Good on you summoner,

Nice to see someones sticking up for the Aussie battler ute.

Try sticking a motorbike, or 4 wheels, or more than 1 bale of hay

in the back of a skyline! How about towing a boat?

I have a 2001 VU SS M6 235rwkw ute.Nothing like the sound of

a nice V8 winding through the gears. 260km/hr!!! Mate you must

have a hard top, 'cause anything over 220 & my tarp starts going

crazy on the rear window shelf.

Course Skylines are great (what else would I be doing on this forum) but remember what they were designed for.They are top level sports cars in Japan that only the very well off can afford.

The Holden is attainable new to the masses, & serves a large variety of different uses & needs.With wide, comfortable seats, plenty of room, & good useable torque they are excellent cars.

Ever notice how slow your Skyline is with 4 people in it?

Barely phases a V8 Holden. With 4 passengers my R34 really feels it.

BTW - just for fun I took my ute on a Skyline cruise a while back,

& managed to dust quite a few of them.

But, to be fair, I also took my R34 Vspec on a LS1 commodore cruise & dusted all of them. So what am I saying?? Hmm, not sure.

I suppose have both of them if you can.

:burnout:

My mate Brenton lives in Perth now.If he pulled up next to you in

his LC Torana, he'd dust all you all.( He pull 9.7!)

:lol:

Anyone who does not believe LS1 utes are fast should check out the latest issue of Perth Street car. The ute on the cover is running 10's at the 'Plex on the funny stuff.

THATS IMPRESSIVE in anybodys books.

I may not like the seadans and the rear end handling of the sedan and coupe but the ute is cool.

Yeah I've been caned by a couple of SS commies before. Also a 6cyl Falcon about 3 months ago, which I am still in shock over. It must have been turbo'd or something as it was an absolute thrashing. I was barely on boost by the time the Falcon was 3 or 4 lengths on me. That said, I've also beaten my fair share of V8s, mainly pre-VT2 commies, but a few LS1s.

Now why the hell am I posting in the WA forum...:confused:

    • 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)
