Interesting colour. keen to see finished product :)

Pentroof style nice

Yeah it will come together nicely. its going to be somewhat of a chess board in the engine bay lol.

I actually never saw the Pentroof style before you mentioned it lol. but I do like it.

Currently just chasing up the Jun oil pump as they are out of stock until end of December.... so a part change is a possibility said to maybe look at Reimax, HKS or Nismo Oil pump.... Thanks for the suggestion on the oil pump ForceFED ;) lol.

I need to talk to Daniel-San re-Nismo oil pump actually. Reimax is probably the "best" bang for buck pending information about nismo item. :thumbsup: I'll keep you posted on my findings

Yeah I spoke to dan, he said to me the pump is 1 of the only things he is waiting on to put it back together.

I suggested Nismo, HKS, and Reimax but as my alternatives.

My concern is that the Nismo is made in the same factory as the N1s.... thus having crappy material...

I do know the Tomei, Nitto and Greddy pumps have been breaking so they are not an option.....

It's not a matter of where. More what it's made from mate :P

Ummmm arent the Nitto pumps breaking their gears? from my understanding Dan is pressing me to get 1 made in Japan over 1 made in china like the Tomei or Nitto....

I'm just going by what Dan is telling me lol after all If he doesn't trust the pumps then they mustn't be worth the risk. I'd say the jun is still the option sadly with the month and half wait for it to be made

2 Nitto pumps are documented to have failed as of a month or 2 back. Both oil pump drive related from what I gathered.

Just caught wind of this. Have not heard anything about these failed pumps (which I normally would being an Aussie manufacturer) and if this is so I would be keen to hear about it. Can you enlighten me?

Ahhk, I remembered someone saying they were cast OS (was probably yourself that said it) Just assumed China

Going a little off topic now...but when are you guys releasing 1JZ rods and/or a stroker kit (for those of us weird people who dont want to put a 2J in their car :whistling:

Pistons not a drama at all. Would be a custom order though as not shelf stock but this can be good as exact specs required can be factored in. I do HEAPS of custom pistons.

Email me at [email protected] if you want any info.

Sorry for hijack..

    • Seat of the pants assessment of the new intake: The car is way less "doughy" when hitting the loud pedal, especially off idle when stopped or in traffic, I did use a cheapo lazer thermal thingo to measure the temp around where the pod filter got its air, it was between 55 - 60°C, in saying this the car was shut off and not moving, so the OEM intake pipe was not supplying any fresh air to where the pod was when the car was at least moving A weird bonus was induction noise on the throttle in the cabin increased a bit,  I was worried that I was actually going to lose some of that induction noise I love so much, outside though, when I got the daughter to do a WOT drive by pass for me, the induction noise has increased alot when on the throttle, not quite ITB doort, but well up there I'm extremely happy with the results and have been exploring the country roads in the region  As for house mods: 1.New front fence is up and is awesome, it really upgraded how the joint looks from the street, and the added security is nice 2. Electricians have replace some interior lights, and with more lighting in the garage, a few new motion detecting lights out the front above the garage, front room, and at the front door, which I have already found heaps helpful coming and going, also now has fancy pants CCTV all round the house The only hold point for power though is the solar and batteries due to supply issues, although this will happen over the next few weeks 3. I have done a heap of landscaping out the front and I'm almost ready to do a new small retaining wall with some nice blocks to replace the brick and cemented in rocks around the raised garden beds cemented in river stone "was the fashion at the time" the house was built. I currently have a pallet of retaining wall blocks and 2 bulka bags of 20mm blue metal to replace the wood chip that is in the raised garden beds around the house 4. I now have 3 big raised garden beds for out the back to grow some vegetables, about 70cm high, 200cm long and 100cm wide 5. My 2 compost bins are already pretty full with brown, green and kitchen waste from the landscaping I'vedone so far, but they will probably take a few months to break down, so anything else that gets chopped, trimmed, and kitchen waste will just start filling the base of the raised garden beds to about 30cm before I start throwing 40cm of good compost, and stuff, for the vegetables to grow in, I'll need a few ton of compost and soil, but the local supplier can sent me bulka bags of the stuff Basically the logs, wood chips and a few strategically placed rocks for drainage, will give the beds some good organic materials down low to break down over time, and they will hold moisture during the warmer months to save the water in my big arse water tank if we don't get alot of rain So, all in all, the car and house mods are going well, and I'm really enjoying being retired, I sleep in too 0700 and slowly plod around inside until I feel like actually doing anything, and only work in the yard for as long as want, which has actually been alot over the last few weeks,  although when you look at it, it seems that not a huge amount of work has been done,  until I look at the before I started the work pics Happy days and good times indeed 
    • hahaha yeah. Plan is to get side skirts and probably just rear pods. But going to do them one-by-one. I've got a set that I really like from RHDJapen, but that one isn't shipped to AU. So need to find someone who can get it for me
    • Here's an idea, answer the questions I asked you as they are trying to work out WHY the LSD will be binding up in a straight line.
    • You haven't driven many modern cars then have you? Most of them have sfa steering feel with their stupid electric bullshit steering systems.
