Hey guys just wanted to get your thoughts on what i should be looking at next for my car in terms of modifications..

i already have the following..

- Full 3" sports exhaust

- HKS FMIC

- Tien D150 coil overs

- RDA slotted rotors front and rear

- DENSO 50mm Hi-Flow fuel pump

- New coils from a GTR S1 (there the same as gtst -.-)

- New ignitor

- HKS mushroom air filter

Thats about it i think. I want to focus on power and reliablity as the car is a daily driver that hits the track every now and then.

Im more looking into getting a new ECU.. unfortunantly there is no nistune for this model so id like to know if you guys have found any decently

priced ecu systems.. the car atm is running verry rich... not that i have had it checked you can smell it..

Any thoughts and ideas are welcome

P.S if anyone knows of any maitenance tips that are often forgotten could you fill me in just want my car to be as fresh and healthy as it can be thanks. =D

ebc>>>evc>>>depends on who makes it. Electronic Vacuum Controller.

Nothing wrong with the mushroom, its fine as long as you have the triple layer dry element. Best unit for your AFM, no oil to get sucked in and contaminate. And contrary to what people say, they don't leak, they have a good seal and a much better filter setup than the unifilter wet type which are single layer filters.

yes ive had my bad terms with wet filters took the car to three mechanics cost me around $1800 to fix. The car was stalling and getting flat spots. so they said was fuel pump changed that didnt fix the problem then we changed ignitor cas and coils still the same problem got the shits after the third mechanic so i called up irwin who workes for skyline spares in wetheral park nsw. he went in his shop came out with another afm said try that instant fix man told me never to use a wet filter the AFM is verry sensitive...

though evcer since i got the fuel pump done ive had trouble starting it well atleast i think it was after the fuel pump i didnt have the car for 3 weeks had all these mechanics tinkering with it... dont get me wrong she starts but its verry hard drives fine

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
