15:1! Man put me down for $10 on that bet mate!

Easy money!

:D

Na it's great news to hear that the car might be running for 2005. Be good to finally see what you can actually do on the track mate!

Great to hear Roy!!!! Let's hope it doesn't end up on the back of my truck again!!!!

I'm in a similar situation as you but I have confidence in Ben, my car should be ready thursday, which gives me Friday to change over to cheater tyres, change the brake pads, fit longer wheel studs, fit Tomei Hicas lock kit, get wheel alignment and fit fire extinguisher.....

Looks like were on a mission!!!!!

WOOOOHOOOOOO!!!!! The beer is on ice, the car is running, i have some faggetty suede shoes...and my flight back to Melbourne is booked for Friday afternoon.    ITS HAPPENING PPL.  :D

Im taking bets, 15:1 that car 81 doesnt break down:)

wohoo good to hear Roy. I'll have my vid cam + maybe another one so i'll be sure to get some footage off you on the track.

Hey Jack - good stuff man. You can say Hi to my car when your down at Benno's! LOL

If your pushed for time - I'd suggest the HICAS Kit will be the least noticable at Calder. Its a really good thing at say Winton and Phillip Island where the HICAS can be a bit unusual around the sweepers - but Calder is all hairpins, chicanes and strights.

I see Franks name is also down on the list now so we all have someone to chase. That makes it at least 12 Skylines.

Well it sounds like everyone is at Bens this week, so maybe its not such a bad thing im stuck in Adelaide...unless of course soemone wants to drive my car there for me...it would e a huge piece of mind to know the tune / ignition issue is sorted:) Woudlnt mind getting an opinion on the bearing/pully/belt noise the car has since a rogue tool attacked my engine:(

Ah fark it, lets roll the dice:headshot:

...and Jack, i hope your bringing the trailer, you never know.:)

Its at Geoffs at South Morang...it needs brakes bled, and bonnet thrown back on if you are serious, give me a buzz on 0408 409 068. The fluid flush and change Ben can do as its all the bits needed are in the boot...i just ran out of time:(

Ill have to ruing Ben and check to see if he has time towards the end of this week.

How did you go spekaing to Ben Troy?

Why won't you make this event Chris?

I recon Scott will give the standard gtsts a good run for thier money :)

I'm happy to take anyone who is game enough in my car on passenger laps if i have no one with me :)

Havent rang Ben yet, im carefully considering the logistics of it all before troubling ppl, that includes Ben, Geoff and you

Waiting for a fiend to call back to see if he is willing to drive the car to your place, as he has my new Splitfires and some other bits + Geoff has been a champion with letting me use his garage and tools, so dont want to impose any more. He claims im not, but i am:(

Ill leave it to Friday night, put the finishing touches on it myself, ill even grab a timing light and have a go myself?!?!?!?!

If i was in melb this week i would have been able to get it all sussed. Im better of just winding back boost and having a fun day with 180rwkws @8psi:)

    • 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)
