New to forum this is my intro

Hi all I'm new here but not at all new to cars particularly not nissans and datsuns. 

I curently own a 1992 r32 skyline with a series 2 rb25det engine and gearbox. I've been building the car for a mixture of street sprints and drift for the past 2 years. All modifications have been done by myself with the help of a few mates and a lot of patience from the mrs (luckily she into cars). I'm a fully qualified auto electrician with a background around racing since I was young.

Previous vehicles (nissans) include. 

Datsun 180b (street car) 

Datsun 180b (track car) 

Datsun Stanza (track car) 

Datsun 1200 ute (street car)

S13 Silvia Q's (street car) 

R32 Skyline Gtst (street car) 

R32 Skyline Gtst (track car, same car as above but now to heavily modified for the street) This is the car I have now. 

Anyway that's it for now. I might start a build thread if I get time between work and garage time. 

Thanks for reading

Brock.

      Mistakes were made, my R34 Story

      Nah. You need 2x taps for anything that you cannot pass the tap all the way through. And even then, there's a point in response to the above which I will come back to. The 2x taps are 1x tapered for starting, and 1x plug tap for working to the bottom of blind holes. That block's port is effectively a blind hole from the perspective of the tap. The tapered tap/tapered thread response. You don't ever leave a female hole tapered. They are supposed to be parallel, hence the wide section of a tapered tap being parallel, the existince of plug taps, etc. The male is tapered so that it will eventually get too fat for the female thread, and yes, there is some risk if the tapped length of the female hole doesn't offer enough threads, that it will not lock up very nicely. But you can always buzz off the extra length on the male thread, and the tape is very good at adding bulk to the joint.

      Neg, the top one is actually for the front. The sizes are 18x10.5 +18 and 18x11 +32.   I measured many times but I'm sure I'll have problems as this is the thread for problems.

      Just one thing; tapping tapered threads is tricky. Taps are always tapered and you would generally run it as far as you can, but with a tapered thread you have to stop much sooner otherwise the wide part of the taper will run in too far and you will have to thread the sensor in too far too as well (possible that it will never make a good seal) BTW nice wide wheels, I guess the top one is for the back!

      Welp, good to know. Will have to wait awhile until steady hands with drills and taps are available. In other news, these just arrived! I will weigh them for posterity. Edit: 11kg each (or 10.9/11.1 depending on what my scale decides over multiple tests, the 18x11 don't seem to weigh noticeably any more than 10.5)
