What's happening ?

So one of my major supliers sends me my stock order every Thursday from Sydney and it gets in the following Tuesday. On the day of despatch (today) they send me through all the invoices of the stuff that has left. So on Tuesday I ordered 4 shock absorbers for a customer, today when my stock order is leaving or has already left they send me an email saying the front shocks are basically no longer available but they already billed out the rears and sent them to me, wtf? So I've replied and told them that the rears are useless without the fronts and don't send me the rears.

So at least now it's their problem! But still, you couldn't tell me this on Tuesday or Wednesday? Useless bastards.

Need a hug lachy?

Yes :P

I finish Sunday, but Monday-Friday is gonna be packed with painting last 2 rooms and other little improvements.

Then need to put some racking in the new shed and move some crap into it. Be good to have space around the 33 to breathe

Have a family get together in 2 weeks in perth probably around midland/swan view. Hoping to get a child seat restraint sorted and do its first family trip.

Wife has done about 4kms in it since 2009. Need to pull speakers and see if holes are already in 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.
