nice Luke, cant wait for some more photos

Mean while, I discovered my my driveway has 3L of Motul all over it. Found a hairline crack in the front turbo oil supply line. FFS!

Last thing I need after finding out that the car was recently tuned with a boost leak, and need to have yet another retune!!!

Shitty weekend :blush:

ugh. my foglights havent arrived yet. and the bloke i bought them off isnt replying to pm's. hooray. and some other shit i ordered and paid for hasnt arrived yet. sent to the wrong f**king address. well done. theyre sending more out, but its gonna be another 5 days apparently.

somewhat annoyed at the moment.

i find his promise to get his ministers out to reconnect with the people rather amusing.

itll never happen.

but if he/one of his cronies happens to darken my doorstep the only thing ill care to talk about is the race track.

at the moment, yes, but unofficially. theres still 90,000 odd votes to be counted. if theres enough liberal votes in that 90,000 odd for them to get another 2 seats, itll be a hung parliament.

Why is it that when I actually drive my GTR, I barely ever see any other 'lines on the road?

Yet when I'm driving in any other car, I see them everywhere! Waving from the passenger seat of a Accord just gets a blank look lol.

And yes, it's f**king shit posting on SAU today. Have to refresh/exit/make a coffee.

    • 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.
