Haven't got it back yet. I've been garenteed to have it this friday, which i will make sure happens cause i've hired baskerville for the whole day this saturday. I'm just about sick of waiting though, was supposed to be done 2 months ago. Will post up results along with a detailed list of what been done to it as soon as i get the chance to.

Alrighty, Got her back yesterday. dont have the dyno sheets on me but i remember most the figures i think.

Firstly i'd like to mention cause she's got a stock slush box in it, i'm refering to the auto, we couldn't push it to much and we were getting consistant 175rwkw and we could of got a few more pounds of boost on but the gearbox won't handle any more power. So for the time being we've dropped it back to 165rwkw until i get around to putting a r33 manual box it. Mechanic has told me with a conversion and a retune we would get over 200 atw.\

I think i had about 75~78 rwkw before and about 200nm torque, she now has around 165rwkw and somewhere over 400nm torque.

like i mentioned above, its a stupid auto. will get around to that when i have money. dont have any pictures or the dyno sheets on me but i will get them to ya's as soon as i run out of money for fuel.

oh and the boost is coming on around 3000rpm when ya flick through the gears your self and a little later when in drive.

it is a little laggy for my liking but its also a good thing cause i can drive her around lightly when i dont want to attract attention.

will get more to ya's soon.

sounds good and well done for doing it differently. you might find it cheaper to tuffen up the std auto vs changin to manual? just a thought

also if its auto youll have auto diff gears, you can get some more response changing to 4.11 diff gears (manual)

the gear box is on its way out, i have a spare one but i have no idea on it's condition, when i booked it in we were going to put an lsd in it but i forgot to ask if that got done. guess i'll have to go do a road test and work that out. what costs are involved in making the auto tougher? im assuming the lsd would have manual diff gears but as i have no knowledge on that topic i am just assuming.

running about .8bar, which is about 12psi i think. engine has only just been rebuilt and i'm running it in as per my mechanics instructions.

will hopefully get some stuff up for ya's later on today, wont be able to get any decent pictures up for a bit cause i can't get under the car. tis very low.

any one who wants to have a look at it just drop me a pm, im in Tas (Hobart) so all my two headed cousin's can have a peek.

cheers

Finally got off my arse, here's the dyno sheets. Second one is just an enlarged pic of the before/after dyno.

Keep in mind she's got a tourque convertor and we had to tune it down due the the slush box being a shit box.

Now lets hope that works and you can all see.

Putting it up on the hoist tomorro so i'll try get some pics of the set up for ya's.

Sorry for making you all wait.

yeah i'm pretty happy with it.

Just sourced a manual lsd cheap so that should improve takeoff response i assume. Seeing as i have an auto diff.

And i've just been reading that a r33 auto box will fit into a 31. I'm seriously considering that if i can get it on the cheap seeing as i won't be able to afford a r33 manual conversion for sometime.

If anyone wants more info let me know and i should be able to get ya the answers, don't really feel like doing a full write just now. too lazy!

Have a search through the for sale section, there was an r33 auto in there with shift kit for $200 i think, they were also selling a higher stall converter seperate from memory, should be exactly what you need.

cheers, reading more i discovered that the box will fit really easily except the speedo wiring and plugs are different, however, the 31 speedo fits the 33 speedo housing which is good cause then my speedo reads correctly?

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
