:wave: welcome:D

I'll let someone else give you details about what to look for in a 33, but about the best advice I can give, is when you find one that's the right model, and the right colour, and you sit in it and know that you can't live without it..... then you have found the right one :D

welcome nick - anything you need to know 'bout skylines is here! :wave:

just look for worn stuff. drive half a dozen before you start deciding, cause they are all very different! (you will notice bad suspension etc).

hi Nick, and welcome :D

Have a look in the Vic section, there are plenty of ppl from melbourne here. Even if u don't have your Skyline yet, you can always go along to one of the cruises, check out the cars, and say hi...as far as i know they're a friendly lot over there :D

    • 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)
