God I wish I was there when they signed out...

ive never had to pay for slap and tickle in my life before...there was no way i was paying for yours!

i actually thought it was pretty funny but as the room was in Luke's name he was not as amused.

Mick put new tensioner pulley stud and idler bolt on your engine...i have part numbers for the full kit including washers and nuts...its about $20 for the lot (a little bit more exy than a Stevo-salami-slashing-session)

Already done Paul :) Thanks.

(I love it when we get a chance to pay Steve out about that night) ;)

Man hurry up and finish already!!

My thoughts exactly!!

lol you Never did end up posting turbo specs :P but I didn't end up getting a 3076 anyway

Yeah, sorry about that... I havent been near a computer for 2 weeks and I forgot :P

  • 3 weeks later...

Update:

A few more major parts and incidentals attached, just waiting on some fluids to come in (special ordered) so that I can replace all oils and lubricants...

Hopefully only a matter of a couple of weeks now :D

New polished alloy inlet pipe and turbo:

maaan... so much blue! :D

Yep, my favourite colour, plus... It seems that most people go for red so I wanted to go against the grain. :thumbsup:

Lookin' sexy there!! Let's hope you can drive it faster on a track than you can on a dyno :)

Thanks Michele... I think. :D

Thanks Chris, its been a lot hard and fiddly work to get it looking as good as it does...

I havent completely sorted the catch can system yet, I am still thinking of how to plumb it in to the new inlet... At the moment it is sealed off from everything but the cam covers (still a work in progress).

No problem...

Yeah I made a bracket for it, its got 3 bolts holding it on to the body and 2 holding the can (I dont cut corners on my car).

Here is a quick "sketch" of the bracket... I used existing holes in the body when measuring up the braket, I dont like the idea of drilling more holes into the panels.

    • 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.
