Also while I'm here:

the abomb performed faultlessly today, finally starting to find the cornering limits of the car with me behind the wheel. Managed to pump out a few quickish laps that I'm happy with :)

Great day, big thanks to all who organised it for us :thumbsup:

Any reports on the Anteater? how did it go

it didn't :/

BIGGEST APOLOGY from me for my tardiness.

Due to lack of last minute preparations the car never made it in time for the track session.

Was soooooo looking forward to it.

In hind sight it was kinda good that it didn't as that cooling fan does look rather f**ked.

Nice to catch as always. Got sunburnt in my arms though.

To whom it may concern ... dropped the oil... no metal...... shifter out. All it was was the tinest of plates that holds the shifter in place was bent..... some gentle "massage" as natro puts it saw it right... until I can get another one fabbed up

    • 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)
