boost controller, either bleed valve or Electronic and a Front mount intercooler or if u wanna save money buy a second hand GT-T intercooler if u dont plan to run too much boost. if you have money left over run it on the dyno and see what your power output is and if ur a/f ratios' are rich, buy a safc to lean them out or better yet, safe for a power fc :laugh:

the front mount itself wont give u much in perfromance, it will only let u run higher boost. you could buy a cheap bleed valve off the forums or an ebc for about 300-400 bux from nengun. as for the front mount it should set u back about 500 bux for a decent kit from justjap. its not that hard to put in but if u were after someone, itd be about 200-300 bux id say. the ebc mite cost u a bit to put in as well, maybe a cuppla hundred. u gotta search around man.

heat shield the pod filter (you are sucking in hot air) or revert back to factory airbox with K&N / pipercross filter etc.

If it's not an auto , a better clutch than factory is going to be needed.

Pineapples - diff cradle bushes.

A good set of tyres is also worth a thought if you have crappy ones.

Leave the fmic alone till you are ready to decide what sort of engine package you want to develop.

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
