Dam straight Damo would rather do SAU them heroin gts4 are 4.1 because they share the same parts from the gtr i think r32 gtst is 4.3 because of the lack of torque from the rb20

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.

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:

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By AdiR34 · Posted

      Wow, didn't realize it was THAT much of a PITA haha.  Can I potentially source an auto transfer case to salvage parts from it for a rebuild of my manual case, if it's FUBAR? Is it like [part set a=manual], [part set a + part set b = auto], or are they configured/engineered completely differently?

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      The autos suck. Anyone with an auto wants to go manual. Also, the one thing you don't really need to change is the dash. You don't really need to know (on the dash) what gear position you have selected. What you do have to change is the tailshaft, a bunch of wiring, probably gearbox crossmember, a bunch of fiddly shit like the spigot bearing in the back end of the crank, find a flex plate and a converter, etc. A whole lot of pain. Most of those autos have been rightfully put into metal recycling bins, so they're not exactly easy to find either.

      ENR34 - Leaking Transfer Case

      Appreciate it man, gives me hope based on my Google searches on availability of GTR parts.  When you say I'm "not going to," is this in the vein of "who on earth would want auto," or more "it's impossible?" Not trying to be rude, truly don't understand haha. I know, it'd be a madman move to go manny to auto, but if it IS my only option, I'd be curious on the lift.

      Shit's f**ked. Looks like there might be a crack to the intake valve seat on the opposite side of the chamber also. Defo pull the whole thing down. Nothing good can come from just doing the head on a motor with comp figures that low anyway. You'll hate yourself less in the long run.
