Thanks to everyone who stayed back & helped clean up at the end of the day, I saw a few of you guys helping to pick up all the bits of shredded rubber as we were packing up :thumbsup:

Was a good day out! Perfect weather and great company. Had a fun time spectating. Loved seeing all the nice cars! Thanks to the organisers for a great day and yummy lunch. I'm looking forward to the next one. May even join in next time :-)

Thanks for a great day out guys and to the organisers for putting on an awesome event!

Hahahaha, I was hoping someone caught that on film!!

After that "run" though, she developed a slight knock, so I had to pack it in early...

Keep the pics/vids flowing!! :woot:

This thing looked and sounded incredible and went like the clappers! Reminded me of my old 33R looks wise (but would have about twice the power!)

And thanks Aggro for the ride. :) Looks like everyone had a great time.

So.

This is my video I made with the new Sony Action Camera (massive promo there, shut up)

It's not up in 720p yet, but that'll come soon enough.

Next Texi I think I'll have a plan before I go as for footage - will try and get more people's cars too!

Here's a few of my snaps from the day. It was sure nice to be able to take some time to enjoy the day - again thank you helpers!

Also wanted to thank the entrants that helped us set up and tear down. It is really great of you folks to pitch in and makes it all that much easier for those of us that come to work at every one of these.

    • 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!
    • 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.
    • 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.
