would it be better to get your car tuned after every mod or would it be ok to get it done when you have decided you aint gonna mod any time soon. cause a mod a tune = very expesive whereas

a couple of mods per tune = expensive but not to the extent of per mod per tune. furthermore, is it harmful - mechanical wise, if your car aint tuned after a mod apart running rich/lean/fuel economy.

Nozilla, it isnt a bad idea if you have done a couple of mods, or wound in more boost, to have the AF ratios checked on a dyno, if needed you can pull some timing to keep things safe.

You probably dont need to get too carried away until you start more serious modding, which would include having some sort of management - but definately keep an eye on the AF ratios or else:)

Ill have a look at the diff fill point later. Just i think i need an oil pump to get the fluid in it.

Also in regards to the Plugs, i dont have a gauge that measures the gap for the plug and as the car is firing really well, i dont want to touch the plugs till i have the proper tool.

The tool to re-gap/check your plug gaps is only about $10 from somewhere like Motoquipe or Supercheap... :)

hey miss33 .. i'm pretty tight at the moment can i go borrow that tool :P

anyways this mechanic i know gave me a price for 120 bucks to put in all my suspension and exhaust and weld the cat up :) i'm going to tell him to change my oil while they got the car ... can't beat that LOL ... just saved my fingers from getting dirty :D hehe

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
