lol yeah.. seeing at night isn't its' best attribute.. here's some more night stuff!

It has an exhaust now but probably needs a centre muffler.. I swear it's louder than with just the dump/front pipe!

Had a hiccup with the ECU which was causing it to be ridiculously rich, fouled the plugs pretty quickly. Got my mate around to fix it while we were doing the exhaust, loaded up the laptop to make a couple of changes then she fired straight up and immediately sounded MUCH healthier. Still got intermittent lifter noise, I'm hoping it disappears. Got a slow water leak somewhere, will get it up on the hoist on Tuesday to check everything out.

Just drove from Padbury to Balcatta, to Ashfield, to Hazelmere and back to Ashfield and each leg it felt better and better. To the point where on the last couple of legs I let it hit a bit of boost (2.8psi lol) and it was such a tease driving home in the rain!

It felt so good to finally drive the old girl again! BIG thanks to chuckie and a select few others for their help through this trying time :P:cheers::banana:

FLAME-AGE i want to c FLAME-AGE

This is OLD flamage..

When I get the old girl running a bit better (turbo is MUCH bigger than it was so very wary bringing it on boost until I can log the wideband in nistune) I'll get some new flame footage.. I certainly do love a rich decel :D

Tried to negotiate a friends driveway.

Snapped my front bar clean off :(

And then my number plate fell off too because it snapped out one of the mounting nuts

Oh hey.

Any of you lovely 32 owners have a spare gtst or gts stock ecu?

Need one to be able to be able to get some fault codes to diagnose without expensive dyno time.

Been getting high knocks fairly low down in the rpm range and it's really sporadic, jumping from 60 to well over 100 at times with no audible noise backing up the knock claim.

A retarding of the timings resulted in no change whatsoever, that's taking 4 to 5 degrees of timing out when the boost gets to full.

The logic behind this is to find out if the knock sensor is faulty.

If that is the case, I'm definitely going to book more dyno tuning time because the only reason we didn't get it above 280rwhp last time is because of the knock count :rolleyes:

So, anyone?

Could buy it off you, or just borrow. Would only need it for a week or a fortnight max.

Just think of it as a blessing to the world... Like a ugly person committing suicide haha

Im starting to see it as a blessing because now if I crash it at Collie I won't be so disappointed if it gets destroyed.

How much did you pay for your gtr front bar Simon?

      The Evolution Of "night Fury"

      By jez NF · Posted

      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!

      Unpeeling the Orange

      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!
