Sorry to mention names agian...

But you all prob remember me having that lil drama with my suspension not too

long ago...

For those who dont know... i got new suspension fitted, and 1mths after, the front control arm colapsed... (long story short)

well when i took it back to get fixed the fixed it all up, and told me they checked all the other bolts just incease they were loose..

well there has been a loud sqeak coming from my rear recently, and been pissen me off... i checked it out today, and found that one of thr control arm bolts were loose... ANOTHER ONE!

i let them go with the last prob, as they fixed it all up with no hassel... but obviously not...

NOT HAPPY!

i had my suspension setup by chris at inline last week, full coil overs and sway bars. i've got a massive squeak coming from my front left which is unbearable. i don't know what it is, but he couldn't check it out until next week. i'm a little surprised by it as everyone said he knew his stuff.

Chris knows his stuff!!! The only place i go in the canberra area for suspension.

He mite not be the cheepest or the qucikest but you get what you pay for and you cant rush perfection.

That's exactly how Chris works.

He basically won't leave a job alone until he's satisfied the job is done right, which might not be done all in one day. If he takes a week, he takes a week, and every time I've gotten my car back from him it's been superb quality work.

As for the squeaky Stagea,

He's training his new right hand man I think, I wouldn't worry about it too much, take it back & he should fix it properly.

Yeah i know he's the best. i figured out it's just the camber kit hasn't been lubricated. today while driving in the wet the squeak all but dissappeared, so that settled my concerns.

i'll be getting it fixed and lowered a bit more on wednesday, look out for my cool looking wagon at a store near you!

I would also recommend Ian and co @ Howard Revell in fyshwick. They solved a serious tramping problem I had on my old CA18DET 1200 ute without resorting to tramp rods. He wouldnt let the car out of the shop unless it was right. When I picked it up, it was perfect and I never had a problem again.

I believe he also works on Martins EVO (VIII?) race car - the one that won last years Dutton Rally.

      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.
