.....dammit...why do all these things happen when I have no money.....again f**k you GFC and making me loose 2 jobs this year

Alvin...you are not allowed to strip the car until next year!!!!

ahahahahahaha, if i can fix the left indicator blowing fuses today, i might just hold the car till rego runs out. lol.

otherwise, i'm butchering her today.

as for cheapie china manifolds, if he can weld the cracks, no problem!

looking good zebra, cant wait to see it finished.

you're not fussed about using cheapy china manifold and it cracking in time?

Cheers, China manifold isnt permanent, just needed to get the car going asap....Will go fancy everything down the track

If you have a aftermarket stereo in the car I can guarantee that is what is causing your issues, Headunit/amp and indicator wiring all run off the same plug under the head unit

well, yeah, headunit's aftermarket, there's some aftermarket sub in it, but i have no idea where it is. LOL.

and, issue was that the bulb's casing itself is f**ked.

zebra what happened to you rc engine store?

Its still there but nothing happening with it :(

ah that sucks

Sub will be in the parcel shelf in the middle, factory fitted 10" jobbie, sits under the same cloth covered thing-o that holds the rear middle brake light

I was thinking yesterday that there is no way this engine has 230,000ks on it.

It is way too clean inside..the water jackets look way to clean...like brand new....not a hint of stain on them...the engine has definitely been out of the car before and the sump has non factory looking sealant on it...wonder if it has had some epic rebuild and I find a set of JUN rods and pistons lol??

here is hoping.

Either way it gives me confidence to lean on it with the new turbo

mine has 203k kms

I think Toyota engines in general always seem clean inside. I changed the waterpump in my IS200, inside the radiator and the water pump housing (whole cooling system) were like new. My car has done just under 200,000km.

Comparing it to my Skyline (130,000km) and Bluebird (300,000km??? ODO stopped working years ago) - Thier cooling systems seem sh*t, even with changing coolant every year.

    • Why are you so adamant on going M12? Why not follow Brad (GTSBoy) suggestion. You're talking moving from a 1/8" size, to a 1/2" effectively. 4 times bigger. Why skip the commonly available sizes in between? The bigger you go, the more likely you are to strip the threads out at a later date, as guaranteed, someone will put a huge spanner on the M12 and really tighten it up, and you're only in thin wall, so not a lot of threads to engage!
    • Hi. Yeah thanks. Car is already at tuners and it staying there to resolve "many" issues they do not like. So it is in a good hands. Getting a good tune on that Nistune ECU too so the car would be good. Just needs a little tune up and love.
    • Probably gonna remove manifold and turbo. I’m not sure if I can get M12 x 1.5 air tight. Could use high temp Loctite 246 or something similar, but I don’t know. Maybe it’s just best to remove everything again and weld an 1/8NPT on there instead.
    • Yeah, saw the ratios, not impressed. Would like the punch I have in the first gears now. With those ratios it won't be the same.  Also want the h pattern gearing, or at least a quiet gear set that don't need to come apart for service each year. Looks like the only "reasonable" way Is a 8hp70 transmission, but where is the fun in that🤷‍♂️
    • Hey mate, really appreciate the help. Have been looking pretty extensively myself and was certain they were retro fitted, but then ended up finding a 4 door with what looks like the same side skirts or at least the closest I’ve seen.
