Jay, you can get cams licence on the day. I can't remember exactly how much it is. Its like $110 I think

Piece of piss, looks like I'll be going along then. Need to spend some time under the car as the rear is feeling a little loose, but should be good :)

And Veeto, I'd lend you mine if I wasn't using it, but.. yeah.. I am :P surely someone has one banging around?

See you lads there, looking for interim points whilst the real car is being repaired...... but will still be some serious competition.

Hopefully this time I might best you! Too bad we won't be in the same class anymore :(

Sunday 7 August - Summary

Min 4

Max 10

Shower or two.

Cloudy. Isolated showers. Winds southerly averaging 10 to 20 km/h.

If the track is patchy wet I'm going to be shitting myself... I don't mind the idea of completely wet but that's only because I will probably cruise around at 40kmph.. Perhaps my stock boat will do okay in the wet?

Dropping in my money today, will see how it goes :)

Your driving style is so silky smooth Jay I wouldn't worry about getting loose. thumbsup.gif

My exuberant driving style on the other hand... I may actually spend more time sideways than not.

gahaha, silky smooth at 40kmph is easy mate ;) I was thinking of getting a rug for the back window and a driving hat...

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
