safely say that I had a massive smile all the way home (2.5 hours) from picking it up.

It's Pearl Orange (I believe) and illegally loud haha. The original plans was for the car just to be a run around car for work but given the circumstances (damage chassis) it looks to be a project car, but nonetheless I'm looking forward to learning more about these fascinating cars.

I do admit, (If I dare) that I am a Holden man (Not bogan) but I do respect Nissan's and the power they can produce.

Again, I look forward to learning about these type of cars and I'm sure the Bank is going to love my interest rates.

Here are some Carsales pictures:

    • 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)
