and rick... i reckon it is a top idea to stay on street tyres....

the street machines white 32 is faster on streets than on slicks due to the fact that with slicks there is NO wheelspin in a 4WD and the motor bogs badly! with street tyres and Altessa there is a nice balance between slip and grip and they go HARD on street tyres.... although a big Exhaust system on that monsta would be a help..... and a HKS 30/37 Kit...... and a Trust Fuel rail....... and Microtech computer..... wait where were we..... yes stay with the street tyres... you'll be quicker and save yourself $$$ when you break stuff....

however 2WD is a different kettle of fish.....

the day that Squizz gets slicks (and a piston.... he he) is the day he runs 11's cause the morose slide states that it is and therefore it will....

and matt if you can go fast as a GTR on street tyres in a VL on STREET TYRES.... i'll give you the silvia to drive cause you must be a gun driver.... all fast 2WD cars run slicks... and that's not cause they are gay... it is cause they want to go fast.... I wish I had enough horsepower to require slicks...

so who is going to the next Day night major anyway....

it looks like it should be a top field with all the brissy guys coming up....

I'll probably come to be embarrased by some real gtr's but I was hoping to get more boost and dump pipes and cat removal by then but now some scumbag keyed the gtr while I was at the movies and of course i parked where the camera can't see, I thought they had more than one.

      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.
