hahaha cheeky barstard :D

I used to work at a bowls club - this one lady - 85 - walked 10mins to the club every day, drank about 6 middies of super, smoked a pack of 16mg stradbrokes, took 6 king browns home with her and opened one for breakfast. She is still alive and going strong!! She was so funny

hehe i know apprentices party hard - i stayed with most of them at New Towns Xmas bash - i borrowed a spare shirt off one of them cos i had nothing to sleep in so while i changed one of the mechs put on my nice rather girly top and ran around burswood resort in it haha

Thats Scotty yes haha him and i are just two people that shouldnt be put in the same room together - we are such a bad influence on each other he gets me into lots of mischief :D

i think life is about enjoying it :) i think we should try and keep ourselves healthy but cant deny ourselves of lifes little pleasures.

Yes I am Ken :) someones gotta keep u boys in line :)

Hey Liz do u ever have girls rearrange your clothing in the ladies loos - i dont know whther its just because im an untidy dresser or what but hell i keep getting these chicks trying to straightenup my clothing and suggesting the type of bra i should wear with a top :D

Oh all saw a girl i used to work with - she was sooo happy to see me - she was threatening to bash my face in 3 years ago!!

    • 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.
