Only 3 more sleeps to go :D Can't wait... I'm eager to see what difference in power I will get - hopefully it's not too big considering the last dyno tune was 2 weeks ago :P

Anyways, IMPORTANT NOTICE:

:P

darn, 2 and half more bloody days, :D

I have a missed match wheels at the rear,

1 is 255/45/17, the other is 225/45/16 ( stock r32 rim)

going to be alrite?

my other wheel at MAGman shop atm.

his takin his time! :)

If both of those tyres were new the first would 2.08 metres in circumference and the second 1.91 metres. That doesn't sound safe let alone able to be put on the dyno.

Could you put another stocker on there?

i MIGHT not be able to make it to this. Steering rack has to come out as my power steering completely shit itself on sat night. Felt a slight shudder, HICAS light came on, smoke started pouring out from under the bonnet, out from the front left wheel arch and from out the back. Steering rack just started squirting out oil =/

So it will be a mad rush to see if i can get it done by then

FACT: Smaller diameter tyres/rims make more power on a dyno.

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
