hahaha! You can still have fun without a license lol!

yer that's my car. mmm... it's ok for what it is, only running 13 psi at the stage till i work out that funny thing called traction

Only ran a 13.05 @ 108 mph.

A little dissapointing as a really wanted a 12 and i know the car is good for it... but i learnt a few things so me going back to fiddle, that should help throw it into a mid 12 before the end of the year :)

and SLYWPN... R34's have Rb25's :(

but mine is an R33 Series II RB25.

i reckon it's a shit pic though.

Oh.. yer i aint changed it...

1) i'm too lazy.

2) i'm not going to go round saying what i've got lol! Bit of stealth

but it's over 200rwkw. And that's with the Factory T04e :(

The turbo is sort just hanging on for the ride at the moment. Give it 15-17psi and it'll produce some decent results.

I need bigger injectors before that can happen though.

But that will probably be next year as i wanna do a few other things first, Brakes/wheels/motor re-build

what do you want the motor rebuilt for? RB25 should be good for 250rwkw stock with no problems.

I just got bigger injectors and a like new R34 turbo that hopefully should produce the goods on the BMT dyno on thursday/friday.

I'm hoping for at least 185 or so.

2 reasons...

1) i'm already close to the engine limit now. I'm not there but i'll be there with more boost very easily.

2) The opportunity has come about, so i'm gonna take it.

A mate was kind enough to offer a hand to do it so it's only parts that'll cost me aint it wont kill my rear pocket now :(

But i will be going further than 250rwkw, so getting it stonger wont hurt while i have the chance.

well at the end of the day... how do you know where the motor has come from?

it might have had the ass thrashed out of it! who knows.

with a rebuilt motor, stonger internals, i KNOW where it's come from and what life the engine has had after the rebuild.

why bother taking an RB26DETT of dubious origin for $5k+ .. when you can take an RB30DE for less than $500 and for another $5k more have it done exactly the way you like it and actually stronger than an RB26DETT anyway...then you strap that single T78 on it and hold the hell on..

RB26DETT in 2WD configuration is just a bit overdone and for little benefits..

Anyway,guess what i've been reading. :P

      Unpeeling the Orange

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
