My cock envy gauge is going ballistic :(

you now have monies to buy a hooker to fix that.

I've put a resnobly light flywheel/clutch combo on, exedy hyper singe. weighs 12.5kg vs the std 18kg. I didn't get a clutch or flywheel with the car, so it ended up costing me only slighly more to get a good new one instead of hunting a flywheel down, and getting a sports clutch.

the rev limiter will be just past when the hydro lifters are going NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! :cheers:

it's all well and good to have big hp. but at the end of the day, we are still stuck on 8" rims, and you can only put so much power to the ground through them.

so 10,000rpm then :D SSSSSSSSSSIIIIIIIIIIICCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCKKKKKKKKK haha

who did crinkle paint?!? any ideas on what product was used? I want to do mine red ;)

Progress has slowed due to me being a lazy bugger and ben taking all week to change the seat rails.

im currently on wires and their not overly photogenic but i will have some cool things done by the end of the weekend one hopes.

oh and its bens birthday today. he turned 14.

looks like the sau pics are dead atm. But I got the front rail finished, Damo pissed the neighers off by grinding after dark, so it restricted what i could do after work. But i'm happy with how it's ended up, I had to cut a section out of the floor, and weld a new reshaped bit in to get the seat to sit abit lower.

I also have a family friend who is a panel beater, who cut the rust out of the rear wheel arches (under the pods/water catchers)

using a lincon 170a mig. it's dad's and he loves gas-less wire, so it sprays shit everywhere. but and the end of the day it only has to be strong, and it is.

I wish i new how to tig (or mig neatly :) ), and had a tig to weld with, cause thin panels with a mig are a bitch.

My dad's got a pretty rad welder that can do just about anything, stainless, alloy etc. It a big industrial one (about a metre tall) he bought from a shipbuilder that went bust.

Ive never used it though cos i was a shit welder in high school.

It can do the most delicate of welds right through to to fattest bits of BHP's finest

Reckon it could weld ya rib back together cock?

yeah i've heard the gasless mig's are pretty cacky. who wants to pay the leasing fee for a bottle of argon? but you can get disposable bottles cheap as, so im tossing up wether to get a tig or a mig now. atm ive only got a 170amp cig transarc... pretty good, but not really great for the car.

welding al foil, thats mad.

anywho...

dumb thing is that dad has an argon bottle, he just hates hooking it up, and he didn't want me to swap the wire out. But still holds at the end of the day, just sprays like a mofo, which isn't fun when your under the car, and molton metal is raining on you.

    • 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.
