afternnoon all. Anyone? Serious lack of action around here lately, or maybe I haven't been around. Should try to organise another social event. Am trying to get some tiime off work soon (stress leave), so If I get a couple of weekends off, I will try to organise a luncheon or cruise or something.

I am thinking of finding a location where we can all park in a group with heaps of space, everyone bring their tools and expertise and we just have a day where everyone is together and anyone who needs help with their cars (mechanically, stereo, electrics...) can ask, so we can all hopefully learn something from each other and get some free work done on our cars.

If we find a park with BBQ facilities, bring lots of beer, I think it would make a good day out.

Of course I am relying a lot on the good will of our more mechanically minded members... I will bring my friend Alex, who does car electrical work.

Just want to get an idea of interest before I post anything in events section.

Do you think most people will go for it? It would be really bad if we organised it and no one who knows anything turned up. If there was only one person doinh the work it would also be unfair, and everyone would be standing around with nothing to do.

If it happens we would have to confirm certain people, and have a rough agender.

    • HELP   Hey all, Is there an accelerator cable from another Nissan that can be used on the R33 GTST RB25DET with a Greddy forward facing plenum?  Thanks in advance  Rob 
    • Or do we think it was installed to give 1 bar of boost max, all day, everyday?
    • 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!
