...and it's still alive :( looks like the guy managed to crack the front bar (who hasn't), but overall just as nice as I remember it. Good to see he's looked after it. Got the NSW plates.

Still even got the stripes.

Haven't seen it for 6 months, was a flashback to see it again!

just thought I'd share a pointless story :)

hehe.. I think he must come up the goldcoast a bit, afterall he did come all the way from woop woop in NSW to buy it.

meh.. r32 will be faster, handle better, and maybe one day look better than the R33 ever did.. I feel it in my bones :cheers:

but it was a spin out to see it.

Faster? Handle better? Than an R33!! Just because they are a little lighter, doesn't mean they are any of the above. What was your time around QR?? And try not to blame the auto......

No offence but have you actually driven an R32?

IMO they absolutely shit all over the R33 in terms of handling...

Own a 33 and have been in both many 33's and 32's over the years. Despite the fact I own a 33 I would be first to admit that I reckon the 32 has a handling advantage. I will endeavour to change this with my new car though :cheers:

R33's dont have the best chassis design for hard driving, its good but not great, the 32 is better again but not perfect...

Your post sounded a little high and mighty, which doesnt make sense seeing 4,000,987,934 people drive 33's :cheers:

    • 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)
