.....dammit...why do all these things happen when I have no money.....again f**k you GFC and making me loose 2 jobs this year

Alvin...you are not allowed to strip the car until next year!!!!

ahahahahahaha, if i can fix the left indicator blowing fuses today, i might just hold the car till rego runs out. lol.

otherwise, i'm butchering her today.

as for cheapie china manifolds, if he can weld the cracks, no problem!

looking good zebra, cant wait to see it finished.

you're not fussed about using cheapy china manifold and it cracking in time?

Cheers, China manifold isnt permanent, just needed to get the car going asap....Will go fancy everything down the track

If you have a aftermarket stereo in the car I can guarantee that is what is causing your issues, Headunit/amp and indicator wiring all run off the same plug under the head unit

well, yeah, headunit's aftermarket, there's some aftermarket sub in it, but i have no idea where it is. LOL.

and, issue was that the bulb's casing itself is f**ked.

zebra what happened to you rc engine store?

Its still there but nothing happening with it :(

ah that sucks

Sub will be in the parcel shelf in the middle, factory fitted 10" jobbie, sits under the same cloth covered thing-o that holds the rear middle brake light

I was thinking yesterday that there is no way this engine has 230,000ks on it.

It is way too clean inside..the water jackets look way to clean...like brand new....not a hint of stain on them...the engine has definitely been out of the car before and the sump has non factory looking sealant on it...wonder if it has had some epic rebuild and I find a set of JUN rods and pistons lol??

here is hoping.

Either way it gives me confidence to lean on it with the new turbo

mine has 203k kms

I think Toyota engines in general always seem clean inside. I changed the waterpump in my IS200, inside the radiator and the water pump housing (whole cooling system) were like new. My car has done just under 200,000km.

Comparing it to my Skyline (130,000km) and Bluebird (300,000km??? ODO stopped working years ago) - Thier cooling systems seem sh*t, even with changing coolant every year.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • 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? 
    • 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!
