Awesome work the brass trim work is brilliant

The only information i pull up on code BR Is a 1979-80 colour TOYOTA AUSTRALIA Light Blue (metallic) PPG codes ATO.BR(31221) I would go the exact same colour as the car in a 2K for easy clean up. Rod

Mine AE95 does it as well only from 2 to 3 not downshifting... If I'm am gentle its cool, but if i shift quick its ugly. I like idea of fixing the cones but i am either too lazy or still getting over pulling it apart in feb of this year. I'm running Nulon smooth shift gear oil in mine I'm going to check the oil levels to see if its right. Rod

Jedz It looks like mine runs alot like yours i have done 8000kms in mine now it seems to be no issue. Thanks for your help & reply

Wow i have not seen spray putty for years (i can almost taste the dust) Nice work are you a painter? Rod

Awesome....

Hello I am trying to gather some information on the 3UZ 4.3lt V8 (out of a toyota crown) What i am after is a toyota engine manual.(Been looking seen a couple 2UZ manuals but no 3UZ. That has the rebuild specs and fault codes. I don't care if its in PDF or orginal, Free or $$$ any help would be great I thought maybe someone here may be able to point me in the right direction. Thank you in advance Rod

This may or may not help. My diff lock was not working either i found the vaccum hose connected to the intake manifold.(to lower the idle to 800-1000rpm previous owner) My idle is a little higher than standard 1000-1200rpm warm. We found the switches were gone but no once it was plumbed right it works great. If photos help of how mine is wired no problem i can do that. But i found the brackets to very difficult to remove with the engine in the car.

Thank you all. Flushed the heater core on the weekend, (orange rust again but it flows) I bled the system as well using the gutter to get on a angle. Done 500kms in it over the last 3 days No problems. Guess i am paranoid Thank you all for your help Rod

Hello My heater is working and there are no hose leaks but apart from that i have not checked the heater system. Stupid question time. How do i check the heater core? I have never needed to do this any help would be great. Thanks Rod

I think my AE95 is running hot (4AFE with a manual box) Its showing halfway on the temp gauge after 40 mins of use but when i feel the bottom hose it feels warm only. I have Replaced the thermostat with a toyota one which i placed into 85 deg water it opened and seemed fine. Removed the water pump, all good. (flushed the metal pipe that runs behind the engine) Removed the raditator fed water through it backwards.( a bit of orange rust) Removed the head replaced the head gasket, cleaned all the jackets out while there. It is not using water it, runs good. The cooling fans only come on for a brief moment. Still I don't think its right, that bottom hose seems too cool to me. Any other ideas how to check if its ok working correctly? Thank you in advance Rod

Would a picture of my AE95 motor help?

Hi Kim Yours is a AE92? If so i got something that will help you a lot.. Please PM me with the model and i will explain If i can help with the very little i know please get in touch Rod

If anyone is serious about doing this or wants the look of a rat rod without rust eating their car away PPG has a new range of low gloss 2pak paint that will still protect your pride and joy. Yes i know there has always been low gloss 2K but its always been crap below 5 gloss units this stuff was made to reproduce OEM low gloss body finishes.. If anyone wants product codes or information i will dig up the copy of refinisher mag or call a rep just pm me.
