Hi all. Just checking in. One hell of a night shift, just cleared out my workshop for household rubbish collection, no food since yesterday sometime and no sleep.

Getting slightly edgy.

Oh, did I mention no Skyline to take on a relaxing Sunday drive, because my alarm is playing up, and I can't drive it until the entire system is ripped out and replaced?

The Hilux is just not the same, so I am here deep relaxing breathing...

Yes, false alarm last night. The noise was my incredible neighbour who came over to see if I was OK. He checked out the entire yard, and stayed until my husband got home.

And then stayed for a couple of hours to dismantle alarm.

At the time I didn't know it was him, just heard noises. Only found out it was him when my husband came to the door with him.

At one point a police car came down the street at high speed with sirens going. I thought Yay, I'm saved! but they didn't stop, even when they must have seen my alarm going off. A few minutes later the police helicopter came over.

My neighbour also told us that the night before someone had disconnected their power in their meter box, so now I am a little worried.

But after all of that my baby is safe, and nothing on earth could start her now, so a thief wouldn't have a chance if they came tonight.

Note to myself, try not to be so cowardly when someone is messing with my baby!

    • I'm actually not sure - I think it was "Stealth Performance" (It really is near impossible to find a FEMALE 1/8BSPT to 1/8NPT male at ALL) but having the thing leveraged on a 90 degree angle on a small aluminium fitting is not too smart. Also in not too smart, I've drilled out the center of the broken fitting so there's maybe 0.00001mm of thread to bite into, so yeah. I may have to get it drilled/tapped/plugged entirely. Given I could conceivably tap a thread/adapter/pressure line in any point in the oil system I suppose it's feasible to run a line to the Nissan Sensor to keep the dash working. Do these exist in AN fittings and the like? Like an AN fitting that has a NPT (or other?) thread as well for putting a sensor in?
    • I would agree.  There will be an amount of boost you could run safely with an otherwise factory system, but it would be low enough to not be worth the cost.  And if you are reliving your 20s, you know a 'little bit' was never enough. Personally, if I didn't want to spend the money, then stick with NA bolt-ons, and maybe a tune.
    • Fuark, at least the motor survived. What brand was the fitting that snapped?
    • Wrong question. There's no point in spending the rather large sum of cash and effort to add turbo, without taking it to the "sensible" limit of the motor itself. If you have to upgrade injectors, etc, then so be it. That is a tiny fraction of what it will cost you to turbo it.
