You laugh now, but when I'm at a formal occasion with a shitty DJ and they need someone to drop Dre beats...I have something up my sleeve.

So... I'm thinking I had a few drinks tonight.

ended up watching fast and the furious for the first time in many many years.

first off I was surprised just how much I noticed compared to first time, ie crappy parts (mainly sparco) that I would never put on my car.

then I started thinking just how do you end up in the "scene" ie how did you end up getting into jap cars and modifying them, as 10 years ago I was all into US muscle, hell still like it but yeah.

first experience I had with Jap cars, one of the guys I worked with took me out to a MCCR "street race night in his heavy modified MkIV supra.

one thing lead to another and I've spent way too much on playing with cars since...

so what got everyone else into the addiction?

Always kinda had an interest in all sorts of cars as a kid, for some reason Jap cars I remember always drew me in a bit differently, then all that FnF/Hot4's/NFSU(I was what 11-13 gimme a break :P) shit was big and I guess that moulded my thoughts a bit more then it's just grown and grown from around there.

This is why whenever I take people up my mountain run, I drill it into their heads to stick to the left of the road and not take the racing line. Too many cars go half a metre over the line on a tight corner. Sometimes you just can't avoid it though...

Used to be into 4x4's until I was what 11 or 12 when I first saw a car flying past with distinctive taillights - it was a MP 33 GTR. As I grew older with introduction of Autosalon mags and shows, FnF etc, bought first car which was a Patrol with 30ET inside (it hauled real good) thinking I'm still into 4x4's. After I'd sold the Patrol and rest is history.

Wouldn't say I'm addicted...

But I had seen the odd R33 on the road as a kid and always thought they looked cool. Then mates in year 11 properly got me into Jap cars with their talk of Supras and 180s. Then a mate with a Civic on his Ls introduced me to MCCR. Then I saw a 180sx cruising on the road with a CV8 Monaro (they were new at the time) and I was like...I have to have one. Parents said no :(

      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.
