Many of you will remember this car in its past life, however, we are reinventing her... hopefully in time for WTAC 2016.

If you would like to see the development of the project as she grows, you can follow her build here

While most of you know her by her previous name, she will now be known as the Xtreme GTR [emoji2]

We should have a reunion bbq sometime soon too!

I hope so Rosie, I'm torn between style and performance on a few things eg not fond of the wing that looks like it's joined to the car by a shopping trolley lol but I will try to get the right compromise lol

Update: the new Facebook build page is now https://www.facebook.com/XtremeGTR 

The type I had created originally was not suited to what we wanted to do with the page. This car has certainly progressed, but being such a major rebuild means its taken some time. I have some fabulous content going up soon, including the cage going in and all the parts we've purchased. 

Website underway but due to some secret squirrel stuff, won't be fully live until the unveiling event at end of August. www.xtremegtr.com.au

    • 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)
