Update, we should have it back next week, there is still a lot of work to do, all the front end wiring needs to be redone as it was ripped out, wheel alignment, re buff the whole car, apply window tinting, re gas the aircon system.

I don't want to be that guy, but, I was taught that you're not supposed to buff a car for at least 3 months (normally 6) because the paint has to de-gass.

He’s the expert I trust his judgement, also my brother is a painter and said they do it all the time at the shop so it can’t be that bad for it

It depends on how the car is baked, there are baking techniques which allow the gasses to escape faster.

Happy Friday bloke, any plans for the weekend?

 

I heard there was a football match on, might check that out.

What about you?

I'm considering buying a 4WD which might impress you Martin. Trev might also be impressed because it will most likely be a dirty DIESEL.

I sure do! Hopefully in the new year I can tag along on a 4wd trip with you.

Some birds are taking on some cats in Melbourne apparently.

    • 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)
