you're better off learning on the track than on the streets. give it a go.

lol!

Hey, you don't learn how to drive a manual on a drag strip. She'll race eventually. She's learning very quickly.

she said she doesnt know how to drive manual fast.

which was what i was refering to when i said it would be better off learning on the drag strip, which if you read properly you would've understood.

Ah, ok, I see how you misread it.

I only started to teach her how to drive manual 2 weeks ago when she bought her r32 gtst.

So yeah, you don't learn how to drive manual on a drag strip.

Oh, here's a quote of what she said,

I would go but I'm still learning to drive manual.

well I can drive but not fast.

Stace had never even seen a race track in real life before her first race.....reeled off a 12.4 on her first ever run. C'mon girls you dont know how good you really are till you give it a shot.....BTW practicing on the street will KILL YOU!! Unfortunately i know from experience...dont do it please. See you at WSID.

paul, when will you be coming out to wsid ? or are you waiting until sport compact ?

Yep, just waiting till the 17th Dec event at WSID. Unfortunately we find it too difficult to attend the Wed nite street meets.

Can regular Wed nite Street meet participants please tell me what the average number of runs per nite you can get??

Oh, I think it was misread there Security.

She's still learning to drive a manual. She's been driving manual for 2 weeks. She's not trying to drive fast on the road. She's learning how to shift, what gears to be in, etc. Not learning how to race.

Some people like to learn how to drive a manual, before they try and drive their newly bought manual car on a track. She was an auto only driver before like some others, but she wanted to learn, and she's doing brilliantly. I just don't want her to take the car on a drag strip yet where she'll be encouraged to go fast and might end up destroying her gearbox or damaging her engine.

2 weeks into driving a manual is way too soon! It's not like an auto where all you do is put your foot down.

I wouldn't mind a few runs.....but so hard to get away from work on a wednesday arvo

maybe in the new year...

but it has to be soon, I've thrown down too many challenges which are yet to be backed up! lol

    • 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)
