excellent.

ordered brake pads on monday, and was assured theyd be here by today.

guess what?

theyre not here.

and i have a motorkhana and a hill climb coming up.

im somewhat f**ked off. means i gotta spend another couple hundred bucks on brake pads.

money i shouldnt have to spend.

f**kin excellent.

nothing unusual, typical postage service reliability. Or maybe a poor excuse of a vendor.

Arent you selling your car though? Hillclimbs and motorkhana's are the last thing id be doing

pretty well.

and yes, i am. but a) ive spent all the money getting it to a point where its a reliable go fast car, and b) the motorkhana and hill climb make up 2 of 3 days ill legally be able to drive my since january and until... november. i think.

and if i still had my licence, id still be enjoying my weekly hills runs. which is probably harder on my car.

I agree with steve. When I ordered lukes 1600cc injectors from florida, they arrived within 5 working days and that was non priority airmail from the USA... no way they can blame the posties unless they got the most basic postal option available - and even then maybe not...

i so had a little lol to my self

Guess

G Shine Clutch Bag

OTFFWN9SL_large.jpg<<click

'when your the last man on your team holding this bag provides you with clutch leetness'

'take it to your next lan and be the envy of all other players'

'in 2 fashionable colours for men and women'

:blink:

Does anyone no where i can order the part labeled 14875PA

Mine is leaking pretty bad as you can see in the photo.

Cheers

Main North Nissan should be able to get it in, usually theyre not cheap tho

Try koji at jap import spares, he can get pretty much everything nissan can but a tad cheaper (sometimes)

he might have a second hand unit tho... ditto for nisswreck and JMS, they're all worth calling/emailing

    • 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.
