This snorkel template is shite. I don’t wanna drill the guard haha
Is it round? Masking tape the paint. Put the 1/4" hole through first before the holesaw so it doesn't grab and pull on the thin metal. A 1/4" shaft in the holesaw will be better than a drill to stop wandering. Hold the drill at the required angle, high pressure low revs. trefolex rtd or any lube. Whalla. Quality holesaw and arbour a must.
morning kunce!!!
 
So, today is the 20th wedding anniversary (insert joke here about less time served if I had murdered instead of married etc)
apparently 20th is China, so the decision is, intercooler or pit bike?
Congrats dale, we hit the 20th this year, f'ing long time mate. By chance availability and what not I married the wife on her birthday. 1 gift to rule them all. Never forget because my mum msgs me All birthdays a week before;-) show us your mum;-)
U can still get them cheap if ur willing to buy a bit of a dog. I look at around 10 cars befor i brought my last one. Im in no rush so il do the same again till i find a yellow one

Came with a hole saw. Ran a 1/4 pilot them bam!

Drilled through the template slowly then added more pressure as it went through metal. Paint all good right up to the edge

This thread appears to get the most WA Traffic 

anyone selling some 275 / 40 / 17 drag radials in WA, prefer Mickey Thompson ETs 

also after a set of 33 GTR rims, or any legit jap rams in 17x9 +20 or so 

 

Cheers,

Just whoop ass Wednesday mate, 

 

I don't live in Australia, however I am back for a few weeks shortly so wanted to give it a nudge on radials. 

Have had josh at Galvsport doing some testing while i am OS. 

So plan is to do a pass on the AD08s to match Josh's time 

Racewars 

then bolt radials on to see how we go.  

Result from Josh's testing below

We went away last week and the fridge in our van held food for 3 days plus a bottle of champagne and 40 beers.

Should be big enough I reckon



Trying to plan a shake down 2 night stay thinking Collie end of March and take the pups got any hidden spots I should know about?

Glen Mervyn dam, Minninup pool (and sandy bay right next door)

Mebbe even head out towards the power station and take a look at Stockton Lake?

However -  there is a track running from the highway (before the cemetry..) near the biblimum track called "Collie Scenic Drive" that takes you along the river towards the back of Collie towards minninup pool etc, and it has a crapload of perfect little camping/marroning/swimming spots. Dunno why its not better signposted, just watch out for dudes on dirt bikes :)

    • 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.
