But I'll try to come down for a look and to cheer you on Roy. Just don't break the car again before PI. Actually, you sure you don't want to wait til AFTER PI before you try this mate?

Im just going to go down ...walk it off the line and do soft shifts. I just want to see the sort of mph the car does and see if the diff is open wheeling. Ill be taking it very easy and only running 10-12psi until i get the thing into 3rd then ill give it a hit :P

Red...your car sounds tasty... any details. Massive brakes? Cool!..110mph? Cool!  Is it a 15yr jap jobbie, modded local delivery?  

I like Series IV/V RX7s, almost bought one but where i lived at the time stopped me as the locals would have stolen it in a matter of weeks:(

if you passed year 10 and can read then you will see that i am going out for dinner for her birthday not going to a party

you obviously don't have a girlfriend or any form of commitment in your life, so go stand by your 'sick' POS car and relieve yourself :whackit:

I'm a huge fan of rotors aswell. I was looking at a Series 6 RX7 at the same time I bought my GTR. Figured the R would be a better all round car.

The other path I looked at instead of buying the R was to drop a series 4 13B Turbo into my Gemini and do that up some more, but it just doesn't have the street cred of the GTR. Although I don't imagine it would have been hard to get that into the 10's with a diff, computer and some turbo work.

Anyway I will be happy to line up against anyone who feels they need to beat a GTR to give themself cred. I will be shifting easy too, as I dont want to have the same fate as Snowie and Ferni.

    • 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.
