Yeh, welcome buddy.

I'm relatively new to SAU as well, and now that the Tempe boys have hooked me up with some shiny new wheels I should be able to overcome the embarassment of having a totally stock 'line, and actually turn up to a cruise or two. :)

I knew somebody would bite :wassup: - nuthin wrong with a stocker, but those of us who have already quietly suffered years of driving bloody falcons, camrys etc before the missus finally caved in and let us buy a decent ride will understand why you don't buy a Skyline and leave it standard.

Dunno bout the bleed valve tho if that's what your planning on doing - I was warned not to fiddle around with the boost too much without at least a decent FMIC.

PS - where did you get your exhaust done? That's next on my list....

the place i got my exhaust at charged me a fair bit plus scratched the paint a little on my rear bar so i wont name them :rant: except that they are in fyswick. I will say they have done a good job with the exhaust however just those few little things are what put me off :P

in regards to the boost i am only going to be runninng 8 - 9 so its barely over the stock of 7. in regards to an FMIC maybe but we will see at the moment its a no go. saving for appartment + just bought new rims + gf lol

      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)
