Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.

Respray is cheaper than i thought, From memory, i think that i was told it would be about 6-7K from CDR paint and panel for their basic level (as opposed to really really good and brand new quality), and their basic level is pretty dam good.

The clear coat is flaking off :/ need some exterior love on the car

Should start saving for respray

no. if just the guard then take it off and get that resprayed. thats what I did.

He's barely got any paint left...

well I guess it depends on what needs to be prioritised as a full body respray means no car for a while and lots of money out of your pocket!

This is true. Would be at the very least a fortnight without a car.

    • 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. 
    • 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)
