shizzl

atleast by getting a quote you know what your in for... and it can always help getting a second opinion from someone who knows what theyr looking at.. you cant guarantee that its not gonna happen to a used trans that you put it in..

if you take it in they MAY be able to give you a rough quote without pulling it apart,or they can also say "its poked mate"...

well she got a fucking WOF!!!! list of shit that it needed as follows: park light dim...new bulb. $3.50 new wiper blades $18 remedy poor headligh..new bulb $20 fix oil/coolant leaks....20mins and some degreaser,tighten shit up.. that is all!!!! not bad for a $400 van...allthough i did put another motor in it and spent $270 on getting wiring un fried.. and new brake pads......but i havent lost on it.. my sister flys down from northland tonight to pick it up and drive it back home this weekend...good luck to her.. it hums along piss easy at 100kph,allthough the speedo seems to have died..they didnt even fault that on a wof..hahaha win so see ya later van.....some more pingas for my "new" project

yeah diffs dont worry certifiers unless theyv been changed

any who...you wont know till you get underneath with the engine running and atf in it...theres hoses,solenoids and hemroids.... i dout that is has an external cooler,maybe only to the radiator... "I was raping the shit out of a Nissan Largo last night, towing a massive load." sums it up really....hope its not fucked, but now you know not to thrash something when your towing...

it may have just split a hose...check for leaks,patch up and try again... not a good idea to rape autos while towing....cooling is important,even trans coolers cant make them bulletproof for towing..

yeah,got bored last night and search for hours...found this ra22 twin turbo 4v v8.. yum...dlise they had low comp....http://users.chariot.net.au/~stmezz/jamie.htm

also this could be helpful to some with a 5v http://www.qualityenginerepair.com/mach ... 23/5V.html

just some refernece material... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toyota_V_engine

i miss my old mk5...my favourite oldschool car..actually handled good,went ok till it went up in smoke so got traded in.. would love another one day

good shiz....

there may be adjusters on the shifter linkages on the gearbox.. pay to check them out, if it cable shifted it might have slightly stretched cables.. otherwise the synchros are probably a bit work.. do an oil change if its not the cables..

havent really thought abouth it..the manual motor etc is still in the commy... the holley cost closed to $500 new..

so have you got 2 of them??? someone just rang me and said not to touch the 4v cos the cranks/bearings fuck out easy..shitty oil delivery systems.. so im now after a 5v.... so ill sell my vr v6 if anyones keen, could also have a manual vn motor and box for sale,and the new holley 350

sheepers...if you change plans let me know.... im after one of these bitches

whats happening with the 5v's???

aparently 20r and 22r are hemi design..and 3tc... i cant confirm cos ive never played with them..

anyone played with a 4v-eu toyota alloy v8 before?? these were in toyota century's,had a hemi head design so were called toyota hemi's.. do these have a certain piston or did they share pistons from another of toyota engines?? keen to know more.. i know they came out in carbed and injected versions..

i found that photobucket photo hosting expires...i use imageshack,they seem to stick around

is it just me or is the killbillet site super slow?? ratrodsrule seems like a friendlier joint than the hamb ae
