Im going to have to pass steve.... Meant to get back to you about it actually but completley slipped my mind. The 20V is an absolute nightmare to put in, fabricating parts(alt. brackets, modding pulleys, custom thermostat housing)) and blocking off ports etc, custom manifold or IDA trumpets to clear master cyl, etc.... Price was awesome but all the cash afterwards simply isnt worth it on a $1K corolla. If it was a sprinter, then yeah sure... :D

Pepsinator..... Can you do a photoshop in red and one in silver for me? I have a few ideas on what colour Im going to paint it. I have mirrors, just need to make bases for them.

Kisin.... It wont be cheap. Thats all double metal under there.... Mine was simply a massive Vice grip pull, then dollyed flat, and bogged over.

Getting painted as soon as I get my new bonnet/bootlid, and finish mounting the guards.

Colour will remain a secret.

yeah.... also considered S15 pewter, Audi Gunmetal, BMW gunmetal, New VE commodore gunmetal.... If I look at another colour chart Im going to lose it LOL

lol

^^^^ guess its not really a seceret anymore.

seems like your sliding towards the dark silvers, gunbarrel gray's :D

no matter what colour it will look awesome but its a matter of the perfect colour to set it off!

on another note i have blood coming out my right ear.... think im off to the doctors tomorrow

oh dude, if u could PM the details, that would be great ! (from who and price)

Flares are $180 a pair and are made very nice

Not even close.... Been almost through the entire colour spectrum LOL...

Let's just say the colour is up the other end of the scale....

LOL... Reflective safety tape.

True, it would look good baby vomit green. But, was just saying that Id looked at a lot of "gunmetal" colours...... and I wont be going a darker colour like that. Although Mercedes "Diamond Black" would be rather pimp.....

Hey Dave how much does it cost you to fill the Celsior up?? And how many clicks do you get to a tank?? Just wanna compare the two, as i've always loved the LS400/Celsior, was going to buy a LS400 about 5 years ago, but never went thru with it!! And then the Aristo came to Australia and that changed my mind on what to get!!

tends to cost about $90 a week, on a cheap day of course. depending on how i drive, ill get anywhere between 500 and 650 km. so it isnt that bad on the juice really, hows the aristo stack up?

ill throw the keys at ya for a spin after ajd. :banana:

    • Hey guys been looking everywhere to try and find the correct gtr hood latch support part number but only found the first half and when I search with that number it sends me to an r34. The first part I found was 62515. If anyone could help me with the rest then I’d really appreciate it. Or if there’s some alternative hood latch support that would work even better cause I can’t find any for sale. (Searched on upgarage, partsouq,buyee,rhdjapan) 
    • If you've only done the upper control arms on the rear, AND you have changed their length (by more than about 1mm) to set the camber you want, then you will definitely need/want to install traction arms also. Adjusting the camber arms on their own WILL introduce bump steer and make the car unpleasant to drive. Most owners have no idea that their car could behave infinitely better than what they put up with. I'm not entirely sure what the Stageas need, but I am thinking that unless you have massive front spring rates and pretty soft rear springs, you have waaaay too much rear bar. Oversteer city, in my estimation. Combined with possible excessive bump steer from maladjusted arms, that could be a recipe for nastiness. ATR43SS2 is not a highflow. It is an outright replacement turbo. It's a little bit bigger than the largest highflow profile that Tao does. Probably a solid 300rwkW turbo where the bigger highflows will be about 30-40rwkW less. Nevertheless, we're only talking about ~300 rwkW, which is well within the abilities of the stock ECu to run with a Nistune on board. I would do so without hesitation - and I will be doing so when I get my finger out and actually get the injectors and AFM installed. But, if you would prefer to drop a whole lot more money on the ECU side, then I suspect you're looking at Haltech. The Haltech fanbois here will all spout on about all the available engine protection you can have, that you can't have with the Nistune option. And they're right. But it doesn't really come for free either. You will spend more money on extra sensors and the like, plus the work to install them. If the engine was built and therefore represented a big investment to protect, then I'd say definitely do it. If you view the current (and forever into the future) shortage of replacement engines as something to prompt similar protection, then also, do it. If you see a destroyed RB25 as an opportunity to put in a Mercedes or other V12 (like I kinda do)... then your perception of the risk/reward might differ. These are good injectors. You can also get a "better" set of the same with more flow matching, for more $$. 1000cc is where you will want to be. You will need an R35 AFM and adapter tube if you want to stay with Nistuned stock ECU. Otherwise, if going Haltech, you can ignore. As for intercooler. Just about anything will do. You're only talking about ~300rwkW. Just put a big core in there. Be aware that return flows do add significant pressure drop and will cost power and will make the turbo work harder to achieve the same goals. If you can manage a proper crossflow, do it. I'm keeping my very good return flow because I'm only expecting to be in the ~250rwkW range, and will live with whatever outcome I get.
    • I have a heap that i have collected if you want some authentic ones still. Pm me if your interested!
