Thousand Dollar Supercar Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 OMG there are Piazza cruises?!? I mean, they're awesome cars but hardly common - Google's first search result was Piazza pizza ovens. "More than a cooking appliance, Piazza ovens are described as an entertainment centre. Dont gather around the TV, bring the family outside and get them involved in the cooking fun!" And look at that guy on the left, hogging two carparks so nobody dings his car with their door..

And look at that guy on the left, hogging two carparks so nobody dings his car with their door.. I know all four of those cars. i was on that cruise.. The car on the far left is owned buy a mate in Auckland and is a limited edition Nero Irmisher turbo. Probably the nicest example in the country. hence the two park space... 2nd one in is the new addition to the Oldschool stable. (when it had the twins) The white one 3rd from the right is also a Nero turbo. The 4th one is also a rare example known as the Bella" (plush interior that sort of thing)owned buy same mate from Aucks And the red one half hidden behind the road sign is same mates red XS turbo. Yes he has Three Piazza's There are other photos of the next years cruise floating around somewhere.... Mine went up for that one.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine is an 84. Na the chin spoiler came on the JDM turbo models. I had to use a non turbo bumper cause mine was poked when i bought the car and i fitted the Turb chin to it.

cute wee gem Posted December 19, 2010 Share Posted December 19, 2010 I think this looks pretty sweet, I think its a Photoshop job though. Some 80's rims would look epic too, mine looked pretty sweet on SSR formulas but have no pics of it I had a twincam one but it was completely stuffed and donated bits to the gems and its heart went to the Bellett Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikuni Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Take your engine/head to the Engine Shop on Norton Road to get any work done. Not the one on Lake Road from my experience. I might have some rear shocks that are very short. From my old Chevette, but might work for you. I can grab some lengths if you want?

hop Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Hey, cheers for advice with the head. Scant as atm but so keen to get it sorted. For the rear springs to stay captive I need the shock to be 400mm or less at full extension. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zep Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Check out the Izuzone forums, I'm pretty sure there is good info about swapping a 4ZE1 into a Piazza. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikuni Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Sweet, thats very short so I think the ones I have will be suitable. Will measure them up tonight and let you know via pm if they'll be suitable. They're near new Monroe GT gas, so should last a while. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HighLUX Posted October 14, 2011 Share Posted October 14, 2011 These things are so 80's flying wedge its sweet, the dash feels like a cockpit The old man had a rodeo with a 4ZE1 that he sold just before ticking over 400 thou, was still running sweet bar a minor oil thirst, that was a couple of years back and I still see it around. It had crap old extractors fitted and went real well for a ute, very torquey engine but liked to drink gas Should go well in a Piazza being alot lighter than a ute Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hop Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Right I got the engine all wired up to the std ecu. Had a bit of a play around and has good cranking power a massive spark and was getting the fuel. Cranked it a couple of times and lost spark? When I took the coil lead off to check it was arcing 3-4cm to the rocking cover. Went to crank again and nothing. Cant get it back, will go over everything tomorrow. Looking forward to getting this beast going. Was rocking the front suspension just cranking it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
