Hey all,

almost every fj that I've seen featured anywhere has a high mount setup (and lots of other stuff to for that matter). So I'm wondering if theres a reason behind it or it just looks good and keeps the bonnet from getting cold :P

Thanks, sorry if this has been asked before, I havn't seen it

Definalty keeps my bonnet from going cold...

I've got a high mount setup, not my first port of call, its just the manifold was a high mount one (old school HKS) so i kinda didn't have much of a choice!!

I think alot of the time when they go high mounts its for room reasons, or lack there of, in our skylines there's a fair bit of room down there if you remove the aircon/cruise control etc etc free's up quite a bit

Hi mounts are simple to work on,  with teh fj of that era they mount the gate down low for easy atmo venting

I have a HKs cast iron manifold with teh hks gate flange on it etc for sale $200

Yeah im running the same manifold/wastegate setup on my car, except i've got the KKK turbo that originally came with that manifold as well!! Just made 162rwkw on 8psi @6k on a hub pack dyno with it!! Work really well, its made the car so much more driveable then the standard turbo stuff

how much did that set you back?

damn i miss my FJ :huh: the way you could drive those off boost was unbelieveable. Only now since ive built my rb30det can i say it compares with it. Nothing else ive driven comes close to the FJ20 or RB30det.

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
