I had an idea.. if the MAS "crew" haven't already thought of it already..

With all the attention SAU will be getting at the MAS, shouldn't we plan a well planned (..yes, may be hard!) meet and cruise a week or two after just to keep the interest levels up??

Just think it might be a bit lame if we go "yeah, we're a great club, we have regular cruises and meets, come along, etc".. first question your average Autosalon punter will go (hopefully a lonesome skyline owner) is "Sounds great, so when is your next one?"... resultant blank stares and "um, er, sometime - just keep watching the website ok? there will be some, err sometime"..

4 weeks later there is actually one, by which time Mr MAS excitee gets bored and forgets about us.

So do you guys concur with my thoughts - that we should be organising something very close after Autosalon? I think it should be a reasonable sized one all day one in the style of GOR gruise out country somewhere.. Any ideas?

If u wanna attract more members, then, like u said, it's a good idea to already have one planned for when people ask about us.

For a country cruise we could always go all the way out to the 12 Apostles/London Bridge. I know it's a bit far but i reckon it's well worth it. Last time i went the traffic out in the country was next to none.(back roads that is) :D

any big cruise out to the country is a good idea.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
