good luck Duncan. Im still waiting on mine since ringlands broke back in early April. Should be ready for run-in any day now.

New forged 87mm CP pistons, complete block overhaul to suit, check of head (previously ported, with tomei cams/springs) etc.

Looking forward to being mobile again :) Its been a while

Nice. I lived in renmark for years and most of my family still does.

Yeah my dad is in Berri. Nice place up there, good to get away from it without too much of a drive.

Front of my Stagea is trashed! So many bugs. Waiting for the sun to go down so I can give it a proper wash..

Andrew I was using the one from down your way, it developed a major leak on the dyno. Not actually sure whose the new one is.

I actually preferred the section from Broke to Wollemi, it is very tight, narrow, and no speed advisory signs to give each corner away ;) The old pac was the most painful, it is signposted 60 from Calga to Berowra nowdays

No doubt the speed limits will keep dropping on these "tourist" roads....enjoy them while you can!

Finally took a photo of my trans cooler for Ryan. Ignore the white spray all over everything - I was mid way through trying to get rid of all of the bugs from the front end of the car and there was plenty of overspray. :rolleyes:

Got the new 3.538 diffs in.....got some good umph now!!!!

My fears of the speedo being out are cured.....speedo and gps are exactly the same differences as they were before.

Just need to get on a dyno to sort out the tune again.

So the speed signal comes from the wheel sensors? Nice.

Now to see if 4.11's fit. :devil:

    • 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.
