well you wanted to see the effect for yourself and now you have, money well lost i'd say.
yeah hey not to much difference kinda not happy with it have you got them??? its really just something shiny to put in your car i also bought a new set of strut bars from just jap and the bastards are bloody bent and they wont give me a refund tossers hey have you got the metal pineapples for the crossmember just wondering if there somthing i should be interested in

no i dont have a monkey bar in my car, however several people have fallen into your trap. i have metal rear subframe pineapples in my car, yes they make a difference however they increase road noise. if your soft go the urethane ones :cheers:

You won't notice any difference until you drive real hard... and I mean real hard like track work or somethign else :( and have damper setups and tyre pressures adjusted, decent tyres, played on the one bit of tarmac to be able to dial in the suspension properly, b pillar bars are really the final in chassis stiffening. If you want less bend in the chassis do the front braces underneath the car.

if you want something shiny get some braces on your teeth...

they do fark all - i't's not triangulated so about hte only thing they do is (maybe) give you some extra side impact protection. that's it.

the "final" in chassis stiffening would be seam welding and a weld in roll cage...

    • 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.
