Hey guys...

im not sure if this question has been asked before but im meant to be buying an 96 model r33 tomorrow after my old one was written off due to an accident, but my aunty was telling me they are going to introduce a ban on high performance cars for ALL p-platers, is this true?

i thought it was only for red p's which was meant to be introduced early this year or it might have already been introduced

if anyone knows more info would be good

cheers alek :mad:

Let me get this straight........ Their making new laws so there will be 2 types of P plates? Also are they banning high performance cars? What sort? What would be classified as "high performance"? How long will you have to keep the other P's for?

The new restrictions only apply to NSW, the restriction on performance vehicles will only apply to first year p-platers (ie. red P's), if you already own a high performance car or you drive a family / work car you will be exempt from these restrictions and last but not least THEY WILL NOT BE BRINGING IN ANY CURFEWS FOR ANY P-PLATERS!!! :)

This proposal was just too unpopular so they are scrapping it, however passenger restrictions may be a possibility. (restricted to carrying just one passenger if you loose your licence and then get it pack.)

I hope this helps to clear a few things up.

If you have any concers over the new laws you can contact the Australian Drivers Group at www.ozdrive.org.

James should have his E-mail address on the site.

      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)
