great stuff. maraetai beach packs out on a sunny day tho aye.

yup. typically last minute organisation When: Sunday 22nd Jan 2017 Where.. TBA

ke10 and early ke2 with leaf front spring i believe had a 3 bolt steering knuckle. would be same ball joint as a KP. dont have vented disk tho. EDit: and they look totally different with ball joint sitting outside of the 3 bolts. So its not corolla knuckles.

1g-eu manual says: Use API grade SC, SD, SE, SF or better and recommended viscosity oil. Gives a chart for recommended viscosity vs atmospheric temperture. mega frozen balls to 10'C use 5W-30. but dont. -22'C up to 30'C you could use 10-30W. 10W-40, 10W-50 starts at -22'C ish up above 38'C 15W-40, 20W-40, 20W-50 starts at -12'C ish up above 38'C. seems 15W-40 is about the sweet spot for NZ temps. oil pressure (warm) at idle speed .. more than 0.3kg/cm2 4.3psi 29kPa at 3000rpm ... 2.5 - 5.0 kg/cm2 36 - 71psi 245 - 490kPa says when bleeding lifters, dont pull them apart. gives leak down test specs.. 20kg takes 2 -7 seconds/1mm after the first 2mm.

I wouldn't say it a big difference in power. less weight in the ae82 so be faster than your ae101. 20v needs the revs to make power. be curious to race a std fxgt! I would've gone blacktop if i had a choice but picked up a complete ae101 for dirt cheap and had the setup sitting there waiting for a chassis. Its a relatively simple conversion except for wiring which not everyone's cuppa tea. flat spot... maybe check tps position, map sensor and fpr hoses have no splits, put some injector cleaner in the tank. um, check water temp (green) sensor is plugged in nicely.

admit to having soft spot for ae82's. learnt to drive in dads old fxgt. not much original in the one i have now. 20v ST, using ae92 superlows from memory in a mix/mash ae92/101 brakes n suspensions. rear upper spring cap needs ae92 version to fit coz different diameter. plenty 82 nutters on ae82.net yeh nz new didn't have the oxy sensor. see if you can track down the toyota yellow book for ae82 and the 1983 4age blue manual. heaps of info in them. should be able to download too.

naw, got the hots for david eh! yeah defo do an autumn meet Ed. It usually has to conflict with another event that time of year tho. also been suggested to do a premeet and cruise to caffeine n classics. kinda makes sense since they've taken every 4th sunday off the available dates. might have to start a pole on it

wow what a day. prob the biggest turnout we've ever had. cheers all that went! pro as pics tim chur. lots of pics up on the FB page too https://www.facebook.com/events/175110509512814/

today is the day

Massey Uni Albany confirmed. lower tier carpark outside The Ferguson bar (gymnasium building). left at the uni round about and first left into parking area. Cruise: If people want to cruise together to the event. The usual spots to meet are 10.15am at Greenlane Mc'D's carpark or westgate shopping center outside the ASB. leaving 10.30am which is dictated on the day by the people in attendance. (Gather yourselves together and make the call). Cheers

just awaiting confirmation of massey uni parking. facebook event page added https://www.facebook.com/events/175110509512814/ share share share!

save the date.. Sunday 17th Jan 2016 (usual same weekend as Kumeu hotrod show) Place.. TBA (but probably massy uni Auckland again). I'll post up more details as they happen. previous meets deets here... click me

lookin forward to somewhere different

So yeah.. DATE: 28th March 11am- 2ish WHERE: Omana Park invite / share https://www.facebook.com/events/930230393684275/ https://www.google.com/maps/place/Omana+Regional+Park/@-36.8813806,175.0183402,15z/data=!4m2!3m1!1s0x6d72b5d87103d699:0xf00ef62249ccdb0?hl=en

the joys of organising events apart from REunion enthusiasts.. would the saturday 28th be an issue?

hit up alex user alfeinted as he may have a few tt141 wagon bits. he's in takanini. I may have some engine bits. Do you know why the pistons/rings scraped?? did you reuse the original pistons and rings.. or new rings? did they go back in the same bores and were the ring gaps checked? Im no engine builder... but pistons scraping like that may suggest not enough piston/bore clearance which wouldn't be a problem if bores were honed and original pistons fitted. which would suggest ring fitment wrong or ring lands cracked.. but unusual for all four to fail at once? also advancing the ignition would make it run hotter?

true that. how many going to REunioin that would otherwise come along? Didn't wanna do it on easter weekend as too many peeps away. could bring it forward a week but i wont be there unless its in afternoon.

as usual.. what does it clash least with caffeine and classics is a monthly meet too as i understand? how many will it affect?

is that a one day thing?

2015 Autumn Japanese and Oldschool Car meet When: late march? Where: possibly an east auckland reserve? I'm not posting deets here coz I cant edit later . So any conflicting events on 29th march? speak up now! last'ish weekend for daylight savings. Looking into proposed venues.. one being Omana Park, Maraetai. Want BBQ feed. who can assist? Discuss

prob too far out of your way.. my old man has his own wood workshop at Waiuku. He setup what was the franklin mens shed so the stuff on facebook is doable. Not sure if he's running evening classes anymore but i could ask? https://www.facebook.com/pages/West-Franklin-Community-Mens-Shed-aka-Arts-Man-Cave-/404690356254275

Gona be a scorcher today. Wear sunscreen!
