Ok .. Amandas a dead set champ ... gav on the other hand gets me puzzled most of the time.

I'm having issues with real names atm, im like 'i was spekaing to greg' .. and then she puleld up your profile .. im like his plate is hex something or other..

and shes like .. Oh Chris?

and im like wtF? .. yeah thats him ..

and shes like, yeah i remember most cars by their plates .. (ironic how she remembed my car as 'the hail damaged r32' lol :D :D)

And i was asking her about cross drilled breaks .. and shes like nah you dont need them unless your going to be drifting and racing alot, and im like .. nah i've kinda retired.. my gearbox is screwed from all that :(

Just wondering is i should for out the 500 - 600 for slotted rotors .. or just keep my same ones ..

She told me, $165 including machining and labour and bendix pads..

dont know how true to his word he is though? .. cuz im still kind of up in the air about it, as he told me he checked my tyre pressure, and 2 days later i had to pump it up due to them being flat. :S :S

So i don't know what to think just at the moment, ill give him the benifit of the doubt and assume my tyre was flat from my weekend of madness..

Hmm..

Edit: Im not bagin Gav or anything.. im just making a statement, due to my prevous experiences with workshops ..you wouldnt blame me for being paranoid and suspicious

Wade - that should be fine by me, i will get my cooler about 2 weeks before you .. but im happy to wait ...

will you be supplying 2 cars? or just the one?

I noticed another member was interested in getting some piping done, so i'll have a word to him too .. and if he will be in that'll make 4 cars.

I will ring around a few work shops on the goldcoast and get prices soon .. i dont know of any workshops in brisbane .. so uhmm yeah :S ... apparently the cheapest workshop on the goldcoast is Ashmore exhaust .. doing it at $450 including pipes, bends.. pretty much all the shit. a member of the forum got his work done there, and he ahs invited me to check out the piping as he lives close by, and i may take up the oppotunity and hopefully get some photos.

However having said that .. i did speak to a 'friend' that said they were shit bla bla bla .. however i think he might be just jumping on the band wagon .. im unsure.

I will like to grab the lads that would be interested in this group purchase and discuss what kind of pipes and that so i have some amunition to speak to a few workshops about.

Nexus - how will i know when they need replacing? ..

      What accelerator cable can be used with greddy plenum

      By Duncan · Posted

      I was 99% sure the standard one is long enough to get there, you might just have to change the throttle orientation. If not, I remember someone having used an r31 cable instead, but that is probably harder to find than r33 by now...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      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!
