Hey Guys!

Just thought ide get a little sentimental and congratulate you all on being good guys!

its refreshing to read these forums and finding everyone getting along, helping each other, not bitching about other people and businesses.

Boostcruising.com seems to be full of it!

im getting all teary and shit :' )

Good work :)

Ant.

You should stop wrecking that R33 and join us in our complete and utter awesomeness at the track day :D but yeah, I agree it's really nice to see a forum where not every post is having a go at the post directly above it. Nice place to hang out :)

Haha, the R33 has had a pretty hard shunt in the front end, better off parting it out!

but maybe i can hang out with my baby skyline?

its a onevia but has a 26/30, so its half way there :P

when is the track day? maybe Funz will let me take his out :D

The track day is on the 12th (next sunday), there's a thread floating around on the first page somewhere. Would be good to see you there, been trying to get Kyle out there as well but since those f*%ks torched his car I don't think there's much chance of that :(

You can bring what ever you want, some dude there last time had a Starion :P Plus it'd be great to meet you.

You should get the Wreck Broomhall has which has a shunt in the side and combine them! lol pirate.gif

Thinners in a small bucket with rags is far less messy than paint stripper :wave:

problem solved! it seems the warp speed button was flicked to *engage*

na but seriously, vent holes in my bonnet were letting way too much water (pissed down yesterday) hit on my airflow metres causing the power fc to say shutdownski

    • 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.
