Yeh, when I first went for a ride in a car with RPM modified Teins I went out the next week and bought some and sent them off to RPM. They are damn good things and suspect its all in the valving more than the spring rates.

Had to grab a second pair when I went GTR rear cradle and got the chance to do another set...largely the reason why my thing even as a rwd car cant blazed 2nd gear with 330rwkws...just traction and hooks up!

What sized rim are you running? Thought of throwing some Carrera Cup slicks at it?

i have thought about the slicks but have been too lazy to put some on

Come to my joint

Bring six pack

And you can have a look while I drink beer

Will do. How far is your place from WA?

Struggling to understand why the F/R rate differential. Should hook up with that soft a rear spring. Just worried youd never get on the gas because of the front rate?

Why the rear is a lot softer than the front? You need the car to squat to get the power down.

No you dont. Not in a GTR on the track. Maybe for drags and maybe for rally style stuff where you cant carry all the corner speed that is available but not for the track. The thing that kills you is understeer, not lack of traction. A large F/R spring rate differential makes the car push.

ill ever get a alignment for the next track day and maybe adjusted slightly to take into account my 140kg girth

You've slimmed down?

New filters in still missing

Compression test showed 160,158, 150, 138, 135, 160

Ill try some new plugs and coils just to make sure then it's off to dvsjez to have the fuel pressure checked and protection added to the haltech

Might be time for the new motor

So this pos is now booked in to Jez to get some new engine love on the 18th

So hopefully it will be back with additional compression

New engine has som e cool shit

big sump

front lsd

hks 2530

port match manifolds

hks dump pipes

some cams

cam gears

nizmo plenum

Hks ic

Ill also get the egt sensors installed and some fuel pressure protection

Then book it into a few track days

    • 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.
