yep definately not the only one out there Ive even seen my best mate cry when she backed into a letterbox in her excel!

Yeah buy it here but make sure you get the RAC or someone to check it out before you buy - its amazing how when you call them out to fix your line they know nothing but when you get them to check one out before you buy it they are suddenly an authority on them!

See ya

dont worry about crying sneeza should of seen the hysterical act when i sidescraped a car once - my exboyfriend looks at it and goes "THATS IT? I thought you had taken half the front off the way you were carrying on!" So yeah its a female thing - ive got maternal instinct to my car - i feel sorry for the first person to mess with it because i'll probably land in jail.

So given any thought to your line? will u buy it here or go getting in japan again?

troys done that to me.. he smsed me "ive had a crash" or somthing like that and no detail.. so i imediatly call him thinking hes laying mushed on the road... and all it was a tiny dent UNDER the car!!! oh he was in soooo much trouble!

haha well i love my car more than anything (very sad i know - people constantly tell me i need a BF but when i do have one i still love the car more than anything) so i just got absolutely pyscho when theres anything wrong - i am getting better now though - I hate dents or scratches specially on a black car!

    • 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.
