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.

    • If it (the code) wasn't still current, it should have gone away by itself by now. No, nothing it 10/10. But it is quite likely. Everything else to do with the ignition could still be responsible (which is wires and connectors). The car is an old piece of shit now, so all the wires and connectors are also old pieces of shit.
    • Lock me in mate, although I'm not sure if I'll be heading up from Goulburn or down from Sydney, either way, return will be back to Goulburn 
    • Sounds good, we will aim to be there! @The Bogan I'll give you a shout if you are heading up to campbelltown for the meet too.
    • Before I get to the test day, just to finish off the android head unit. This is a demo from car start up....the standard/host system takes a few seconds to boot (same as all v37) but Android comes up quickly. In this vid I'm using the delivered launcher but have set the default to Agami since which is easier to navigate when if use primarily 5 apps. You can see the host system still takes over when required eg putting it in reverse, and you can switch between Android and not by holding the back button 3 sec. It is pretty responsive (fast) but you can see I had to press harder than expected a couple of times.  I still have the phone connected to the stock system, and that also seamlessly takes over Android music playing. v37-android-demo.mp4 The bigger reason that I put this in though is so that I can use Ecutek directly on the head unit. That gives me a dash with logging (up to 20MB only), high and low value warnings on any parameter etc etc. I've run a USB cable from the Ecutek OBD dongle to a USB input on the unit, easy. v37-ecutek-demo.mp4   The unit did freeze on the launcher the other day, I think Agami was trying to verify the license when it didn't have a data connection...will monitor and report back if there are any other problems but so far I'm very happy with the upgrade.
    • Nah that is just crappy GPS mapping, I did have a small excursion (cold tyres, damp track, surprise!), will post up that when I get a chance.
