some may be aware i bought myself a stagea a short while ago(to stop myself spending more $$ on the 33 :D ) and right on xmas eve as i was on my way to work,(less than 30m from my work) a dickhead flew round the corner through the lights and hit me in the ass end while i was stationary waiting for someone else to reverse into a spot, i was pissed off! ;) anyway upon inspection not much damage mainly to the black plastic strip on the bumper, and the rear reo bar slightly bent in and some other minor scratches, pretty much rooted the other blokes car/wagon, it has ended up working out to my advantage after persuading the insurance assessor it would be too costly to source an original bar(althogh it is minor damage) has agreed to sign cheque over so i can buy aftermarket kit (and i have done, it is waiting for me at the depot to pick up, its a freeway dolphin full body kit+ planning some other mods, but not heaps ;) ) so could of been a lot worse, im also having a tow bar built so the stagea can tow the 33 down to pwr 11 cruise and other upcoming events

Been making some progress with my locost project, sourced some yamaha R1 motorbike shocks for the suspension, at $60 a piece posted from america they work out to be much cheaper than the propper $300+ per corner stuff. Mounted them konegseig style in the rear

Now just chasing more parts so I can design/build the front steering & suspension. Then I can get my engineer to have a look, and I will find out if I can get it road registered ;)

This is what's been going on in my world. You can read it here

hey trent. dials look sweet. if you dont mind me asking how much? and how did u pull the old one out? wouldnt mind getting some as the stock ones are a tad boring

What ECU you running? I saw the clip on youtube before, looks good, and sound like the passenger was a little nervios into the first corner :laugh:

Not sure on the ECU, it's an R32 that's been tweaked by Tomie I think. Was going like a train!! He wasn't to bad, it was his first time on the track :mad:

It's all stripped and cleaned, measure up tonight and order bits tomorrow. :glare:

You'd have better luck if you send it up seeing as he lives a little higher than you Damo :rofl:

That car of yours must be close to going now???

Drained diff oil and it wasn't too bad considering it was over 2 years old :ermm:

    • 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)
