I know my custom scheme might not be to everyone's taste, but I'm stoked with it. Such a cool little bike that turns heads. Plus I still have the factory kit to slap back on the bike for when I upgrade to a non lams bike

so what's next? Just enjoy it for what it is for the time being. I've got an aftermarket chip in it so I'll take it to a tuner to optimize my settings & voila!

Happy days!

I've got some O'Neil body armour that you can have if you want, size medium. I'm near Liverpool.

It was great for hot days, more protection than leathers and covered by a long sleeve T it was 1 million times cooler.

Sweet as! Can't turn down free armour!

I'm not from livo area but maybe I can pop down & pick it up on one of the public holidays coming up?

Otherwise I'm smashed for time between work, uni & the whinging missus ;);) (God I hope she doesn't spy on sau looking for my posts :P )

Got a bit tired of the rabbit ears look. So installed some bar end mirrors & changed out the grips while I was at it.

From an aesthetic point of view I prefer it, but I personally wouldn't recommend it for this kind of bike, field of view is not as good & the mirrors shake like buggery (more-so than the stock mirrors :P)

    • 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)
