Out of curiosity, does any one know how long it normally takes to get your plates after passing your car over the pits? and do you get a permit or something to drive the car during the interim? I'm assuming it'd take a couple of weeks but I have no idea.

They give them to you straight away.

Keep in mind that Welshpool are the last pits left so if you go to somewhere like a K-Mart Tyre & Auto there may be some delay.

I'll call them first thing Monday morning I guess and see what times I can book it in. Current Goal is to have it rego'd before Friday (going to take it to KYP Tue Arvo or Wed Morning to get it "inspection ready". hopefully take it over pits thursday, or earlier, depending on how long KYP take with the car.

    • 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)
