Well the set up is complete

booked for 5/12/14 Mick at Ovaboost will be tuning the car.Have gone with totally different parts from what I originally planned.Sold most things i had.As of now these are the mods

-gt3082 1.06 rear

-high mount steam mani

-50mm pro gate

-750cc bosch injectors

-Aftermarket front facing plenum

-bosch fpr

-Splitfires

-bigger throttle

-Haltech platinum pro

-pro flow fittings all around

-plus more

I'll post up photo of engine bay when im on comp.im expecting big power and the haltech is able to do alot of great things

Yes and it has alot of features too, boost can be controlled by the ecu using a mac, launch control & no need for afm . Engine bay looks really mint. One thing I've learnt Is that buy parts that you're going to use 110% well most things always don't go your way:/.

Here are photos. I went with blue. Tuner will do welding & other fabrication needed.

wow crazy how time flew by and life got busy.Qualified in my field of work, travelled the world ( including jdm land) & matured up etc. I was just 19 when i bought my 33, reading back i can see how excited i was! now 28 still excited but rational! kept the 33 till 2020,plenty of events attended and i enjoyed that car, met and made alot of friends, been to world time attack, gtr festival,racewars,tokyo autosalon, snowy mountains 1,000 & plenty of other events. Bought a 32 gtr back in 2016 that car ended up making 600whp on e85 did powercruise and was a solid street car, ultmately threw a rod (typical rb26 stuff). Sold the 33 to finish off my 32 gtr build, Nitto 3.2 stoker kit cnc ported head, samsonas rs90, precision 7675, emtron ecu,mechanical fuel pump aiming for 1200+8sec. Gtr build isnt far off  being done. Cant thank everyone enough for the replies, the little knowledge helped me alot to venture into other things. Now i can pull out an engine, pull it apart and put it all back into a car etc. I'll do a final post for the R33 with photos before i sold it. If you would like to follow the gtr build its on insta under 90s_hero_32. The car scene has changed alot, everyone is car enthusiast apparently & you must respect them even with a junk build filled replicas, china spooly boy. SAU keeps the egos down compared to other socials.

    • 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.
