I had to buy a new engine a while ago and found a motor with a genuine 32,000km.It looks like a R33 but has the smooth black CAS.This means the CAS drive is also different but thats all.The inlet manifold has the extra barb at the front of it as the R34 does but it also has the metal timing belt cover unlike the plastic one on the R34. It isn`t a Stagea obviously as it didn`t come with 4wd sump.Could it be a laurel or cima? The problem is I`m concerned the cams may be different as I still can`t put more than 15deg. into it at the top end.Have new injectors and GCG turbo and no restrictions anywhere as I custom made the dump pipe so even the waste gate is much bigger than anything you can buy on the shelf.

This motor is frustrating the crap out of me.216kws is not good enough.

I`m reaching the limit of my computer inteligence to be on this amazing forum.But to give you an idea,I was at Bel Garage this afternoon and they couldn`t identify it either.Think of a series 2 R33GTST but with smooth round crank angle sensor in black.People I have been to are:croydon,advan,unique,race solutions and internet everywhere.

It runs great and crisp on the throttle with fantastic fuel consumption.I am ready to pull the cams out just to satisfy my own mind all is ok.I`ve heard the R34 doesn`t really go any different with cam gears but what if it has same cam specs as R33? Those cams have to go.Do I here 260deg Poncams?

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
