Hi all,

If you haven't already heard there was a hit and run involving a silver skyline on Davy st last night. Two people were injured and they are currently looking for this silver skyline. I know this post will get mixed responses and views, I don't know the full story surrounding this incident, but if you know who owns this car or was driving it at the time, please contact crime stoppers (don't have the number sorry as I'm posting this from my phone), it's totally anonymous. To be honest skyline drivers get a bad enough wrap - so if you know anything at all please do the right thing. Steph.

More info, the vehicle stopped after it happened but the authorities are still trying to locate it. Love accurate media releases... that is sarcasm too by the way.

I realise you probably already know this, but in case others missed it. There's more details on the Mercury site here. The important bit of it is:

"Accident Investigation officer-in-charge Sergeant Rod Carrick said speed did not appear to be a factor in the crash.

Sgt Carrick said alcohol and drugs also did not appear to contribute, however a blood alcohol and drug test had been conducted on the driver."

Horrible this kind of thing happens, but in this situation it looks like the driver isn't the only one at fault, especially where they were hit (here). I've personally run across in that place several times because the lights are irritating (only has crossing lights on one side of the road), and when I used used to drop my wife in town for work I constantly had people crossing in front of me and had to slow down to a crawl to avoid hitting people.

It's these idiots (here) that give us a bad name

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By ARB26 · Posted

      So could it be assumed it has been installed intentionally with potentially a power FC boost controller kit?

      What should I do next to hold the head on

      By Gareth87 · Posted

      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.

      RB26DETT Sketchy boost mod?

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      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.
