Anyway, to keep Mr Dave074 happy the car is now down getting ready for the tune :yes:

Wheels were a success and cant believe how they turned out considering it cost me bugger all -

They suit the engine bay and intercooler nicely -

Then we went for a nice long drive to its new home for a couple of weeks -

There are some additions that JEM has added to the list like Billet fuel filter, exhaust cam gear and turbosmart fuel reg etc but its main purpose for being there is -

Haltech PS2000 wire in and tune

Ethanol content sensor

wideband setup

cams and springs install

FULL flex tune for E85 & 98 pump fuels

This is getting exciting and nerve wracking all at once :woot:

Looking good mate :D

What's the reason for the change from Sard reg to Turbosmart reg??

Thanks Man!!

E85 compatibility, and its black :P

You wont have an issue and apparently there are plenty out there running E85 through these but they do not have the approval for the fuel so i THINK they are changing it ;)

God. Damn. It.

Water/meth injection is looking like it's gonna be the go for me, E85 is way too hard! Lol.

PS - funny thing, our cars make identical power with totally different setups :woot:

LOL :rofl2:

Must be all in the Plazmaman :glare: Lol.

Well it's about bloody time Matt :)

The rims came up really well man, I like them. Are they just a flat black or is it just the photo that gives them a gun metal hue???

Good luck with the tune mate, it's been a long ride for you hey!

Is e85 at the bowsers up at the terrace or are you gonna store drums? It's still not local enough for me down here so WMI for me I thinks..

Dibs on a ride when we finally meet up in person ok.

Haha thought that would make you happy :P

They are a satin black, they actually suit the car, although i cant run the original centre caps as the silver looks a bit silly so im not sure what to do there, BUT at least it replaced the hideous things i had on there before, ill keep the rims as daily street rims and get something lighter for the track, the XT7's weigh heaps!!

E85 is about 20 mins away on the Bowsers hence the reason for going full flex fuel setup, BUT i do have 200L ready at home too -

Sounds like the passenger seat is going to cop a work out lol.....

Thought we would have had a power figure by now :(

Like all builds/modifications, there has been issues... Seems my valve springs were a different height or something between inlet and exhaust... I haven't heard the full story yet but it sounds dodgy... It's in the best possible place so I'm

Not too concerned about the bad news...

Power figure will be OK, but will be heavily restricted due to the exhaust I think.... Will post up how it goes....

The exhaust I run is a full 3" system, have been told 3.5 would be better etc... But for the power I'll be running I don't think that counts.....

The restriction/limitation will be due to the Jasma rating, it'll be restrictive and hinder the power output....

My goal is stealth, quiet car... Stock looking, no obvious gauges... Just a stock daily to the untrained eye..

Just to expand on that, I believe the problem with the Japanese exhausts is that to obtain the Jasma approval, a lot of them are not true 3" exhaust. A lot of them step down to 2.5" just before/after the mufflers to help reduce noise, and these step downs can be quite restrictive.

    • 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!
