Looks good. I might be there. I'll just have to see if i can suss out some new tyres n get them on the car before then. (mine are bald/almost bald:P)

Luckily enough the missus is otherwise engaged as well :cool:

Sorry guys but we can't come now :down: We have to go to Rocky for Grandma's 90th birthday.

We were really looking forward to it too. It would have been great to meet some people on here. And I was going to make cup cakes for everyone - which would have gone well with Myles' fairy bread :)

Hopefully someone plans another one soon so we can come to that.

So disappointed ;)

Depends on how long everyone decides to stay for: chances are there'll still be a few of us there.

I'll pm everyone with contact details for Myles and myself in the near future: give one of us a call once you've finished work: we'll let you know what's going on... By the way, where are you located??

Hey all!

I'm keen to come and the date is almost perfect, except that is the day that I have to start work after two weeks holiday.......

But I dont' start till 12.

So I was thinking I could come down for the first leg of the cruise to Nerang, and then head back to Brizzy in time to start work.

So unfortunately I won't be able to make it for the whole cruise and bbq :-( But atleast I will be able to come for a little bit and see a few local stags and meet there owners.

It's a pitty DarrenSpencer can't make it cos I was hoping to see his machine in the flesh. But I'm keen to see a few others and have a chat with y'all, especially Greenghost's as I think yours is a bayside blue RS as well?

Anyway is there a Brizzy crew meeting somewhere or should I just head straight down?

Also my mate might wanna come along either with me or in his 180. Was jsut wondering if there was any descrimination agaisnt the 180 tagging along? ;-)

Look forward to it anyway,

Cheers.

Hey dave. Where abouts do you live. I was thinking for at least the northside guys n girls we could meet at DFO near the Airport then go either straight over the Gateway (taking note that its all etoll now) or go down the highway then towards the city along Kingsford Smith Drive, take the ICB then Riverside Express Way and then onto the Pacific Motorway. N pick up the Southside guys on the way.

I'm in Norman park, so I could go either gateway or straight on to the pacific.

I spose it might be easier to catch you somwhere if you were coming through the ICB rather than if your heading straight down the gateway.

I'm easy though, if I set off around the same time I'll probably catch ya's along the way.

:D

Cheers,

Is there a decent place to meet up on the southside near u mate? i belive there are a couple of guys on the south side so perhaps it would be better to meet some where on the southside. i dont know the south side well.

cant u call in sick for that day

Yeah would be good to be able to do the whole cruize and hang out for a bit. But can't really chuck a sickie, it's work I wanna do as well. I'm working a few days in the brisbane festival, so missing out on that one day is kinda like missing out on a weeks work.

As for a central Brizzy meeting point close to me; it's probably easier if we meet somehwere further south, save having to have several meeting points on the way to the meeting point ;-)

"Springwood Maccas or thereabouts & then head south?" Sounds good to me.

Cheers,

Dave-

I think that woks for most guys even those in viccy point or whatever, proberly about as far south side as your goin to get... and then those guys like me can go up old Cleveland road and get on the highway after chandler sports centre....(theres an idea, meet at sleemans sports centre then get onto the highway through mt gravatt-capalaba road..) otherwise we can just all meet around the springwoods are4a somewhere.

Im ormiston, so i guess that pretty south-eastish as i think we have on this cruuise.

Allright Brissy boys i think Springwood Maccas is the place to meet.

(This is the one you guys were refering to yeh?)

I think probs meet round 7:00 to leave at about 7:15.

Then hopefully get to Coomera BP at 7:45 - 8:00 at the latest.

All in favor/All apposed.

    • 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.
