What RB30 POWER said, if you put them on in the wrong order then you'll fry your ecu. If its a series 2 33 then it tells you where to hook in the power cables, if its a 32 or series 1 33 then just take care. Often the problem is because the ground cable isnt good enough and frys everything. i've often seen the RACV hook up the ground to the engine. Also use a cable that has a fuse in it or one of those fancy schmancy electronic ones that measure's voltages and current.

Just make sure when you connect the negative lead to the donor car which should generally happen last you connect it to the engine block or other chasis earth point.

If you connect it to the battery directly it can cause a spark, and because the batteries give off Hydrogen Gas it can explode.

This does happen, read/seen numerous cases of it happening and the results are nasty.

Ive jump started 2 other cars with my car, and had my car jump started about 4 times now (damn turbotimer and leaving headlights on!)

Nothing has ever happened, but i do put the leads on in the correct order. I dont earth the leads to the chassis though.

    • lol the 2nd one boss, thank you for pointing this out. I feel as i spend more time here this intro message is some thing i will always make me laugh and shake my head at. Perfect Intro:  I have the vehicle  
    • R34DE as in R34 with an RB25DE? So did you get this? Or you planning to?  I'm not really sure what you're saying. 
    • 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?
