workshop:- 20 dollars says if you had have trimmed the bar he would have complained anyway. either way shoulda called.

fanboy:- good luck owning a import if you cant install a kit designed for your car. ur in for a long and expensive road. As it stands you should have known that the bar would require trimming its up to you if it gets butchered by tin snips or by a body shop who work with that kind of thing all the time.

bring back the skyline owners who diy.... back in my day.....

I've been reading this rediculous saga and i have got to say this is funny funny sh*t!!!!

The business owner is an absolute idiot.......... Mate you sound like a f#$king tool. "No one mentions the good things u do (donations to charity/good jobs etc)" --- Commendable effort but if you have to blow your own horn for people to think you're doing a good job.... chances are you're not. You think that they didn't get a bad deal as they didn't have to pay much.... money is most definantly not the most important thing when it comes to people working on your pride and joy. And who commits to working on a car if you're not actually a qualified mechanic.... you wanker.

33fan..... well ur not that bright either

Conversion guy..... you got stooged by a dodgy workshop.

    • 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.
