lol yeah Mongas' head nearly hits the roof. Whats more good luck is trying to sit in the fruit bowl seats in the back with a 10cm distance from the front seats. lol.

Haha "fruit bowl seats" lol... So true.

They should of just made the car a two seater cos I cant see anyone fitting in the back....

Maybe if you remove your legs? Just an idea... :D

Thanks guys. :)

Pal, I'm sure you'll see it a lot as I moved back to Rockingham today and it's my daily until I fix the R33 4 door. Don't suppose you have a spare AFM I could borrow buy any chance to check if that's what's wrong? I gave it a clean coz it was idling rough and stalling at low rpm after I put the stock ECU back in with contact cleaner. then I think it made it die completely. :blush:

cant help you there sorry. im quite happy to rip mine off and test it on yours if you want. Surprised MONGA doesn't have one.

Syfon, If I lose one point I lose it for 12 months. I accumalated 20 demerit points while I had the R34 and 33. I'm actually driving this really normal. a) because I dont want shit to break, and b) I already know it's quicker than most cars that wants to give me runs, and c) I like keeping my license. ;)

That would be awesome coz Monga doesn't have any. Do let me know asap plz, if it fixes my problem I'll buy it.

Victor, it's awesome for a daily drive. I run 20/25W race oil so the downside with that is longer time warming up/cooling down. Mind you upon saying that, when I fix the 33 and sell that I'll be going for a cheaper daily option. The worst thing I get scared of is because I work in retail, it's such a low car and if 4wd's park next to me they literally don't see it. Plus I drive on the highway to get to work = trucks. other than that, highlight of my day is driving to work. :D Fuel kinda gets expensive too as I mix 2 stroke oil in the fuel as well.

Pretty bombed! Clean as fark.

Is it just me, every car that I see come out of fabcar are always in awesome condition.

They have a very high standard of cars there. If you go there wanting to trade-in a car with a dent or a minor problem, they'd probably turn it down. They have to keep the standard up as they sell Ferraris etc there too. ;)

I just got accepted into Uni starting in March. Looks like the Bridgeport and V-mount setup is going to have to be put on the backburner for a while. :D

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
