Lol I don't mind fuel stops. I won't make it past 250km lol

And in the past couple of ears of being with SAu Vic, I don't think we attract popo attention.

Guess we aren't baller enough(which is a good thing)

Probably. As I'm aware those permits are only served as a purpose to get the car to and from fixing and not for any other reason.

By all means you can sign up and bring another car! Lol but if u bring the GTR, than youre doing so at your own will

Yeah I guess I better not risk it. I think I'll hold off and sign up at the dyno day if that goes ahead.

wow 20-40 for some reason in my head I was thinking this was huge, like 100+ cars!! Im sure itll still be a tonne of fun. any police trouble in the past??

It has been 50+ in the past, depends on the day really.

As for Police - it's like the rain - don't talk/think/worry about it and it won't happen.

On the topic of fuel, with the price of 98 hitting $1.70 recently how does the cost of E85 compare? Does it move up in price with 98 or is it getting better and better to run E85?

e85 has gone up to $1.20 or $1.30 iirc

Also burns quicker so you get less out of your tank

IIRC an E85 Tune uses 30% more than PULP... so It would effectively be like $1.25 x 1.3 = $1.63/L, you'll get more power but you'll be filling up a lot more often and not all servo's (country, near tracks, etc) have it.

The perfect way to ruin a good day..............besides running out of fuel in the middle of the great ocean road....

The police do monitor the GOR, but on our SAU Vic cruises down there, we've never had trouble with them. Never had a bunch of cars pulled over for defecting/hassling. In the time I've driven it, I've only seen one fellow get in trouble...but he didn't slow down for the 60 zone upon entering a town and got pulled over by himself. That's the advantage of being on an SAU Vic cruise...the police tend not to hassle us because we do things properly with CAMS permits and have zero tolerance for bullshit behaviour. So you all have nothing to worry about, just make sure you double check the speedo going through the local towns, cause they do monitor them!

Best are the roads back via the Otways! Have a good trip if I don't make it!

    • 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.
