Relating to the ISP talk, I've been with Internode for 7 years or so, loved it. Now I work for them too haha.

U know Joel? Was at a wedding tonite with the dude, friend of a friend. My company just happen to be internode partners too >:D (8 years with node and counting, love the service)

Yeah, saw all the wankers about 3am drag racing down South Road and doing burnouts in the Making Mattresses carpark, like the heroes they are. Didn't take long for the cops to arrive, given how indiscreet they are ... :P

the photo does not pay justice to how steep it is. the roads in Koh Chang are off the hook

yeah i knowwwww , my mate went to thailand a few months ago and took lots of photos , some good roads over there

pitty they all drive like FWD hondas with greddy stickers haha

Looks awesome Carl. Shoulda taken a skateboard down the twisties! :P

hahah yeah , the only 2 things that i was missing while i was there was my car and my skateboard. that being said.... having either of them there would have landed me some hospital time ;)

I wouldn't have picked you as a bogan Ben :P

nah no bogan, im not into incest

i do like aussie muscle tho.. xu1/slr5000 toranas, chargers, xb/xc fords...never got into monaros tho... i also like american muscle (57' thunderbirds, 67 camaros, corvettes, pontiacs firebird & fieros etc)

they're the exception to the rule sadly, most australian (and american) cars are utter garbage. much to my chagrin.

-D

Edit - and while I detest 4wd's, f150s/250's are quite ruggedly over-engineered

yeah its one hell of a car thats for sure. sounds magic too.

props to the 2.4lt turbocharged sigma too

sigma was the car i learnt to drive on and got into the most crashes with (haha)

top little car, I wish I had a turbo version back in the day, but once I went from the sigma to an r31, I was hooked on the skylines

    • 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.
