It's disgusting isn't it?

Yeah, and most people give little fuck for steels so they all get scrapped, and all you're left with is base-spec hubcap covered / spare wheel types.

That radiator looks delicious! What it cost roughly?

Go for gold bro

Alrighty then. Shall depart now. Have to pick up 105. I am hungry.

If your current fuel economy is 20L/100KM, I doubt it's gonna get any worse so unplug the AFM and roll like a bawse

Si was having similar issues with his soarer, would run fine cold but once it warmed up it lost power. Solution = Link G4.

Yeah that's usually the case as the ECU has no idea how much air is going into the engine, hence has no idea how much fuel to add.

Nah, if the AFM is not working correctly the ECU will be fueling incorrectly etc etc. With it unplugged the ECU bypasses it completely and runs on a mixture of voodoo and witchcraft. I think the AFM also houses the intake temp sensor, but not 100% on that.

Nah, the AFM on these engines is not actually required and will still run lush without it, although a tad richer.

Yeah it's a reasonably new filter and everything. Not something I can be bothered with really, I just need to get the car to matangi so I can rip the box out and scrap it. I'd rather drive than towrope it if I can.

Right, the slushbox in my cressida will no longer engage forwards. Reverse works perfectly fine, but forwards just slushes around and slips like mad. I'm replacing the box so I don't give a crap about it, but is there anything I can chuck in it to try and get a bit of forward movement out of it so I can drive the car to where it needs to go? i.e. a very temporary fix.

According to this guy they have a decent resell value http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/used-ca ... 732250.htm

They are $500 or something to replace. Fucking retarded. Yours has air suspension?

Touché.

Doubt you're gonna find a bellhousing to mate a 1UZ to a W50 box though. They have different bolt patterns to the W55/6/7/8 boxes.

Yeah I didn't mean those mirrors, I meant fender mirrors on the fenders.

Shit well done man! Remove door mirrors and relocate to fenders for more win.

Yeah, I have no idea either. Pic some pics up.

You should consider it.

Would have the same effect on all cylinders.. Initially I was gonna it's popped the gasket between the cylinders, but then noticed that they are not adjacent. Makes things a bit funny..

Also also also If the ignition and everything is still working, it should still be able to fire up and run on those numbers without too big a worry. Won't run too flash and will lose a lot of power, but there's no reason it should be coughing and shit. Double check ignition and make sure it's firing when it should be, and perhaps check valves for stickyness / bendyness. Could explain both low compression and coughing stz.

Cold compression test should still give consistent results (if everything is all fine and dandy), even if the readings might differ from hot. Drop a spot of oil down the bores and try again. Rings may be shot or something.

Yah, that's the joke
