sidewaysickness

My 2 cents...

Had a Mk4 golf with the same problem and found that the selector cables needed adjustment. Of course I adjusted it the wrong way and made it worse, adjusted it the other way and problem solved.

May be totally useless information but it may not .

I'm not sure yet if I will be taking up the LTD or a Volvo wagon. Will keep you guy's updated

As discussed with Alex, Next meet will be Thursday the 22nd @ Rabbit island. As per usual Mot crew will meet at the clock tower, Nelson crew at WOW car park. 6pm

I have a 69 cortina wagon and a 68 Impala wagon and possibly a 71 volvo wagon confirmed to attend. working on a few others. Let's make this a good one... Tell ya mates, tell their mums even tell their dogs

Might not fit between the towers too easily...

 

Im dont know how much room there is but the 1GZ is a very compact engine, it's significantly narrower than a 1UZ. 

Rough dimensions are 800mm from bellhousing to water neck(750mm to the front pulley), 700mm from sump to manifold top, 600mm from head to head.

Great car, I look forward to a closer inspection next time I visit paradise.

Just throwing this out there....

something different, its Toyota and its a 6 cylinder... ...(dramatic pause)... ... doubled!

1GZ-FE

Official output as per Japanese Manufacturers' Agreement is 206 kW (276 hp) at 5200 rpm although true power output is estimated to be around 230 kW (310 hp). Peak torque of 481 N·m (355 lbf·ft) is at 4000 rpm with over 400 N·m (300 lbf·ft) available from as little as 1200 rpm.

bloody awesome! love h vans

what'd crapped out on it?

jealous of you being able to fettle with one of these hah. 

It has no spark at all and he had said he went over a bump and died after that. Straight to the distributor which was located in the worst of positions possible. 

Under the cap looked fine so I chucked it back on and off it went. I put it down to the rotor design with the spring steel tab on top of the rotor, Ive always had issues with that type   

saw that h van pottering around marahau on new years day, fuckin lush

Yea its so great. nice guy too. He's based in Christchurch, told him he would get mucho respeto on here.

Spotted in Marahau a few days ago, Hopefully we see him signed up on here. Turns out he had broken down and I had to call on my inner maori to get it purring again

my bad.... I should really read things properly

Damn. I start work on the 5th. How long are you up for?

Kevin would lose any fight, you have made him a sissy with his super soft pantene pro v fur.

I'm working on Daniel getting signed up. The fact that he turned up says that I'm making progress. I could just sit and look at his corolla forever

As you can tell it was a quiet meet, we had a tiny car, a large car and a shiny car.

Looking forward to the dancing girls next month

Turns out my car is no longer welcome at Speights ale house... Apparently they don't appreciate a v8 making clouds at stag do's. what weirdos!

may as well continue with the rabbit island plan. see you then

I think I'll make this next meet at my secret location. BYO ladder /quote]

*fixed

Also I know this is extremely late to change the location but due to the current weather I think an indoor location would be best. Ideas anyone?

No problem Alex. It was great to check out your land and soak up some rays.

Another great meet, Thanks to everyone that turned up.

My little bbq struggled with the amount of meat so I will be keeping an eye out for an upgrade. Rabbit island will work fine.

Heres a few of my pics

See you all next month!

selling demio to buy oldschool? good man! still.... not a good enough excuse

If I'm not at WOW on time then leave without me. I will most likely join the cruise as you go past my house in appleby

I am/used to be. Guess what my handle is? go on... guess

Cool. There should also be a mk2 cortina wagon waiting there.

Today the hilux found a friend

arck she'll be right maaaayte. only 100 thousand? lol I'm fairly sure my ol girls on her third time around the clock! being a 71 400 it's apparently rated at a whole 280 donkeypowers (in original form with every factory option fitted and running)

Thanks guys. Yea she's a 400M. Iv got a spare 400M in the shed but unfortunately it's a dreaded Michigan casting, so il probably never do anything with it
