Nice find Damo

OMG ... Pete has turned into an caravan touring old man! :blink:

Would you like some tea with your scones while you watch the campers roll by? :P

Haha, you're a funny boy........I've been touring in a caravan for 5 years, nothing has changed bud......time to cut back on work and live a little!

Will eventually get into a '94 V-Spec 32 if I can find a mint one.

anyone want a slab of piss (or cash adjustment) to take my injectors out? i went thru the hassle last time so cbf doin it again, got em supposedly fixed and now there still leaking, so have to take em back to the workshop.

Pete:

My dad recently bought a 200 series cruiser GXL also (TTV8D), nice car! Fuel consumption isn't as great as toyota lead you to believe, BUT your right, enough torque to pull a house down :P

When pulling his 2T (fully loaded) camper trailer around NT/QLD mid last year he was averaging about 18L/100 from memory, whereas unloaded he would get about 12L/100. That was sitting on Highway speeds whenever possible, and more often than not 80+ on the dirt "highways".

Nice cars though :P

Pete, a few pages back, I managed to find a heap of 32 GTR's (not V-spec's) but they had genuine 30,000k's and stuff like that on them... basically garaged for years! They were going for about 25-30k.

It wouldn't be hard to find a mint condition one! There's still plenty left in Japan. You just need to fork out a bit for them.

Rhys, with your injectors, did you just replace the O ring? The actual injector might be split (happened with mine)

supposedly they where all looked over, cleaned, seals replaced and tested. but i dont belive this for a number of reasons

Damo & Chronic, nice finds boys but I won't even look at a GTR unless it's a V-Spec and mint late model V-Specs are indeed rare.

yeah I drove my VZ Berlina to Melbourne and left it at the Toyota dealer then drove the 200 back........at highway speeds I got 10.5L/100.........will be interesting to see how it goes towing 2.5 tonne.

    • So thing that had me stumped, but I think is OK....is that when it was up in the air, in neutral I had it running to bleed to coolant while I put the wheels back on. I noticed the rears were turning (slowly) which I'd never seen before 20250928_163512.mp4     Because there had been an issue with clutch slip due to pedal adjustment on the dyno, I assumed there was still and issue so spent some quality time upside down under the dash adjusting the pedal....but no matter what I did the wheels still turned in neutral. Even disconnected the master cylinder to pedal rod and same. In despair, I even removed the clutch slave so there was no chance of any preload causing it.....still happened. So either: 1. Something is not right in the bellhousing, or 2. Its a thing sometimes with cold, thick gearbox oil Internet says it might be 2, I hope so!
    • OK, few more things sorted and it is ready for a shakedown on 10-Oct, with one weird thing. Changed the run in oil and filter for the good stuff. 8l came out, about 8.5 went in with filter so that looks all good. Changed the starter (again), this time for a brand new one, works good. Interesting that the Taaaarks one is shorter than factory but spins harder, I guess electronics have moved on a little in the last 30 years. Will be nice to have a bit of extra space under there. Put the timing cover back on, and noted where the cam gears were set as a record.  Will need to double check the timing but it is pretty close. Also put the coil pack cover and intake snorkel back on. Exhaust Inlet Changed the water out for coolant, bled up nicely. Removed the rear brake pads (well worn factory sumitomo ones!), gave the hardware a good clean and reassembled. I've put bendix XP on the back again because the price is excellent at $150 a set and they worked well on the V37. Front pads have plenty so no issue there
    • Mine is all -12, I’m running a dry sump in a billet block though 
    • HG's high flow is not "bolt on". The core is shorter, moves the comp cover rearwards in the engine bay. means you have to deal with the inlet plumbing a little bit. This is probably something to consider with every "bolt on" turbo anyway.
