Hey guys just a quick one. Not many people here would know but mid last year I started a ke55 project. The ke55 was not running when i bought it and the body was full of rust and dings. well about 2 months into the build it was ready for paint. The car was painted in 2PACK black paint sprayed by the qualified painter at work in a booth. the paint looked great. there was still the issue of the motor. So i done a top end rebuild on the little 4k and a carby rebuild. the thing ran great and was really reliable. well the sad day came when i had to sell it to get something more suitable for work and also wanted something with a little more power. I ended up swapping my little …

1969 - 1973 KP/UP30 Publica In 1969 Toyota released a whole new generation of the Publica. It had a new engine and a new image. While the 2U engine was retained in the cheapest versions, the cornerstone of the lineup was the new K Series 4-cylinder, water cooled 1000 cc engine (designated 2K). The Publica SL was also launched in 1969, which featured a 1.1Litre K-B twin caburetor engine but in 1970 the engine was replaced with a 1.2L 3K-B. There was also an offical pickup version. 1970 saw more minor changes including (but not limited to) a new instrument panel, and a new High Deluxe version featuring the single-carburetor version of the 1.2 L engine and front…

hey guys, keen to flare my gaurds on my ke70.... But never done it before... So I'm after some advise, plus not a fan of bolt on flares.

thinking about buying some bits for my 70 off ultra racing. the aussie website says not to use the ebay seller ctech tuners as they are scammers but i have nothing but good reports from people who have left feedback about their ke70 chassis bits and pieces. i contacted the seller and this is what he said, ME hi, on http://www.ultraracingaustralia.com/page3.htm, ultra racing says not to buy from you because these are imitation parts, is this correct? regards, luke CTECHTUNERS I only sell Original Ultra Racing products, I never sell imitation. Even imitation bars does not have so many types, my bars comes with serial number and warranty card. It is worldwide warranty a…

heyy guys i was just wondering were the best place to buy venetian blinds for a ke 55 sedan hopefully in white. cheers

Just wondering what you guys use on your old interior or exterior plastic/vinyl surfaces to keep them in good condition, especially keeping things like the dash supple etc etc I was told by an old bloke with an open top Singer roadster at a car club meet to only use water to wipe down interior surfaces/and shine with castor oil because most products are petroleum based and look good on application but = quicker deterioration. Ive never really bothered with interiors too much until now, I used some pyroil (was told it would be good cause its made from orange oil??), but five min's with the car in the sun it looked like I had'nt used anything at all - just smelt like o…

so I'm going after a ke70 its pretty nice but its auto, hopefully ill have it by tomorrow which means I'm going parts hunting tomorrow, its a 1.3 and i want to convert it to manual...can't seem to find many manual gearboxes around for one so could i get a list of compatible manual parts? and also, whats a cheap/ p plater friendly way to get a little more power out of it, as my driveway is a little steep and my current 1.6 hatchback rolla struggles a bit haha cheers

Hey guys, Hoping somebody can help me out. Trying to find the specs for a stock 3tc camshaft for comparison against some racing cams I'm checking out. Specs I'm after are: Valve lift Lobe lift Duration Lash clearance Lobe center And timing specs. Any information is hugely appreciated Cheers, Chris

ive got 215 50 17 91V on the Fam car and i need four newies. they are between $190 and $325 each just wondering what else could i use as the tyre shop are having a whinge that my tyres will have to be ordered in etc.

hey guys. how would you shorten a ke70 front bumper?? i have the flat front btw.

