Mugabetown - Whoretownin' At It's Worst.


Recommended Posts

Been watching the invisible man, going to start on season 2 tomorrow.

that being said in the kind if person who could just sit looking out the window for the whole trip.

fair nuff

An incapable one would suffice! Stellar effort by Mazda design, not even 105,000kms and the turbo bearings have exploded, the movement means the turbine can touch every part of the housing with ease front and back.

I'm amazed there were no signs of gradual wear, drove home Thursday night, went to drive to work Friday....grind...boom....under-bonnet oil fountain in driveway

I *can* see it, but I need a hoard of magical small folk to get in there and remove bolts :( The skyline was a million times easier!

Looks like Mazda are trying to replicate the Z32s. Engine out for everything!

I don't always remove my turbo, but when I do it's a f@$king nightmare!

Cause not awesome natro motor lol

"I don't always remove my tubo, but when I do, oh wait I don't have a turbo"

Engine out....not on my watch! Though the 14mm turbo bolts are proving to be stubborn, skinned my knuckles on the left hand so far. May have to borrow a rattle gun or a 3m breaker bar to get them out!!!

    • 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)
