Get photos. Get tape measure. Do research. And knowing mates, there's a good chance it's actually a TA23/RA23 (superficially little difference, but actually major dimensional changes)

Ahh me = didn't click link

Doubt it, heater core is way over on the passenger side so for it to leak into the driver's footwell would take some effort, especially if it's not leaking on the passenger side. Rust under the windscreen seals is very common for AE92 models.

I just assumed that it was EFI after he said 2TGEU, which is the EFI version. Didn't bother looking back at the pictures

Why not return it to carby? And like I said, measure things before you lock in the decision of a 1JZ. You'll most likely need to do more than just "modify" the radiator support, , and if you decide to do it that way you're going to have a big chunk of engine out in front of the axle-line, as opposed to sitting back if you recess the firewall. What exactly are the plans for this car anyway? Drags, drift, burnouts, track, daily etc? I can only see one, maybe two options there where a 1JZ is actually a feasible and decent option for a xA23/28, let alone a TA22.

You're pulling a 2TG out of a TA22 and replacing it with a 1JZ? Why? Oh, and have you actually measured things up to see if a JZ will fit? A TA22 bay is smaller and shorter than an RA23/28 bay, and they only _just_ fit in those. You'll most likely be looking at having to modify the firewall, and that's exxy (and not wise to do yourself if you're not competent)

I beg to differ Take your pick, KGC10 or KPGC110

Tried Klippan?

Another vote for MA61 wheels, although make sure they have 195 tyres on them not 225s, otherwise you'll probably have scrub issues This is my KE55 with MA61 wheels, looked rally-tough

Pretty sure my KE55 was +20. I had 7" wheels on with a +8 offset and they were fine, +15 should probably be ok but would be worthwhile checking first.

I've had a 4K at at least 40 degrees out (can't remember if it was advance or retard) and it absolutely purred at idle. Took 10 minutes to start the bloody thing though

I do believe they fit, but surely that should have been something to check BEFORE you bought them? Never a good idea to buy something if you don't know whether or not it'll fit.....

*instead of bumping old thread '97 AE102 sedan (still have) - Charlene '81 KE55 sedan (sold, g/f drove) - Billie '79 KE55 sedan (parts car, now cubed) - Pineapple '86 AE82 Twincam Seca (still have, g/f drives) - Rosie

Sounds like starter motor is strting to die internally. When you jump off a running car you're giving it 14.4 volts as opposed to 12 or so when you crank from a battery, the extra voltage gives it the kick that it needs. What car is it in exactly?

Depending on the models, 100-200kg or so.

Do the rest of the accessories work? Headlights, stereo etc... I'd be thinking the starter motor is shot, if you jump the car from another running engine, does it start better then?

No, all A-series engines are belt.....

I had cold start issues on the 7A a while ago, and idle problems as well, seemed like the ISCV wasn't working properly. Took the connector off, checked voltages/resistances (they all seemed normal), so I put it back on (no cleaning of the valve or t/b or anything), and then it worked fine. So it could be something as simple as a loose plug....

Kinda reminds me of some of the bullshit stuff that Howard got through the Senate because they had majority [cough]GST[/cough].

Nope, solid coil-sprung rear.

PWPMO - poeple who don't use the search function or start a new thread very similar in concept to a long-standing and highly viewed/posted-in thread.....

WGMG - just got some plant number plates back from the laser-cutters, and they're mild steel when they should be 316 stainless. Did some investigating, found out the material wasn't specified on the drawings (a result of a drawing format change since the last ones were made), f@$king drafty forgot to set the material parameter and update the draft...... Oh wait, I'm the drafty. Bugger.

3. Ian 455 up, 254 down Scottish version of the English name John. The corruption stems from as late as 1989 from the Indiana Jones film "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade". In this film, Harrison Ford plays Indiana (Dr) Jones, who nearly plunges to his death when he steps on the letter "J" as the first letter of the word "Jehovah", when every good classical scholar knows that this word actually begines with an "I". Therefore, seeing as though I was actually born in 1979, for the first 10 years of my life I was known as "Jan", and it was only with the release of this film that my true name of "Ian" was made known to me through the self eveident truths of Holywood. Jehovah! no sorry, I mean Iahovah! no, I mean Ian Ian 154 up, 31 down The kind of guy that will set your entire house on fire if he gets bored. I wanted to get out of her house because Ian was over there. 5. ian 127 up, 25 down a charismatic, if slightly nutty, male. has little regard for the opinions of others. can see through the walls that people build. kirby: i'm bored stiff. alex: don't worry, i'm calling an ian. 1. rigby 8 up, 7 down The act of inserting part of your scrotum into your anus. Verb denoting said act. Guy, the other day I was watching reruns of Married with Children and scratching my balls on the couch -- I decided to see how far my scrotum could stretch and ended up rigbying myself. 2. Rigby is a game you play with a stick. -- whats her name? - rigby. --- isnt that a game? - no thats rugby. -- oh, then whats rigby? - a game you play with a stick. -- awesome! As is normal with Urban Dictionary, it gets a lot, lot worse......

2006 = ZZE122 (ZRE didn't start until 2007) = 4x100 PCD with high FWD offset (+38>40 odd) KE30 = 4x114.3 with RWD offset (+20) So no, they will not fit (unless they are multistud aftermarkets, but even then the offset will screw things up)

Bill Sherwood's 3SGE is a blacktop BEAMS motor though, so it's already set up for RWD. Most 3SGEs are FWD, and require a fair bit of work (lots of work in the case of 3SGTEs)
