Probably will be too wet... may have to call it off... hopefully the sun will come out and dry the roads.

Normally head off about 11:30 -12 ish from the usual place the midnight hills runs start at:

Im prob going to head to a movie tonight but it should be finished by that time... I will swing by the usual meet spot after if anyone is still keen -- i have to drive home throught the hills anyway........(may be a bit of a tame one however depending on the road conditions).

:(

Andy will have a copy of that DVD with me just in case you do show.

hi chris,

Its Chris with the Evo, how are you??

sorry i haven't called you i lost your number. Tristan wit hthe blue evo has that run on dvd finally so next run should be able to swap dvd's

are you keen to go on another run sometime soon??? maybe next week?

HI guys... was pretty wet last night... I didnt get out of pirates to 11:30 and at 11:45 when i rocked up to the spot noboddy was there. There was some tool in a supra who ran away pretty quickly (when i parked in front and went to go have a chat he drove off --> maybe he didnt like the look of my freinds in the car).

Did anyone see that ispirational whoha on the underground drift/drag/hills run scene in adel on abc last night about 730: what a crock of shit... THey used footage from melbourne!!!! I guess they have to talk it up or noboddy would watch there show. The tool with the face blotched out looked pretty distinguishable: i wounder how much the abc were paying him to come in and talk it up.

Hi Chris... Yeah im down for another hills run We should make it same time and place next fri if it is dry. WIll bring my DVD along so that we can swap... Im interested in seeing what the view looked like from that evo. Got some Bilstiens put in and it handles that much better!!!!

    • So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit? 
    • Had my rig on Matt's dyno at PITS the other day. After a few years between tunes I added a few sensors and swapped intercoolers. Result. 553hp at 26psi. Not bad for an FJ20 that was built in 2007. The problem.. It filled the overflow bottle on hard runs which leads me to believe the head gasket isn't sealing. I have a coolant pressure sensor which was reading cap pressure at 22psi and occasionally overrunning to 23/24 psi on deceleration after a pull. It was not spiking. It has arp2000 head studs and a cometic gasket. As its been 18 years in service, I pulled the engine out and head off. Everything looks good but we obviously have an issue. Where I'm at.. Years ago I had the same issue, I checked the stud tension and they were all over the place. Some at 60 to 70 and some up near 90. I nipped them all to 100ft lbs and this stopped the water push until now. I believe this compromised the gasket back then. What do I do? 2 options are..  1) I bought arp 625+s, which I could put in with a new gasket. Thinking Kameari this time, reassemble and try again. 2) strip the block, get fire rings machined in with copper gasket and try that. I do not want to push it more than 28 to 30psi. I think the turbo will be out by then anyway. (G30-770). My other concern is the long term ability of a copper head gasket. Are they streetable for years? I feel like a new gasket with the new studs will probably suffice, but I don't know. Any thoughts welcome and advice on copper gaskets and fire rings. Thanks!
    • I'm a fan of the JZX110, and the Aristo. Big cruiser cars, and with the factory cars, super comfortable and feel like you're driving an armchair! And the JZ motors are a pretty nice engine too, especially with some basic mods.   The import process, and the need to be able to trust people, and the fact there's so many scammers around is what ever puts me off wanting to go through that ordeal!
    • I don't care for these at all, but at least the underside looks straight and not rusty. A good basis for a long life. Many cars from Japan have been lifted with forklifts and f**ked almost irrepairably.
    • Yes, but it's not dumb or dodgy. You can build a perfectly good boost controller from a pressure reg, a relief valve (looks same same as a reg if all from Norgren or SMC, for example) and a check valve. I ran one for years. Only superceded with  EBC because I could get one for cheaps and wanted finer control.   THis mod is certainly not a sketchy boost mod, provided the boost is kept below the "spin to death" threshold of the turbos.
