.....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.

    • R31 boot how I received the sub, cleaned and today new carpet installed. Thank you Solder!!!!
    • @joshuaho96 Hmm considering the drama you've seen/experienced, have you looked into getting a built complete long motor shipped from Australia?  Considering the AUD is basically monopoly money when compared to the USD, at a glance this seems like a good option?
    • Bloody Skylines, they put you through the bloody wringer! Stick at it! Stunning drag strip BTW! Where is it? Can see part of the name on the slip and probably should just Google it!
    • I mean the other day I had to walk someone through diagnosing why their timing belt was walking off the cam gears. At least one of the issues was a bent tensioner stud. Local mechanics have found runout on the CAS mechanism causing weird failures. I'm also no saint here I've documented some of the things I've had to learn the hard way. Something I discovered recently is that my CA emissions catalytic converters weren't even welded correctly to align the downpipe to the main cat and they tossed the support bracket that goes from the transfer case to the downpipe to support everything there. I spend a lot of time chasing down these decidedly unsexy problems and the net effect is it feels like I never actually get to the original objective (flex fuel, VCAM, oil control, cooling, etc).
    • At times with how you make everything sound, all I imagine Americans doing when they see a gtr is standing there looking at it and bashing it with a gun like how a caveman would with a club and hoping it fixes itself
