So yeah I made the front half of a new exhaust for my 1KZTE

Pit Stop made the rear half

And fuck it has made a drastic difference to the van!!
Sounds tough, not stupid loud (VTNZ inspector reckons it's just right) and has all the turbo whistle.
If I ever tried to cut a gap at an intersection or whatever I used to just pump out a cloud of black smoke while it thought about accelerating, but now the turbo keeps up with the diesel pump so no cloud just GO.

 

Have they not heard of mandrel bends? 

Are you talking about the kun26? Pretty sure my bosses 2010 sr5 has factory 15's

This is the logo on the claimed genuine hub. 

Yeah but is the any other supplier of viscous hubs? 

Do any toyota nerds know which manufacturers supply toyota with their viscous couplings? Is it just Aisin or is there another company? I see on a couple of toyota sites they have ones that aren't aisin but have a squiggle with a dot in it, any ideas on what brand that is and was it ever oem? 

Cheers..

Must have notched the chassis to slam it that much.

My car was liberally fish oiled by the panel beater I used a long time ago. Now that I'm re-restoring it, I need to remove a lot of it. I hate this stuff.

Does anybody have any good tips for efficiently removing it?

Do you need to remove it? .. Fish oil does a good job of denying rust a start..

The first time I looked at this was probably when a FD in this condition was worth 10k max 

I wonder if he regrets the decision now

 

 

I don't reckon.. 

Whoops.... 

That scene is photoshopped... That's me actually doing a 12sec pass. 

One thing I'd look at is the other side of the pressure plate where the release bearing meets the spring diaphragm and check for any wear there.. 

Classic car storage is sweet, got a kombi in there.. 35 a week tho. 

How are the bearing saddles?

Yeah, its super quirky, not something to re-start the bike at the traffic lights if it stalls....

Feels alot more disconnected from the engine than other kickstarters too, and its like it only rotate the engine 1/4 of a turn. But it works...

 

Edit: For those of you that don't know, the kickstarter is stored in the fuel tank....

Like a walking stick with a sword..

My guess is the oil pressure switch.

I'll go a plus 4 on the pressure switch. Just found the oil leak on a 2000km old ma (fe precursor) that didn't leak at idle. There's a fair chance they're even the same switch. 

Yeah.... I was travelling..

I think it’s the one from Chevron in Christchurch. Think they want $70k or something for it

Ah yeah I remember.. Was running in a new engine or something. 

Wonder if he imported it.. 

Are you sure they're the right size? I've always found frost plugs fairly easy to install.. 

Fuck.. I've gotta come to this one but potentially may be driving back from takaka.. 

Wow, there's a real flurry of 808/rx3 action on the tard today.. Must be the moon. 

In 2013 I bought my kzn185 surf for 12.5 with 220k on the clock and thought I paid too much. That's now up round 20 for the same and mine with 300+ is worth 15.. Not that it matters, I'll prob run it into the ground.

I'm still waiting for my mid 70's 121 to appreciate.....

Use a dilute ethanol solution instead of water, should inhibit the bacterial growth nicely

Use it for water injection ss a bonus..
