I'll be buying one from PSI parts soon... Definitely need a vented bonnet, things are getting very warm.

Well car is now back on the road - in it's run-in tune

Here are some updates of the engine bay and run-in tune.

Engine bay looks tidy. Great power figures for a run in tune. Let us know what it makes when its run in.

just got my coilovers installed by Anth & Alex @ Dahtone Racing :P

McDrifto - love it!

seriously i'd just leave it like that and not ruin it with any bullshit kits or rims

:D

sif leave the stockies on for looks. get some deepdish 16' or 17' if u wanna leave the car at that height. agree bout the kit tho

fark man your rear camber tyre were that low will be awesome... :thumbsup:

heres my nugget yesterday.

got my standard 33 rims back on as they have my semi's (r32 gtst rims painted black for normal driving)

post-24539-1205634603_thumb.jpg

ive decided to save up for some new rims so it sits higher and also i want a CF hood - no crazy body kits here :)

i adjusted the coilovers to the highest possible safe point (left 2cm of tread in the purches/cups) and measured all 4 so they were even lol

the coils themselves are all the way up and cant go any higher... that means it wasnt on the lowest setting yesterday LOL

heres a pic of the car at its highest setting

:)

what coilovers are they? are they bottoming out at that height?

HSD coilovers with soft spring rate. They dont bottom out and it wasnt on the lowest setting in the previous pics, the ride is smooth!!!

In the previous pics the bottom purches/cups were wound all the way down, the coils themselves were all the way up. The coilovers could of been wound down a lot, which if it was you wouldnt be worrying about bottoming out because your car would be dragging on the floor

    • 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.
