haha thats what i thought

the guy replied and said

"got mine made at HRP Performance 30 uclid ave hamilton was 1200 for the bellhousing 500 for hydrolic release bearing thing 7-- for custom clutch setup and flywheel machining

product is good very good looking and works well from what i can tell not having the car running."

take a gearbox, a paint scraper and some springs with you?

Seeing as its another gx61, that could work if i chuck my plates and rego on it

nah the guy is keeping the gearbox and its been pinkyed for no springs

Cheers Sparkle, ill keep that in mind

I have found a car in palmy but am not keen to tow it up with the grande.

If some1 from hamilton or auckland is heading down to the swap meet with a towbar and they would they be willing to bring it back up, i can supply the trailor with gas money and some beers etc?

Cheers ryan

theres a guy in hamilton that i know that just a bellhousing made to match a 4g63 to a w58. You want me to look more into it for you?

what gx61? You got a link?

Nah theres not to many JDM 1s around, would be keen to meet up

What are he odds of bringing a car back up lol

My 2c... Tui = watered down spew

QFT

Im keen on castle point!

Whaaaaaaaa, if youre gonna come that far!

lol hamilton = 2hrs, Palmy = 7hrs

lol.

I can drive to hamilton if some1 from there can give me a ride

Keen for a ride from the town of auckland if possible, cant see the mk2/1geu lasting the trip

Ok some small progress, got my mounts watercut then tacked together, just incase i need to move the engine forward a bit as ive read the rear turbo may hit my clutch master cylinder

Also picked up an altezza torsen LSD thats already in a mz11 head. Ill probably take the LSD out and put it in the head thats in the car to keep the same ratio

Im picking up the engine in 2 weeks from tauranga and i should have all the money i need to do all the major stuff 2 it so assuming nothing major happens (famous last words), it should be up and running asap (fingers crossed)

specialy with a TRD lsd already set up in it

Lots of people seem to buy truetracs.

There was a TRD lsd for one for sale out've a gx71 GT.

Tama autos' was selling it though so they wanted ~$1200.

that was a G series 1 and he ended up selling the whole subframe and diff for about $900 in the end, was a sweet buy!

Im keen. Ive been looking at getting 1 for a awhile now

he will probably relise due to its steering box, its a shit drifter and will end up letting it rot in the back yard.

I dont know about you guys but i see fuck all gx61 hardtops around

never ever assume mate

im sure these ecu have a self diagnostic feature??

have you changed anything at all in the last month??

These engines dont have a diagnostic box if thats what you mean.

Whats the oil like? And do you do much out of town driving? The oil could just be really thin, then get past your rings and poo up the plugs.

My bet would be to check for air leaks though. Does it only run shit when cold?

I just toped up the oil with some cheap repco stuff about a week ago is it was low/empty.

I only really drive it to work which is about half 50km zone, half motorway. Its a good 1 1/2hrs a day though.

To be honest, i never pulled the new plugs out to check how fouled they were. Im just assuming they did as it dropped a cylinder and ran just the same as it did when the old plugs fouled up

Man this piece of crap is starting to piss me off!

Thursday morning it took forever to start, it turned over fine, just didnt want to start. Thought nothing of it as it was the coldest morning yet and just figured it was that. Thursday afternoon as i left work, it did the same.

Friday morning it starts fine which i thought was sweet till i started driving, it sounded like it was running on 5 cylinders, you could smell how rich it was running and it was stalling whenever you stopped. So i turned around and came home.

Today it was doing the same. I tried a spare AFM, made it worse. Temp sensor is all off 3 months old. I replaced all the spark plugs with new 1s, it ran fine for a minute and then which shit again as the plugs fell up.

So whats wrong and how do i fix it?

Dam, he said he was going to txt me with a price when he was ready to sell. can i ask how much you ruffly paid?

Love it man, looks great on the mk2s. Did you get them off the guy with the mx41 thats on trade me?

if you find 1 in the next week or 2 on yahoo, you could probably chuck it in the van that is coming over with all my stuff

http://list1.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/20 ... egory.html

type "ae86" into there and see what you can find. If you see anything you want, let me know and ill sort it out for you

Well instead of paying off the 2jz, i thought i would try find a gearbox to chuck on the van before it left. So i brought this off yahoo for a pretty good price

Its a W58 from a JZA80 supra so is alot newer and ive been told it has a stronger input then my old w55. And because is comes with a JZA80 driveshaft, flywheel, bellhousing, crossmember and remote shifter, i should be able to get most of my money back by selling it all bar the box. It also has a clutch which hopefully is good enough condition for me to use.

Along with Spencers altezza F series diff head that ive brought, it should be able to hold the 2jzgte and my heavy foot................ i hope
