Hey guys,

Seing as I didnt get to make an introduction thread, I thought I would make a build thread. So I brought my rukus in 2010 it's a stingray metallic build 2.

Here's a pic of the first night I got it. I put the eyelids on it that day as well..

After driving around like that for a few weeks I got a set of coil overs and set it to a semi decent height and take the gap between the rear wheel and arch...

Next I done some under bonnet work with a K&N Sri, TRD strut and carbon engine cover

Driving like that for a year I decided on some wheels and picked up a set of Lexus ISF wheels.

After the wheels went on I knew the ride height wouldn't do so I got some air suspension done and some yellow walls.

Got bored of the stereo in the rukus so put in a new one.

Got some new wheels getting fixed up to go on this summer.

Hope to have the new wheels on soon and a few other bits and pieces...

Will keep this updated as I go on.

So it's 12:40am here in hawaii at the moment and all m thinking about is coming home to the box.... Been a long time since I updated on here... Nothing much has happened lately as I have been saving for this holiday and not for mods... Anyway the eurolines have been sold as I wanted to go with another look...

Gone are the 8000k hids and have moved to 4300k in the head lights for a more stock look, and the fogs have been changed to 3000k...

2CFC34DB-712A-45B6-ABE5-06ECE4DF86BB-191

With the eurolines gone a new wheel was needed.... Still need to play with the specs a little but the rear should be sitting somthing like this...

048953A1-940F-4E9C-9539-B6855994B9EE-261

I originally brought a scion xb rear trim peice but being different sizes I could not fit it.... so while I've been overseas the car has had a few little touch ups with the paint and had the rear chrome peice painted to be closer to the usdm scion xb..

Hoping to get the new wheels fitted as soon as I get home... Then I don't know... Might start the interior will have to see....

New wheels are here and are now on.... This isn't the final colour though they will be getting painted or powder coated in a few months.... I'm still not 100% happy with the fitment and will play around with it still in the coming weeks...

Let me know what you think....

Once I roll the guards the rears should sit lower at the moment is stopping the car for going any lower....

Nice rukus! Do you have pics of the air suspension install? How much space did the tank etc take up and where is that all stored?

Nah haven't got any pics of the install... I am looking at changing it around and tidying it up soon though I may get some photos then if you like.... As for the size of it all I put everything in the spare wheel well....

When aired out the lowest point is about 20mm from the ground.......

But once I work out some of the suspension I will hopefully be sitting lower

2 compressors and the tank is shaped like the spare tire?

Would you be able to let us know the brand??

I've read up a bit about air suspension for my Nissan cube.. apparently it is possible to have a single compressor only.. Obviously it would take longer to inflate and no bouncing/dancing.. and one ride height setting for all 4 corners.

Although you have two (that I can see), are they terribly noisy when they are compressing?

Yeah i have 2 Vair 380cc compressors and a pancake tank... fills the wheel well nicely witha bit of room to spare...

the air kit is from airrunner and controlled by an easystreet controller.... should be updating before summer though...

its not no noisey i have a rubber mat in the wheel well then fitted everything to a piece of MDF... double boltlocked the compressors and used rubber washers to veep the vibrations down.... as long as you check over the bolts on a regular

basis and tighten as needed it should be fine... in saying that i havent checked mine for a while and have noticed a noise increase but nothing to drastic....

with the kit for the cube i have seen a car running dual compressors in the wheel well just depends on how you mount them

and how you run the lines.... he was using flexi stainless lines like i am and not hard lines that alot of cube owners use.... most of his kit was hidden

Been a while since I have posted in here...

Recently I had my wheels powder coated...

I decided to go orange so I could get a bit more pop from the wheels

Got titres fitted today down at tyrepower in north melbourne... Anyone downs here in melbourne I would highly recommend them...

Here are the results....

This is ride height

Crappy pics as melbournes weather today has been horrible

And lastly just one of it aired out... The rears have about another inch for when I roll the guards and can get another additional inch once I change the rear shocks...

Quite happy with how she sits at the moment... Will be getting a set of rear camber shims fabricated after the national next weekend...

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
