:banana: Good stuff mate. :banana:

Theres a shop in Fyshwick across from Ali Baba.

They have some real nice car seats.

Skylines are really sht in a crash, get the best/safest seat you can.

Its nice to see your missus has the nous to drive a Skyline, i had to get a Volvo for mine, to be safe.

Mine is 3 and i cant get my 32 out without him, or he cracks a sht. And he loves the boost.

Ps: Do all your maintenance now, there will be no time later........ :thumbsup:

Yeah I think to begin with we'll be using her legnum to cart the baby around, once he/she is a bit older and I get a good seat then it'll be skyline cruising time with the bub.

If its a boy he'll be wolf whistling out the window on northbourne in no time.... If girl, I'll be putting down a deposit on a shotgun :P

Legnum... whoops i thought it was another 34.

Looks nice. :yes:

Gotta pull my fuel tank out again, fumes in the cabin.

Ive fked with this a couple of times now, im going to seal up the whole rear end with foam and silicon.

And put an extraction fan in the parcel shelf.

And the tank will get re- sealed and new hoses. Again.

If that doesnt fix it ill have to take it to Trojan or something for help.

before you give up, it may well be an exhaust leak not a fuel leak, especially when they are cold and rich the smell is very similar. check the manifold, dump and zorst for leaks around the gaskets. and also issues with sealing between the engine bay and cabin

I think 4th is slipping. There is more RPM than power when in 4th, it feels as if the RPM still going up but the car isn't moving forward to match it. Is this the case?

You can try launching the car in 3rd or 4th. Not high revs and drop clutch though, just a normal launch.. If you don't stall then clutch is going

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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!

      Chris' Toyota Mark ii JZX110

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
