Neck and neck with a 993 turbo, very slowly gaining on him

That was awesome, prolly would have got him good if I used 3rd instead of 4th

Old Jewish guy, just kept looking straight ahead, he didn't wanna look at me hahaha

As a rule of thumb, it is approximately 45 minutes before you begin sinking beers with us

Hope so, but knowing my luck it'll be around when it starts or after being Shanghai is 3 hours behind atm

Tony can speak Vu though

The rest of us will get shafted :P

But yeah plus 1 for mixed reviews have heard good and bad but I'll prolly end up chancing it when I respray mine because 20 year old car

Vu himself says he sprays accordingly with your budget - if you want a $7000 job it will look $7000, if you want a $3000 job he will do that too but don't expect it to look like a Continental GT

Fkin uncle

Did lol

if i wanted a 3 tonne land barge i probably would get a nissan patrol or something.

however if i wanted a sub-2 tonne land yacht (and i did) i got the gloria currently sitting in my driveway :D looking dirty like its on its way to Naru detention centre. straight off the boat.

took my friends 10mins to work out where the button for the fuel cap is. lolz.

Looking good man, not to long till it's rego'd and mods start :P

That changes very quickly...

Still remember first time I rode a bike on the road, sitting alongside a car was tripping me out. Didn't feel right being so naked and open going as fast as a car. Of course it might have helped if I was wearing clothes.

But soon speeds will feel slower on the bike than they do in cars, and then when you get a big bike you can blur time with a twist of the hand.

Booking in a track day at PI in December / early Jan.

Doing Broadford on the 14th, CSS at PI on the 15th...Might try get another PI track day in before thailand, then try get a few more in in Jan when I get back, before going back to work in Feb

That's a lot of bike riding Monica

Including Thailand

Yeh riding next to traffic freaked me out abit today. I havnt really gotten the hang of being able to see everything behind me yet..

Try tucking elbows in and point the mirrors more inward too...it's odd because the more you point mirrors in, the more you will see of yourself in them, but it still gives you a better angle to view what is directly behind you - sort of quality over quantity. You don't really need mirrors anyway, just headcheck everything, it's the safest way IMO. Rubberneckin' baby.

That's a lot of track riding. I want to do CSS but they are pretty booked out for now. Gonna just wing it at a track day and prolly break some lap records if they're lucky #46

Best way is just go fast enough you don't need to look behind

I don't think I've touched the road bike since I got the dirt bike #FIFO #needmalloo

Tyres down to the wires :( gonna need some new ones soon pretty sketchy in the wet today, think I'll just get some cheap shit

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