I think the angle of the photo is misleading, from memory the tapped hole is the same depth as the captive nut. We drilled into the rail itself, so the tapped hole does have a good 15mm of thread.

Point noted though, I will double check. The car is off the road at the moment, so I will pull one of the seats out and double check how it was done.

Well the decision was made not to go with another stock NEO as the risk of failure again with the new EFR setup was too high! It was OK belting around the track on 300kw with the old setup but the big

Fair enough, sometimes pics don't tell the full story, and I don't doubt you would be looking for the proper solution. :thumbsup:

I'll stop stinking up Matt's build thread now.

Hmm well i have been offline for a long time and this thread is seriously lacking updates, there have been very few things happening as i have been busy with buying a house, renovating an old house and a nice old week in hospital in the middle of it all just for good measure! Ill do my best to get back up to speed with updates once i get some time!

I have had HEAPS of PM's while i have been offline and i hope i answered them all... If not, hit me up with questions :D

I have NOT fitted the seats, i will continue to work that out once i relocate! The new house has a nice new shed for the 34 to live in so it will have plenty of updates on a regular basis once we are in there, for now i am just flat out!

Just incase any of you forgot how sexy the HTA is, here is a reminder lol -

I got the GKTECH offer via email so couldnt resist grabbing one of their fans to try out, mine is the original and has some small cracks so if no improvement at least i know its a fresh fan and being black it will fit the whole theme anyway -

And the reason for being so busy, Carmen and I have purchased this new place together and cant wait to get in... I will slowly setup my workshop so the 34 will no longer sit neglected like it has lately.... The house is also the reason the car will not be attending the SAU Nationals this year, we were really looking forward to having a crack but unfortunately due to the timing i cannot do both, but i am certainly not complaining as the house is a priority for us and will allow me to have somewhere to get the car ready for future events -

We only need to complete the concrete and some small fence work and the place will be complete and exactly what we always wanted! Exciting stuff!

New house looks really nice mate. I think I'm about at that stage myself. Will fix the misfire, get my tune finished off and will keep working with my tuner to see if we can sort out the problem it has. Maybe some small things here and there, but other than that it's probably time to grow up and save for a house :/

Thanks mate, we have both been working VERY hard for the past 12mths and will continue to do so to get the place :D It will be so rewarding upgrading from what we have had for the past few years (Well 12mths for Carmen hehe)...

Will be good to get your beast finally sorted man! Good to see it getting there though :yes: its been a long road!

Yeah well I feel like it's closer to where I want it to be at least! And my tuner has taken an interest in it and is quite keen to see it running properly so I feel like it isn't a hopeless case haha.

Also, good stuff on converting to the purple side! :D I love the stuff. Not sure where you get yours from, but performancelub has the cheapest prices on it that I have found.

      Unpeeling the Orange

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
