I was chatting wiith some mates the other day and one spoke of an older Top Gear episode where they compare a very, very fast car - an R34 GTR, to the McLaren F1. Does anybody know (if this is true) what season and episode it's in?

hey, the only thing that i have seen that is similar is when they are illustrating how fast a mclaren f1 is, they do this by having a drag race between a r33 gtr and a mclaren f1, and it wasnt an actual comparison just a drag race.

They don't compare them as such they just drag an R33 GTR versus a McClaren F1. The McClaren F1 obviously wins but the GTR gets a better launch :(

Not too interesting.

Anyway I saw the first episode too and the upcoming episodes preview looks interesting with 2 R34's shown for some reason.

first episode was good, although who thinks the ascari is dissapointing?

i saw a review of this in the prototype stage in EVO magazine a year or two back seemed ok, and seeing the finished product to me just seems underwhelming.

i dont think it has the looks to be a real supercar, and i think it will have trouble selling due to the looks and the BMW engine.

the 3 car comparo shows just how good the 911 is, although they keep on referring to POWER when they should be referring to power/weight, made them all sound stupid to me!

I think the Ascari is sensational, BUT (and it's a big one), BUT it is waaaaaaaay overpriced. At 500hp, it should be priced to compete with the 490hp Ferrari F430, 500hp Lamborghini Gallardo, and 450hp Porsche 911 Turbo in the 90,000-110,000 pound bracket. Instead it comes in at 235,000 pounds! More than a Murcielago! That is over double what I would expect to pay for it.

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      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)
