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.

I just got a cheap second-hand Logitech GT. Not as nice as a G27 but can't complain for $60.

If you and Michael compete next week, should be a pretty full grid. Can keep me company at the back of the pack :P

Best thing I did was focus on setup and tweaking FOV to suit my sitting distance from the screen. Really helped me judge braking distances

Leroy is right about setup. Brake setup is uber important when its a fixed setup race too ;)

Playing a little bit with FOV am i right in assuming for a single 70" about 1.5meters away i should basically be using low as fark 45FOV? I think i need to sit closer lol.

From my brief research looks like single monitor = 45-60ish and triple much higher correct?

That was the preference but

Last communication to RP was to keep me regularly updated on free spaces in the workshop

2 months later still nothing

I'll pass

No hard feelings from me, but it ain't hard to send a weekly email or knock back the work and say try again in 3 months or something...stringing along is wasting everyone's time when my engine could be getting built right now

They obviously get enough work from their loyal motorsport customers and need to service them as a priority which is fine, but I need to get this thing on the road

Took 2.5 hours to drive from sunbury to rowville this arvo.

Mostly due to the Burnley tunnel having a lane closed to half of it for no reason at all.

And then this weekend is going to be spent cursing at the astra.

Yeah, the owner and chef are mates of mine.

I went when it was a popup for a week on the rooftop of an apartment building on bourke st and it was amazing.

If jimmy & josh can keep up that quality then it will be number 1 without fail

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
