even had sparco bonnet pins and sparco seatbelt cover kinda things and a compression gauge :p

i have to agree here, i know a fella that had a really sweet 1jz manual big single 71 corona, 6 weeks of solid custom work and 4 days after getting rego one of these BMW's slam him up the ass while at a give way sign, to make it worse he was stopped and then floored it into the corona thinking...

thanks mate, i love them too their good motors and sound the part too, shes a good beast but needs some love but still gets the 225's going with some encoragment :p

for now its fix the few little body issues, replace all rubbers i can with nothane replacements replace all discs with DBA's and new pads lower it just a tad give the motor a detail she handles like a boat after my supra so i really wanna get her just a tad more stable so today when...

Time to wake this beast from the depths :p just a update, ive since found i had a leaking valley gasket so i replaced it and am no longer losing water which im very happy about! ive had to return her to my daily while im out of work again so im looking to do some more fuel assisting...

mine did the same and fell inside the manifold, the easyest thing to do is either get a pick file (its a long thin tool with one end being 45 degrees and the other straight, normally used to remove rubber seals inside hard to get places) and try pull at it towards you from the back or just risk...

hey all just a thought, ive got a 94 VR with around 220 kms, what the problem im having is when the car is cold (ie in the morning) the wheel or wheels will squeek for a minuite and then stop, and still make the sound down around a idle rolling speed also, now the main reason im...

yeah i know their fair cheaper than they use to be, i just wanted and 2nd opionion as i dont remember the gasket going around the bolts but i dont doubt they would, well it seems im going to be do that next weekend :p cheers fellas

hey all as in the title, ive got a VR with the buick motor, i had a leak a while ago on the bypass hose so i fixed it and my system has built pressure again, but today i was just checking it over and ive now noticed ive got water leaking straight out of the valley cover bolts on the front of...

i cant say 100% so it may be, but i cant see how it could personally, and as for autobahn, as much as i loooove their prices on commodore parts, i went in there and said my engine shakes on idle as i think the mount is torn and he said crank angle sensor, they just seem to love that part :p...

well just a update, since ive replaced the leaking bypass hose and bled the system properly, ive now found that my fuel consumpsion has improved a fair amount, ive already done 50kms and my fuel tank hasnt gone down at all so far, before now i would say it would of used around a 1/4 of a tank so...

yeah thats a good point, ill have to mod the post but cheers! :) as for the brass bung i just got it from repco without a package but apparently most have them now

ah hes going behind the engine! :p i thought that was for a wastegate, good idea i must say, i dont know why but i never liked twin head motors having th exhaust pipe run around the front of the motor :p either way im envious, shes a sweet ride dude

yeah that is half the fun :p ive just done a tut for it in the "how to" section so yeah :)

Hey all, im big into doing detailed how to threads on my 1jz/z20 soarer so now im doing it on the VR i might as well do one on here! :) this is a how to for replacing the bypass hose from the top of the water pump to the inlet manifold and the bung that is plugged into the inlet manifold...

yeah i know! i should of kept my VR wagon, apart from a small knock in the motor it was perfect! :p this sedan altho i love it, has a shitty immobliser that when you unlock the car, it will lock itself after a minute, when you start the car, put in gear and lower the hand brake it locks the...

get some killer offset and you could prob run 285's with some strech :p thats what we do with the z20's, just roll the guards, get some 11" wheels and strech the **** outta the tyres :D like so......

apart from my mates supercharged one, ive never felt a fast ecotech, i just cant stand them :p just a qurious question, if the harmonic ballancer is out would this cause fuel issues also? im only asking as when i got the car she had a severe engine shake when on idle or comming to a stop...

cheers dude, ive also noticed that for some dumb reason the last owner found the thremo fan plug, chopped off the ends, shoved one on the switched power side of the "blower" replay and then wrapped up the earth again leaving it exposed :S

hey dude, nice ride and your a keen man geting the turbo done so quick, but comming from the world of twin turbo 1uz's and what not, but whats the point of having the turbo run on only one side of the motor? wouldnt it be better to run 2 small turbos and join the pipes before the...

hey all as above ive been losing a fair amount of water from a leak so im now happy to say its fixed, ill only put up a few pics but if anyone wants me to put up the whole step by step tut im more than happy to do so :) the parts needed, note the brass bung, over the plastic factory...

thats weird but i guess their made EXACTLY for that motor so it makes sense also :p i have found a water leak that runs directly pass the sensor under the alternator that everyone rants causes issues so that was litterly just fixed then so im hoping that helps, also i reset the ecu so it can...

i dont know why but i cant stand anything but the VY's with a VY kitt, they look so dodge :p i knocked back a manaul VP with mods for that exact reason :p

good info dude, ive been meaning to reset the ecu for a bit now but i keep getting caught up, ill do it this weekend when i fix a leak ive found :) and ive checked my alternator already, a good strong 14.2 constantly, ive had alot of car issues with alternators but i studyed them and always...

that celica is the sexyest a6x series ever! thats mavis from toymods, not everyones taste but hes been offerd like 6k a few times for that beast

my spark plugs above arent even 1km old :p a few hours of idle tho but not much abuse, sometimes they can just have a flaw and when the heat gets to it or it pre detonates, it can bump the gap just the smallest amount just curious, if its just been started and its cold, what does it do when...

killer! ill have to do said swap once i get around to finding one :p does it do the whole "distance till empty" thing run off the factory ecu?

yeah ive done the air filter and it was dirty and heck, almost say it was the orignal one! :p but fuel filter no.... i wanna do them as soon as i start work again (a week or so) the fuel use got fair better once i serviced the transmission so yeah, ill have to get new fuel filters really...

Hey all just doing the usual things to the commodore, as usual its had new leads, new plugs all oils changed trans serviced 02 sensor changed blah blah blah my 2 questions are... 1)what are most getting out of a tank with normal driving and maybe a punch from the lights maybe...

it could also be something really simple like a fouled spark plug, my 1jz use to run crap till hot, sure enought i checked the plugs and one was closed (prob from "test drives" ;)) so i re-gapped it and sure enough it ran sweet as pie once again :)

are these the dashes that contain distance untill empty and what not?

thats something i didnt think about :p cheers dude, ill have to check that out

hey all ive had my VR for a few weeks now and ive noticed the cruse on the stalk (not on dash) isnt working, no buttons do anything at all and ive checked fuses, their all fine (altho it does seem very melty down there, the last owner is a retard!) but yeah any help would be great, even a...

whats really funny is i had one sitting in the bay before i got the 1j, and supprising it sat quite well :p im just going to make a 4runner again with another 3.8.....or a LS1, depending on budget :p ive already had one with the VR motors in it and damn it was sweet! but at 240k's to a 70L...

or get me killed! :p if i ever got my hands on a 2jz it would be replacing the 1jz in my mz21 soarer, but then i do have a spare 1jz but i dont think i could cause i love these v6's too much :p well this is how she sits ATM, its dirty again as ive been working on it when i get free...

Hey all, im new here as im usually hanging around toymods and z20soarer.org but ive come back to the dark side (according to most toyota lovers :p) and got myself another VR, i use to have a VR wagon that i bought years ago, sold it when the fuel pump **** itself and then 2 years later it...
