Go into Autobarn and walk towards where they keep the neons and all the other ugly crap you shouldn't ever put on a respectable car.

If your wipers are in bad shape and you want to make them look better, pull them off the car, sand the back a bit with sand paper then hit them with some etch primer, then some satin black, then a matte clearcoat.

The best "look" is no wiper arms/blades (although not legal nor sensible in a heavy rain).

They're not for everyone and most make your car look tacky and cheap.

They are for kids - like coloured wheel nuts, coloured valve caps, big chrommies, mini boxing gloves, dumped on arse. The Queen street spec.

Having said that I do run a set on my 32GTR, same colour as the body, and personally they suit.

Coloured parts are only really necesaary when goimg for big hp running -10 sec down the 1/4 kind of thing, unless you have big $$$ and a good set up its really not.worth it, you can however keep the standard look and bring things back to the origional colour with new paints and things alike, much more fun and.looks better

    • 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)
