hey guys ive been noticing a jolt in my S2 stag over the last week or so.. it only happenes between about 4500 to 5200 rpm, it feals like its jumping between boosts mayb :S but ive earthed that wire so it should be a constant 8psi right?? the engin revs in nuteral fine so its getting the power from the engin to the floor.. i had a space saver on for about 350 kms, sounda bad i no but i just couldnt afford a tyer at that time (petty, loan etc etc :D....) it deff happenes in 1st and 2nd (its auto btw) tryed going for a launch yeterday b4 work but couldnt get a good bit of road to try if its happening in 3rd or 4th haha.

my guess is its either a sus connection where i earthed it.

4wd system or the gear box :S but that pretty much duznt count ne thing out..

thanx guys :D

search R&R or "rich and retard"

i had a look at the timing the other day and it came up as 15... i hooked the clamp on the timing light up to a wire at the back of the engin bay (pretty sure it was yellow) but i heard that reads double :S duz this mean im heaps out?? i have a sticker on the fire wall that says the timing is 15 at 650 rpm and yes the air con was off. also i tryed just reving it out with out having my foot to the floor and it didnt seem to do it :S it was my own street so had to chill :D but still

no some lights read double but not all (most super cheap ones :D ). if you got 15 it is probably right.

yeh it was a supercheep one but i cant emagin it would b exactly out by half :S and that silver thing (duno what its called :)) that changes the timing is lined up with heaps of white out marks :S semi keen just to get all the packs, spark plugs etc done as its probly time b4 i spend it on other stupid shit :P

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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!

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
