Yeah I'll look at getting it done when I get back to Darwin! Wheel alignment is made such a huge differences also This afternoon put the new filter in and bolted up the front pipe (still standard from cat back) It's amazing! Throttle response is up! Standard boost gauge is now reading 7 (is this Okies) definately gonna try to make back to willowbank next Wednesday! Also managed to lock my 1 1/2 yeah old daughter in the car :( stupid auto locking! She didn't mind, got in after a little bit! Need to get a second key cut

Haha, thanks mate.

I'll be a bit disappointed when this is done as I'll have nothing to to rib you about, lol.

Oh, I don't know; I could always revise my stance on paint colour in the meantime... :whistling:

Had my varex muffler installed yesterday along with dump pipe back 3 inch 100cell cat. When open fark these things are loud compaired to my old 2jz gte aristo.

. Was it worth the wait, how quiet is it closed.?

haha can you post up a DIY with instructions for others with that issue?

I removed the faded and cracked rain shield/wind deflector thingies. Unfortunately the weather strips under won't clean up OK, I think I'll need to replace them sometime.

1) Go out in wet weather.

2) Wait for dodgy driver to follow closely behind

3) Brake suddenly & get rear ended

4) Boot latch now works*

* Individual results may vary.

Haha I was waiting at a intersection, lady behind thought there was a gap I should of gone for but didnt see the Ute coming. So she went thinking I was going to take a gap, but ended pushing the lower left bumper in a little.

Dont know how but im happy the boot works.

Finally got time to do the exhaust, cust 3" from the cat back, will be doing the dump and front pipe eventually. Also put on an apexi pod filter, dam that thing is loud.

i am intrigued by your ideas & would like to subscribe to your newsletter...

yes very loud. would a mid muffler make it less loud?

Of course, although 'hot dog' mufflers don't do much. You need a 5 inch round body muffler at least, the bigger the better.

    • 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.