There is an issue in my front windscreen sealant due to which water drops leaking in. I want to re - seal the whole screen but, firstly by removing and then again installing. My question over here is what type of rubber is under the screen? cause I am able to see some cracked old rubber pieces along with sealant. any info on this will be helpful.

basicaly have been thinking about it non stop since i saw this vid. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmBKBdY_cm0&feature=related and since pulling my rear windows out of my pano to find out it was a windoless pano and they put windows in that arnt even factory windows makes me sad. il be daylying my pano and taking my dogs around in it (great dane/bull mastive and staffy/blue healer) and don't want them jumping in the front with me so I'm putting a cargo barrier in but would also like to put the windows in so they can see everything and get some fresh air as i don't generaly open my windows much as i have a dodgey ear and gets sore easy. would anyone know where t…

hey guys. not sure if this is in the right section BUT. wondering what sort of place i would have to go to to get a 2 inch straight through for my ke70. atm it does still have the 4kc if that helps at all?

i was having an arguement with my mate today about the power that 5k's put out... was wondering about peoples experiences with 5k's, whether it is in stock form or cam, twin carbs etc. he was basically arguing that he could drop a 5k with performances modifications to it, into my ke55 coupe and it would be a "hectic" slider lol

i am chasing a full set of seals for my ke55 coupe and would like to know somewhere people have used that have proven reliable? preferably in queensland but interstate doesnt bother me thanks guys!

Just before I get into a blazing row with my wife, I thought I'd try and find out just what the law states about P platers and modified cars in NSW. What can you do to a car and what can't you do?? Is there a Govt list somewhere that clearly lays it out, like it bans turbos. Non-standard exhaust? Change of cam profile? Increase in engine capacity? +20thou? +40thou?? 75mm to 80mm??

This is probably a noob question but i can't find any other topics on it anywhere. I've got a ke55 with k40 i presume? can i just buy a k50 and bolt it straight in place of the 4 speed? Or do i need different tailshafts, mounts etc.? Thanks :blush:

Is their any new window reg for a ke11 or can I use one off a different model thanks

so i found another ke70 thats unrego ed but has low k's and based on the pics looks ok they want 400 for it but i was just wondering how hard is it to rebuild a car back to rego ableness? haha and what do i need to pay specific attention to when looking at a car that i plan on doing this to? cheers again youre all awesome

G`day all, I am about to fit a set of bottom end bearings to my FJ62 Landcruiser and am wondering if anyone knows if the oil pump can be shimmed like a 4k to give me a bit better pressure. A new pump is way out of my budget at the moment at over $350.00. Its possible that the new bearings will fix the low pressure problem but I want to be prepared if it doesn`t. The engine has done 370,000k and is in good condition and will only be getting a sump off repair. The oil pressure has been slowly dropping over the last year or so, so I don`t actually suspect the oil pump. Cheers. Sorry if this offends mods. I couldn`t find anywhere else to post it and I know that there ar…

hey hey. i have 4 new wheels (have used tires) i got from a fellow ke70 driver. the two fronts looks sweet but I'm unsure about the rears. does anyone know a good place to get em checked out near hollandpark?

Spotted this photo on Boostcruising. Say HELLO!

iv got a complete aircon setup off my ke55 is it worth sellin complete or just the compressor bracket and what are they worth?

hey guys was just wondering as i am the biggest noob when it comes to these cars, whats a good price to pay for one? ive found one with rego til jan 2012 its an 1982 4k, 4 speed manual with 157 thousand on the clock has 7kg king springs in the back (not chopped) and new pedders struts/springs in the front 5kg (not chopped) it has an open diff too which as far as i know means it hasnt been drifted, well not very easily i guess...the ac works apparantly and has got no rust except some surface rust where paint chips are, like back quarters near back wheels says the dude, he wants 2800 for it...is that a fair price? and what should i be looking for? any help would be awes…

alright.... in my ke70 i have a dash cluster with taco... but on the back of the cluster the green.... thing is starting to come away from the actual cluster itself. which i think might be the cause of my dash lights, fuel and temp gauge not working.... (note i said i think) but the stange thing is that some lights on it work like the brake light, hand brake light, high beam light and all the idoit lights...

Very good turnout I thought, considering this was my first ever visit. Just a couple of lazy snaps I got today, not all Toyotas. The sun was bright and there was not a cloud in the sky. so my camera phone didn't perform to well. Some you may recognise. Feel free to add your own pics. :happy:

Can someone tell me what these wheels are? They came on my new T18 parts car :yes: They are made by Cheviot but I'm not sure on the model :hmm: 14 x 7JJ Cheers Ben
