Jarrad: I'm living in Shell Cove now (Again), up in my tiny little area we have 2x GTRs (Black, and a White one), I think it's 3 GTS-t (Excluding my two!), and I think it's 2x 180SX... And I'm in a very small little area up near Killelea. You just rarely see them.

wow! i only ever saw a black 33 hooning around last summer, and i was going in and out a lot with friends and just doing stuff.

p.s my sister is building a house up there, just bought the block haha.

its like 550 square metre, mines only 410 so sounds alright.

i think the problem is the houses are so big it makes the blocks look tiny.

seriously though... who needs like 3 living spaces for 2 people? i dont get it haha, lived there my whole life, moved to newcastle, bought a house, loving life.

Yeah, it's rare to see them driving around, I'm just a little bit observant of what people have in their driveways/garages as I drive past. I'm very curious like that. LOL

The place I used to live in had a house very close to us that had from memory two hoists in it, on top of them were two old school Pontiacs. LOL

haha nah its a running joke that shellcove has small blocks, 550 is a big one i think?

also lego land because all the houses look heaps similar hahaha

You need to check out my place, epic sized house, 3 car garage, and even a decent sized rear yard! (Which annoys me a bit... It takes time to mow :P )

I worked on a house the other day which was set on a massive 319sm block, I don't think it's the big houses making the block look small but the small blocks make the houses look big

yeah I'd agree it looks like he came down the hill left around the corner back stepped out to far to catch and off it goes, either way sad see another GTR down

I seen him aswell and also seen a bike there with him I think it was a r1??? Than the bike followed the tow truck??

Poor fella

When I came through, there was just a UC sitting behind the GTR with his lights flashing and an ambo behind it.

There were a couple of people standing around looking at the car and talking (Copper included), didn't look like any arrests being made or anything. I'd hazard a guess the R1 came down to pick someone up, or something similar.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      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

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
