Required Reading
 

Awesome journal! I finally got it read in its entirety. Does anyone have any coupon codes for Visine?

Travis - I was curious if the throttle body spacer was of any use for a NA car versus FI?

Hope everything turns out well!

Thanks Kevin... I really should put a note at the beginning about getting an "auto page loader" like "autopager"... it ques all the pages so you don't have to keep hitting the next page button

Re throttle body spacer, putting one on the Tundra soon... none for the Z... heard good things about it for the Tundra - using the AFE product... others say it's a waste of money... we'll see

---------------

Anyone find an engine for me? could be from a G37 of course...

Wonder if they have one for the FJ?

Quick google search on FJ Cruiser...

Also CAIs for your 4.0L...

Cold Air Intake System Stage 2 Si <P>aFe Power Magnum FORCE Stage 2 Si Air Intake System; Pro 5R; Toyota FJ/4Runner 10-12 V6-4.0L</P> 54-81932 - aFe Power

For the CAI, most of the gains come from switching to a K&N filter ;)

Thanks. I was jsut asking for general conversation. I just signed up on there forums. All sorts of goodies for the FJ.

Crossbrace
 

Travis/Spohn/RCZ ... What about this crossbrace that lies beneath the mid portion of the exhaust? I bent mine then took it off and re-bent it back. It's not very strong. Is this something I can leave off? I have FI exhaust so if my universal joint breaks the drive shaft will not be able to reach the ground (I think). Can this be left off or replaced with a stronger type of brace?

I'd leave on. This is a sub frame brace. Mine just recently got bent from a construction site in front of my dads house. They replaced it for me. That part cost $239. I could of got it for $180 but they decided to pick the part up for me than write me a check.

Agree, leave as is

I pulled Travises but only after I caged his car...

If we ever get this car back on the track, going to look into more upgrades for the braking system...

Possible stepper motor actuated front/rear bias controller

Balance Bar Cable Adjuster - Electronic Type CP5500-14 Stepper Motor Kit

Wait so whats the situation with your motor?

Hey Shaun. The situation is I hope to get it resolved... right now it's a paper weight

Hope so too. Been following your journal since you started it. Definately one of the most inspiring builds on this forum :tup:

Going through TravisJB Journal Withdrawl ... whats the latest?

+1 on impatiently awaiting updates on your engine going poof. I know it's a tough situation to be in and that commenting publicly too early isn't a good strategy, though :)
