DRU:

That looks absolutely beatiful mate. Congratulations. I agree with nick, turbolight 4100 is a cheap oil, for cheap turbo cars. A GTR is not a cheap car. Give it to a mate and get ye some motul 300V, also heard that royal purple is good sh1t but I've never personally used it.

pred was talking about the 15yo rule coming to an end, not your car! :(

Enjoy it.

DRUZILLA THATS AWESOME!!  

Interior pics?!

What auction grade was it, who did you import through, how much has it costed so far?

Those pics are inspirational.

Damn I really want mine now :(

auction grade was 3.5

would have been 4, but it had an aftermarket dial cluster.. so only got 3.5.

i went through j-spec.. i have a whole thread on another site about my import experience.. it even states what my bids were for one gtrs and how much i lost the austion by etc.. i will post the link here if anybody want to read it

yeah.. the price of gtrs at the start of the thread compared to the price of gtrs at the end.. there is quite a big difference.. i missed out a few times and i ended up paying more for the gtr i have now.. but im still very happy with it

The world will end in 8 days..

no - seriously, just Jan 1st will more than likely be the annoucement that the end of the 15 year rule is made official.. that's what everybody seems to be saying - so no more cheap 1989 such as this.

Whoever got a good car for a great price I reckon congrats whilst the going was good, otherwise too late.

should also change the attessa fluid, in the resovoir in the rear drivers side quarter panel.

It needs to be drained and bled at two points but it is really quite easy, just follow the instructions in the GTR workshop manual, I was told Dexron III is ok to use. I bought a 4 litre pack and those lines are definitely clean now, I had to get a lot of air out of my lines.

P.S. just check those subframe bushes (4 in total) on the rear just behind the drivers and passengers doors for the telltale silicon leaks. you can go several ways if they need replacing including new bushes from noltec in sydney. I just did mine in my R32 GTS4 and a friend had his done in a GTR, so they are something to watch out for, not cheap if you have to pay for it to be done.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?

      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

      By MBS206 · Posted

      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!
