Many many thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron for accommodating SAU Members for an illuminating and involved learning experience about wheels to-day!!!

Everyone present I think, seemed to be immersed in all the information that was on offer.

I certainly learnt a lot.

Great to see all these friendly Members' faces too.

Sycorb who had to leave early; other Members who could only arrive late - at least we had a happy medium, by having this on an afternoon for once rather than an evening.

Corinne (DIF):- you guys may not know that 3 of us present to-day became Members in 2007 due to her encouragement on a dyno day event at Brookvale. Seems such a long time ago that God_speed, Pezhead and myself all joined up that day! 'Twas good that you came Corinne.

Had a great time, and thanks again to Ian and Craig for the session. Thanks to Terry, and other execs who put the hard yards in organising it.

Also nice to know that good quality jap rims have a good reputation with the professionals. ;)

Great day!! Thanks to all the execs for organinsing

Big thanks to Ian and Craig for great info and great presentation always great to see ones passion for good quality products

Great to see all the usual faces and meeting new faces ready for the next one!!!

As everyone else has said, massive thanks to Ian Raymond and Craig Cameron for their hospitality and the information they provided today! Every one of our tech nights has been both informative and interesting so far, and today was no exception.

Thanks again to Terry for organising it too.

A big thanks to Ian and Craig for hosting the event and to Terry for organising another awesome tech day.

It was good to catch up with everyone. Can't wait for the next one.

Thanks for the SAUNSW guys for organising the event with Ian and Craig.

It was good to finally put some faces next to the avatars and have some nerdy car chats with people.

Thanks to all involved.

Mark :)

Awww thanks Terry :) Was a good afternoon even though everyone was sweltering in the heat. (damn warehouses)

Very interesting workshop learnt some new things. Thanks to Ian Raymond & Craig Cameron also to the SAU exec committee to organise this. Good to see you guys are trying to keep true to the SAU club with these kind of events. They are great or all members new and even old. Can't wait for the next one. Sorry I had to run had to go pick up my sis. :)

A great session; aside from the heat I think the weekend afternoon format really worked well and I learned a lot - I think there was a good combination of basic and more technical information, and everyone I spoke to only had positive things to say. Thanks very much to Ian and Craig for their time, as well as Terry and the rest of the SAU Exec crew for organising it. It's stuff like this that sets the club apart from regular forums or FB-based groups.

Also Nick - loved the Clio! :)

    • 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)
