Built it from

Scratch ? 14 years that's long :) Have you take it to the track ?

Pulled everything out of the car except fuel tank and diff, prepped body and changed from red to yellow. Rebuilt engine with good bits. Tidied up interior and engine bay a bit, still needs few things yet but with limited time it's very slow.

Yep had it ages. Dragged it when I got it and smoked clutch 3rd run. Put it around racetrack in collie. Had a great time!! Plan to do it again one day once finished

I've done the same but not to my car , my Motorbike CBR :) Stripped it all

Out and rebuild it with new fairing , and the whole lot, didn't take me long tho , prob 4-5 months top ? Bought it for $2k and sell it for 6500 [emoji6] Had fun rebuilt motorbike cause it's easy and not so much time consuming

i planned on 6 months as i had a company car and didnt really need it...2 and a half years later got a new job with more time off...started the engine 3 months later for the first time

ahhh time to get back into painting now the kids are asleep...

just uploaded another 110+ photos for the Japan album...keep an eye out

Will do and thanks for posting all amazing pictures [emoji6]

Morning all!

As a few of you guys are scattered around thought would put this out there, my lil bro is looking for a car he would love a skyline but he only has saved 500 any way I am helping him out and giving him another 500 so looking at spending around 1000, (little more for right car) he is 18 going on 19, he also likes civics,preludes and integras so if anyone sees any locally around this price point let me know please :)

For $1k, you won't get much. I have a Lexus ES300 with a fkd auto box in that price range though :P

    • 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)
