car has used a ton of fuel ever since i have owned it. tried everything including clean acc valve, clean afm, change o2 sensor and even driving like a grandma which is no fun.

recently my car had a engine problem and seemed like it ws loseing water so i droped it into ice to let them have a look. engine problem was 2 dead coil packs and water was cos i had no coolant left and the water was boiling away.

while the car was there they notice that my stock bov had a leak in the hose so the fixed that up and added all new spark plugs.

OMG i think the bov leak was the culprit. i used to get like 280-300 k's to a tank driving like a grandma and it always ued to idle at like 1200rpm. now im getting 400k's to a tank and a 800-1000rmp idle.

if you are suffering from poor fueld consuption i recomend you look at your bov and the piping connected to it cos this litle fix is going to save me like $20 a week in fuel.

woo

that is all

I had an atmo bov when I got my car, and it sucked just as badly as it does now, with a factory BOV. No leaks, coils are changed (which fixed my missfire), new iridium plugs, afm cleaned etc etc etc....

No joy so far for me! =-[

      This looks great! Awesome to have the 5 speed with an LSD in this. The Recaro's look like SR2's or SR3's. It's a shame they've been retrimmed as they would have looked sweet in their original colours. I think I'd want my agent to be a little more up front and informative too. I've never imported but I reckon it would make me a little nervous, so the more info the better.

      Thanks for doing that Duncan! Makes you a good person in my books. We don't get kangaroos or wombats here. But we have bats and it's similar. AFAIK it's often the mums with a baby attached that get hit because they drop lower when starting from a tree. If you hit an animal, check on it. https://www.ifaw.org/au/resources/wildlife-rescue-app An app to get the closest wildlife rescue contact.

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      My dream is also to have a proper hoist, but I don't think it will ever happen. My quickjack is probably as close as I'll ever get, it really is very good though.

      Yeah we keep on in the dailies, it is pretty poor how many animals get hit and the driver leaves without checking....have saved a couple of little ones over the years. Bit of a gruesome job though, pouches generally need to be cut open because they are so tight and often the joey doesn't realise mum is gone so they are still locked onto the teat. I checked the modules in front of the DS wheel where an oil cooler should go.... There is the radar unit - that can go for race use) One of the 2 HX water pumps, the silver cylinder. That needs to be kept but might be able to be relocated But the bad news, the big computer mounted vertically in front of the wheel (blocking any potential air exit) is the electric steering computer. That is required until/unless i do a hydraulic steering conversion, and in CAD based modern car design it is not like I can just pop a big unit like that somewhere else (plus the loom would be too short anywhere else too). So, the passenger side is OK to clear out (just use a smaller washer reservoir, potentially elsewhere), but the DS no beuno

      Well, all the best with the new camry It was interesting to hear about the UK process, it is generally a lot more streamlined here with a shipping agent looking after all the import side (noting the exact final price can still be a surprise.....) and I've used a few different brokers on the japan (or US) side, and never had any trouble with any of them....luck of the draw I guess. You mentioned you didn't get the auction sheet (understandable since you bought it from a dealer, not auction), but I always try and get hold of that because they are pretty thorough. I've imported 2x R grade vehicles over the years and both were fine, repairs in Japan are pretty thorough compared to here in Oz.
