Simon Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Bitch. You haven't even tried properly yet . Lol I did. It's not going to work - or at least I'm not going to bother making it work. Blame Truenotch for the pic dump I wasn't going to do haha. Pics are leaning it over, standing it up and half leaning over and half standing up. CBF writing about them all not linking them properly... I don't really even expect anyone to click them lol Motor should have been siting back further too making everything worse. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted November 20, 2011 Author Share Posted November 20, 2011 Yeah one of the best. I convinced him to buy it after he was looking at v8 kingswoods and rubbish like that. We had to do a head gasket on it but other than that it's been mint and hes done like 20,000 kays in it. Uses it to cruise to Taupo often.

chees- Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 whats happening with the first one atm? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted January 6, 2012 Author Share Posted January 6, 2012 Sitting with no diff or motor on stands waiting for me to get the RT141 from up north, then I can do some measuring to see if the IRS from it will fit the first one. / I'll make it fit. Then when I start my official 4th year project at uni I'll get onto all the suspension etc. I'm not really in a rush to finish the first one because I want it to be perfect. I need something to track skid over summer though. Since the MR2 went I've been itching to do some aggressive driving but hard to do in a diesel wagon haha. So will put the 1uz in the track one for the time being. Will make it all bolt to factory stuff so I can swap between cars but probably just get another motor. Will be after a solid F series diff for it soon and just do a diff conversion. Have not had as much work available that I initially though, so funds are tight.

J-Calico Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 You got that last piece really tidy, was there much left on the side by the screen? Would have been a pain if that rusted too! Is your little lip that holds the boot seal okay? Why is it that old japanese cars seem to rust this so often?! Even my tidi(er) markII had in a couple spots along there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even my tidi(er) markII had in a couple spots along there Haha basically nothing under the screen. Will put some poo over it so it doesn't leak. The little lip is a bit rough in a few places. It's not a biggy though. Will probably just leave it. Different for a street car though. Japanese cars were only ever designed to last like 5-10 years.

Roman Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Haha yeah, cutting out that front panel is the way to go. I got Kinloud to cut me out an overlength section from another car, ground off the captive nuts underneath so the whole thing bolts back on over the top using some of the factory bolt holes.

Yeah I decided that I'm going to do that in my other coupe because I only have one over length section at my disposal. haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 So Simon/s you guys seem knowledgable re 1UZ's - what are the different variations and how easy is it to tell them apart visually (VVti excepted of course) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Simon Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Two generations. First 1989-1994 Second 1995-1997? Then there is vvti (1998-2000) but whole other kettle of tuna and are like $4k If the motor has factory ingition leads the date is written on them. I'm still unsure by looking at engine numbers. First Gen - All have alloy air flow meters, no plastic cover on engine, they have billet fuel rails, different ecu pinouts, mainly 40 40 40 square plugs on ecu. Second Gen - Plastic air flow mwters, hot wire type. Plastic engine cover, they have cast alloy fuel rails, only ever seen the ecu pinout 28 34 22 16. I'm sure there is more I just can't remember. Only major difference between the generations internally is that the later one has full sequential injection from the factory and the conrods are way smaller. So if you ever want to put a SC on one definitely go for the early one. If you wan't to go ITB go for later one. If you want to have way better than all of them put together got VVTi haha.
