Chucked some wheels on I had laying around till my 19's rock up from japan

Tures arent the right size for a 35 but just what I had.

Fronts Work VS-KF 18x9+9 (15mm spacer so -4 effective) and Work euroline XR 18x9.5+8 with some 275/35 I had no use for

I haven't done anything to my car recently apart from gearbox/clutch/flywheel which was fun....

next on my list new rotors and pads, then to save my pennies for some Motordyne goodies.

I finally got my Tomei headers on, no issues with the steering column :)

Gained 6kws haha Nothing crazy dyno wise but can definitely feel/hear the difference :) (Now I have Tomei headers > Berk HFC's > TDX2)

Got the headers and retune done at ECC (East Coast Customs), great guys!

Also off topic, whilst I was there a supercharged 350Z made 284kws on the dyno, the charger sounded crazy loud

double like.

nothing big but I fitted a grounding kit on my car last night...improved transmission straight away. so much smoother and lag reduced greatly. really happy with the kit!

Gratuitous rim shot...

Picked up the rims Thursday, Pirelli P Zeros on Friday lunch, rims on Friday night.

BC coils and SPL arms in next.

But not before i finish this damn stereo. Have been driving for a month in total silence. Got the sub in last night.....but nothing connected to amp yet.

How good is the VQ with headers. Got mine done through them also. Got a vid up?

Why would there be issues with the steering column?

Tomei are Japanese and Japanese cars are RHD in case you hadn't noticed :P

Haven't really had chance to drive the car much only had a miserable rainy drive on the highway back home. Unsure if there will be a video, the video doesn't really do the exhaust note any justice

Here's my first dyno run a few weeks back when I didn't have extractors (Berk HFC, TDX2):

I checked with Tomei USA if the headers they sold in the USA were the same as the ones sold in Japan, which they are but until they were installed I was still a little unsure :/

    • Mixing things up - installed some leather recaros to match the leather seat covered rear seats. Interior looks pretty schmick now except for some slight wear on the steering wheel which I will monitor and address if it becomes worse or actually noticeable!  
    • Didnt realise RB's had more then 1 head.
    • 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!
