Just recently got back from a weekend up in Auckland for my daughters wedding.

The car performed very well, traveling around 1336km over the five days (only drove four days of it, gave it a rest 3rd day). Averaged about 11.4k/l. That includes city, Auckland motorway & open road driving.

Took the Desert Road in its stride (fun,fun,fun), purred like a pussy cat, even got it up to 140kph in a couple of the long straights!

 

It's just so easy to drive!

Wasn't to bad if you knew where you were going. Used to live up there a wee while ago.

A good couple of hours to get from Drury to the end of the north-western motorway on the way up.

Was trying to get at least on the north-western before 3.30pm but  we arrived at the start of the southern motorway at that time.

We stayed at Kumeu for the 1st 2 days.

      Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!

      Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.

      Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.

      Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
