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.

    • Yeah well per the video it took 15s for the stock unit to start up....even if I give it a few seconds discount for starting that is at least 12 sec before you get a reverse camera if you are trying to leave a park.  The android unit is way faster, but 2016 for the stock unit is a long time ago in consumer electronics
    • Yea that’s why I said ima test them with multimeter and see the reads.
    • Only at idle. Isn’t a problem when rev it seems.
    • @Haggerty This seems silly to ask, but are you confident in your ability to tune the Haltech?  
    • Next on the to-do list was an oil and filter change. Nothing exciting to add here except the oil filter is in a really stupid place (facing the engine mount/subframe/steering rack). GReddy do a relocation kit which puts it towards the gearbox, I would have preferred towards the front but there's obviously a lot more stuff there. Something I'll have to look at for the next service perhaps. First time using Valvoline oil, although I can't see it being any different to most other brands Nice... The oil filter location... At least the subframe wont rust any time soon I picked up a genuine fuel filter, this is part of the fuel pump assembly inside the fuel tank. Access can be found underneath the rear seat, you'll see this triangular cover Remove the 3x plastic 10mm nuts and lift the cover up, pushing the rubber grommet through The yellow fuel line clips push out in opposite directions, remove these completely. The two moulded fuel lines can now pull upwards to disconnect, along with the wire electrical plug. There's 8x 8mm bolts that secure the black retaining ring. The fuel pump assembly is now ready to lift out. Be mindful of the fuel hose on the side, the hose clamp on mine was catching the hose preventing it from lifting up The fuel pump/filter has an upper and lower section held on by 4 pressure clips. These did take a little bit of force, it sounded like the plastic tabs were going to break but they didn't (don't worry!) The lower section helps mount the fuel pump, there's a circular rubber gasket/grommet/seal thing on the bottom where the sock is. Undo the hose clip on the short fuel hose on the side to disconnect it from the 3 way distribution pipe to be able to lift the upper half away. Don't forget to unplug the fuel pump too! There's a few rubber O rings that will need transferring to the new filter housing, I show these in the video at the bottom of this write up. Reassembly is the reverse Here's a photo of the new filter installed, you'll be able to see where the tabs are more clearing against the yellow OEM plastic Once the assembly is re-installed, I turned the engine over a few times to help build up fuel pressure. I did panic when the car stopped turning over but I could hear the fuel pump making a noise. It eventually started and has been fine since. Found my 'lucky' coin underneath the rear seat too The Youtube video can be seen here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uLJ65pmQt44&t=6s
