Yes I am.

I had decided to go nitto invo, called up earlier to make sure they had stock and they dont :( they have offered me yokohama advan sport v103 for $210ea which I think is pretty reasonable. So unless someone has had a bad experience and can tell me to stay away that's what I will be going with

Did you try St George Tyres for the invo's?

They are listed on FleaBay now so hopefully have stock. Cheaper on their web site though, showing the 245/45/18's at $175 each (bargain!).

Like the Dunlops Dale mentioned, they too can be rotated onto any corner which is great for wear.

Gave them a call they do have stock. $185 fitted and balanced. Might give them a go then

How do you find the throttle cable. Have you had any ecu issues following this mod. This is one mod I would like to achieve next

Josh is running a full "Wire in" Adaptronic ECU now; This would be near on impossible on an OEM ECU.

I'd rather see Adaptronic support the OEM throttle, so it can be made to operate in a completely linear fashion (what you ask for at the pedal; you get at the TB).

Then it will be a complete solution.

As dale said you will need a full after market ecu. There has been no issues as yet. Quite a fan of it. The only negative some people may have is that the gear uses the throttle through the standard ecu to control it. What this means is that in auto mode it uses speed to change gears rather then throttle and engine. The positive side though is that it doesn't hunt around for gears on the freeway etc which I love. Also with my combination it shift faster then if does normally. Manually the car drives heaps better.

So will it actually kick down in auto at all?

Are Adaptronic interested in properly integrating the OEM throttle, or have they not been approached about it?

It will kick down via manual mode, or as if goes down to lower speeds it changes down automatically.

Craigs was tuned using the standard throttle

First impressions? I guess you haven't had much of a chance to try them out properly.

Yeah I haven't been for a proper drive yet. And had wheels in the back I didn't want flying around the car. But I can say they feel super smooth and are very quiet.

Hopefully get to drive it a but more tomorrow. The big test will be launches at the track on Wednesday

well the first night at the drags since being tuned wasn't a success, but i thought i would post a video here anyway.

the car had two issues, one that it wouldnt build boost on the line and second was hte gear box was over heating (tranny cooler will be fitted very soon) so it was changing up gear by itself and not holding in third like i told it to.

Best time 13.8 170km/h

    • 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.
