from the corner weighting of mine and others the drivers side is heavier than the passenger side. i would say that the adjustments made to even the front out has offset the rear. unless you have adjustable sway bar links. (rose joint style) than any change in ride height or spring pre-load afects the car somewhere elce.

did you do the adjusting Woo

Yes I adjusted it. But I have all standard links etc, the corner weights are only adjusted via the coil overs.

All 32's are simply heavier on the driver's side, come to think of it, so is Berry's 34, but by a LOT more than this. (Obviously the 4WD driveline has a lot to do with that).

To my mind, it's more important to have equal weight on the front to minimise brake lockup.

Your never going to know without sticking a camera in there. But one of the circuit r32's down here has a greddy oil pressure gauge, and the warning light alwyas comes on under brakes. The other R32 down here that is quicker doesn't have a gauge, and that ran a bearing at the v8 supercar round last year, it was suspected it was under brakes. But we really don't know

i have noticed on a couple of occasions mine has gotten low oil pressure under brakes and in some.one elses car i have noticed the warning light come on under brakes, never had an issue round corners.

See, there's ya problem!

Data logging, gauges, lights, oil coolers. Don't run them mate, outa sight, outa mind :P

(only half joking) :D

I'm with you, I have a boost gauge and that is it :)

Everything else is going to tell me my motor is going to be f**ked, I'd rather be told by the motor itself haha

I've had 3 engines in my car...

The first let go with all gauges connected.

The second let go on it's first venture with all gauges connected

The third lasted a lot longer then the other two, purely because I only had the tacho and boost gauge connected... Reconnected oil pressure and the motor shit itelf 6 hours later...

Fourth motor is going in at the moment...

Edit: Oh, and LOVE those pics!!!

    • 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.
