Hi All!!

I thought it was time I updated this Half Decade project thread.

So engine has been installed and all plumbing has been completed, Been spending some time on getting all the fuel and oil lines perfect and checked for leaks etc.

I must say getting all the water liens hooked up was a little mission in itself and at a few points they met with their maker!

Here's a couple of piccies of how it was at 3pm this afternoon, I hope to turn the key tomorrow once I update the Ecu with a few things that have changed.

P.S when the manafactuer of a product says you need a specific TPS for their Throttle Body always tripple check that they are sure which one you need or you waste alot of time making a stupid adapter to make it suite!

Anyway I hope to update this thread tomorrow with good news!

awesome mate, and i cant believe i can see the ground through the twin low mounts !! very un-cluttered for tt. and is that a blits bonnet ? are u planning to run a strut brace ?

There doesn't appear to be any inlets or filter on the turbos, prob why it appears uncluttered

You are correct not sure what I will do there yet... Monies a bit tight atm so havn't bothered renewing my GAS for my TIG so can't make up the piping.

On another note, I finally got around to starting the car but the last hing i the list was the hook up the oil pressure guage wires .... Friggin thread broke off...

Does anyone know where I can pickup one of these? If not i'll just Fab one up during the week.

    • 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!
