i disagree if you setup up your ride height to a similar to factory height you wouldn't need and alignment if you say take an inch or 2 out you probably might

Right.... This is probably why i find that some jap cars have seized toe bolts, and are out by 21mm. (Treating them like commodores in my opinion)

Not to mention the fact its a 40 dollar, every 10,000km kinda thing. i spend more money on a cruize.

no skin of my back if he doesn't get a wheel alignment,

just i know that his toe would be out. and its good to check all the figures are even after installing coil-overs.

either way you don't NEED a wheel alignment, but your car does handle better, steer better, and wear tires better if you do.

Hence the fact i wheel align my car ever 5000km with oil change. (i would still do it even if i didn't work at bob Jane)

all this talk of wheel alignments... i should probably get one done soon.

oh yeah, crickets boring as batshit. football interests me about as much as cancer does. and id rather stab myself with a diseased needle then sit through a game of tennis.

bring on the womens beach volleyball though...

Looking at all the cruise pictures, it's pretty low that cops had made such a huge presence on a cruise like that, considering what they're actually cruising for.

Sure, it's no excuse, and there's plenty of defectable cars... blah blah blah... but it's still bullshit.

I counted about 5 or 6 people getting defected... in the car park.

The end of the cricket was bloody awesome - apart from the fact that we lost.

Very exciting game though - never thought we would post such a low total either :huh:

Not liking the cricket is unAustralian and should be against the law. Fair enough test cricket can be a bit slow at times (that what all the beer drinking is for), but the one dayers are all action.

+1. I dont care how Pommie the game is, we have dominated it for decades, making it OUR game! Every team over the last 10 years at least have been waiting for this time, where Australia has to regrettably rebuild, and become a team again.

Decades? I guess you dont remember the 80s when the West Indies would rip the nads off the Australians repeatedly... and ya certainly can't claim it to be 'OUR' game when the indians are dominating the game from the admin level upwards...

Paint drying or cricket. At least with paint drying u get to kick back and admire the handiwork

so maybe years was the word i was after, not decades.

I still just dont see how a one dayer or 20-20 is boring to watch? Yesterdays game was boring, but a full on game like Aus v South Africa, aus posting the highest one day total ever, then south africa chasing it down. That was a damn exciting game to watch.

Dunno about 20/20, one dayers are >more< interesting to watch than test matches, but its still pretty bloody dull... and playing cricket in australian weather? 40+ ? Forgeddddit, you couldn't force me to be a spectator in those conditions, let alone a player... soccer, while boring as hell to watch (not least for the pansies that roll over clutching their legs and then taking a free kick without any visible physical discomfort) is actually pretty fun to play... afl, while its far far too athletic for a portly bloke like myself, can change at any given time and generally has more goals/points scored often than the single goal in soccer, or the occasional 6 hit in cricket.

Don't get me wrong. When the guys smash the ball and start running, it becomes interesting. But how many overs do u generally have to go thru before someone hits a screamer?

    • 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.
