Hey there new to the forums but keen to get involved in the community. I've just picked myself up a very filthy imported R34 GTT, unfortunately it's looks like it's been neglected for the past few years, but the price was right. With nearly 300,000 odd k's i'm trying to get her back to a decent condition.

Mods done by the previous owner I've spotted are as follows:

Turbosmart External wastegate
Turboback straight through exhaust 
Silly big extra wonky intercooler
Sex spec trim i'm sure was super cool in the 90's but has faded to a nicotine yellow 

Things I've done, mostly maintenance and improving driveability:

First thing I've dealt with is a really rough idle, it sounded like a banged out WRX so I replaced MAF, spark plugs and stuck in a nice set of splitfire coil packs. Seem's to be running pretty healthy at the moment although in desperate need of a tune.
Replaced fried PS pump
Replaced clapped out springs that were free floating on the struts to BC coils
JSAI Z-Tune front bar
EVO wheels 
Android head unit with plug in Nissan data scan

At the moment apart from the cosmetics of the car it seems to be running the way it should for a car of it's age and kilometers, it has pretty decent pull and the transmission feels solid, a little sloppy from worn out bushes though.

My goals at the moment are to get it to a decent cosmetic condition and have it run reliably, I've got myself a GTR wing and looking at replacing rear bar and skirts then onto a closed door then slap some half decent shoes on to her all the while fixing things done dodgy like fan shroud cut out to make room for the intercooler and battery that just flops around in the engine bay.

Anyway here's a few happy snaps of her, look forward to getting in on the shenanigans

Welcome Liam, your R34 looks pretty good in the happy snaps you provided, Mate you should see some of the shitboxes running round the sunshine coast masquerading as "rool cool skylines".

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
