yeah niz im with cam! about the jash thing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yeah and cam but if i get a dump pipe to suit right, don't ya think it would make another place for exhaust leakage? that why i was thinkin of sellingmy apexi front and just getting a new dump/front made up!

i agree coilovers are awesome! but i can't justify paying that much unless i was harcore track racer! so i think i just go for the aftermarket shocks and springs!

dont really have itme to chase thats why i now use who i do - seems to be very thorough and has the time on his hands to be that way.

I'll get it done just got to find time n money - but first the blow off valve problem - one step at a time - should see the shopping list i have for my car - i mean just even the essentials its huge - need my brake pads replaced soon too or i might end up under a truck!

niz i have a blow off valve that i wanna sell! it's a ssr blow off valve styled like blitz! bit fatter though! apparently very loud (look at me loud) hehe although never put it on my car! if ya want you can take it off me to see if it will fix your problem, if it does you can buy it if ya want, if it doesn't then chuck it back at me in a big tantrum! ;)

Adrian - ok, I get what ur on about now - and i agree.. u should be able to get rid of the Apexi pipe and use the proceeds to get the dump/front combo done?

Niz - understand completely.. thats one thing i hate, chasing people so they can take my $$... fair call..

mines aftermarket - there when i got the car - doesnt make a noise its just leaking air at the moment so its playing havoc with my idling and keeping the revs low so once i get that fixed then i can get it tuned and hopefully it'll be back to its feisty old self - its being sluggish lately and its boring the hell outta me ;)

hmmm wouldnt mind a bit of a ricey loud one. yeah keep your ears out for me anyway - might start looking for one saturday morning because i just want my car back to normal ASAP.

adjust the spring tension on the bov you got at moment? have you tried that? that should stop it leakin! just don't adjust it too much that it's too tight for the pressure to release when your off the throttle! are you going to auto salon niz? cam? if you guys are i'll be there saturday, tell me in advanced adn i'll bring the bov along with me on sat incase your nearby i can drop it off!

i'm in east cannington i go to thornlie tafe! what type of bov is the one ur using? coz i'm sure if you adjust the spring tension make it just a bit tighter it will stop leaking! coz you haven't upped your boost pressures or anything have ya?

ahh k.. so the aftermarket one is hanging off the std mount then I take it?

I'm with Adrian - pull it off, clean it and tighten up the spring pressure.. Maybe get your mechanic to do it? Shouldn't take him more than an hour..

i think the boost is up a little more than standard ;) honestly i thought everything was standard apart from the obviousl lowering etc in my car when i bought it - but ive learnt lately that all is not what it seems - it has been played with. So im still learning what exactly is under that bonnet - i assumed that BOV was std til i was recently told otherwise - its nothing ricey looks like fairly standard - havent really taken a close look for myself lately - havent had time might have a look see this weekend see if i can find out make etc

you can do it yourself niz if ya have the right tools!

you probably wouldn't even need to take it off just adjust the spring tension there is normally a lil knob on top of the valve near where the hose from inlet plenum goes if i do remember rightly!

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
