Hello Vic!

Just got my car down after moving from Queensland and the dirty big cannon the previous owner had on it has to go. Any recomdendations of a decent priced place to get the work done in the metro area? Just want to replace the tip to something not as loud/looks like it should be loaded with rockets in iraq.

Cheers.

You really should specify which suburb or east/west etc. as there are hundreds of exhaust shops in Melb. Personally I recommend Ringwood Performance Exhaust as they do fantastic work and very cheap.

Just not a big fan of specifying where I live, skylines seem to go missing too easy.

Suburb won't narrow it down for any thief. There's at least 10-15 skylines in every suburb anyway.

lol everyone on the vic wasteland knows i live in burwood, car hasn't been stolen yet (touch on wood)

but a month into moving into coburg, gtr got stolen. nobody knew yet back then

Yep, two years on the street in burwood - not a problem.

1 week in camberwell, the first time I don't garage it? Come back in the morning to find the ignition barrel in 3 pieces on the floor.

Thank you faceless Japanese man for fitting an immobiliser I didn't know about.

    • 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)
