Hey man. Love your car! It looks great and you are doing all the right things to make it better. Your name is not jeremy is it? Seems like 99% of nz's starions are in chch. Its bloody strange!

You are right. I am ashamed of my actions and will endevour to be less of a cunt.

oh, my bad. Just assumed that if he'd wanted something fake ass he'd have been smart enough to poke the hoses through his grill and ziptie on the radiator without asking the question. unless he actually wanted to cool his oil? in which case nobody here has answered the question. You would need to smack the cooler with a rock to hole it. Over cooling would not be as much of an issue as everyone is making out. It will simply take load off the water cooling system. Thermostat will stay closed for longer etc. Extra oil capacity is a good thing. Or- he could run a thermostat as has already been suggested? But hey, all i know is that next time someone asks about fitting disk brakes to XX vehicle im going to say " do you really want brake disks or do you just want it to look like you have brake disks.. because these are really good value " http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/2-Pcs-Car-Au ... 1480wt_854 I'm feeling like a jerk tonight, soz.

I cant believe people are suggesting that you hang a non-functional oil cooler off the front of your car. Fuck thats stupid. Why not go the whole hog and suggest other fake shit. How about some stick on carbon look vinyl for your bonnet and interior? maybe some plastic chrome treadplate floor mats? Stick on hood scoops are easy to add- no need for a hole under it. Bullet hole stickers? fake bonnet pins? fake disk brake covers for your drums? oooooh, get one of those devices that you plug into the radio to make it sound like a v8!!!!

As already said. Don't bother with a 3vz-fe. The rear bank is known for sludging up pretty bad as oil wants to pool there. Short of stripping the block and getting it dipped there is no easy way of removing this shit- which is a time bomb as when it comes loose everything gets blocked up. The 1mz-fe (cheaper than 2mz?) is a much better engine. Aluminum block and variable valve timing (i think) as well as heads that breath muuuch better. I'd personally not touch any v6 from toyota. From memory (its been a while) they are all shit for one reason or another. The later ones are better mechanically but can be a pain to get going due to very complex looms and overly smart ECU's. If you want a MUCH better motor with ample aftermarket parts available and boatloads of wiring info IMO go 2jz either turbo or non turbo. Bullet proof and very smooth lovely motors. 1jz is a very close second. later versions of the 2j and 1j also have Variable valve timing which is cool. buuuuuuuuut 1uz's are popular because they are cheap and also bloody good motors. just 1uz it and hang a ferrari engine cover over the top of it or something.

Fuck this is just lol after lol. lingling you could have broken something by joining random plug pins. Don't do stuff like that unless ur sure you know what ur doing is right.

instructions were given in the other thread on how to do it yourself.

hey man. You are doing some awesome work! Worried about linishing dust getting all through your lovely welder? -Nathan

Explain cargo pants. edit: lol, simons in the comments thing at the bottom of that page blowing his trumpet hahaha

thank you Finally an article written without bias, with some common sense and with actual factual information. Now, let us all wait for Simon to come in here and whaaaah about it.

take it for a thrash and then tell us if its 1, 1.5 or 2 way. If you can't tell then it DOESN'T MATTER! Anyway. Its got so much rust than it'll probably not make it to the next track day.

pffft, danger, no x-ray vision? loser!

if you can't tell by driving the car, lingling... does it really matter?

just wham it back on with some liquid gasket round the flange there then put axles in, fill with oil.. then enjoy the car/ go do a burnout somewhere.

holy crap these cars are beautiful!

why not just fuckin enjoy the thing.

agree. the .1% that care they aren't genuine can fuck off.

Or deliberately set fire to any part of the car but yeah you have the right attitude ae, cant please everyone. -nathan ae

Hahahhahahha, you are an animal! But thats ok.

nice garage! go 454 plz.

what fuel said.

Good on ya man. Bet you had a blast!

I have been absolutely flat out with work the past few weeks so have had next to no time spare for car stuff.. but a little bit of bling arrived today. Its off trademe and... SURPRISE i actually bought it from TradeZone. $69!! and by all accounts is a quality bit of kit. It certainly appears to be of much more rigid design than others I have seen with a relatively straight and relatively thick center rail. I've also just spent some time and money in my garage getting things organised and making room for the car. I'm going away next fri for work- will be back in two weeks- hopefully with enough spare cash to buy a mig

Sorry........ The spherical joint in the camber plates.... is this joint replaceable? -Nathan

cool! take lots of pics
