Mr Revhead

buy a new knock sensor.... and make sure its the right one.... different sensors send different signals

you guys that can drive 30mins and still not have a working heater prob need to change ya thermostats. stuck open is a common problem for the 4age in the ae82/ae92s. there is no doubt if you can drive than long and not have it warme dup that you have a problem

i bet its a hell of a lot hotter AFTER the charger!

well spent the weekend at rally rotorua left town 5pm friday, arrived in rotorua at midnight to be told that i need to be up at 4am to make 1st service..... great. so we leave at 430am and drive 200ks to first service.. madness service park was in some hick town miles from anywhere, no cell reception, one shop a schoop and a pub. great. oh and it was raining. no, wait, it was RAINING great managed to stay dry for a coupla hours, until it pelted down during the 1st service on EVOETA. now we are running 2 cars this year, and to be honest we're a bit stretched for people, however rally rotorua allowed flexi service so that eased things a lot. refuel was on a grass patch that turned to thick mud instantly, was fun to watch the 2wd cars slide through on the limiter at about 2 kmh :D only issues on saturday was a coupla flappy bumpers and a bonnet scoop coming off..... richard hit a water splash (rear river!) too hard in the motu. that wet the air filter and caused a power loss, so final service we did replaced the turbo. finally got back to the hotel at 930 that night SOAKING wet. but was worth it with richard finishing the day in 2nd overall, 1st NZRC (rotorua is a round of the APRC) cody crocker won the day. day 2 service was in rotorua itself, so we slept in till 5am :worship: was a pretty straight forward day, no issues on the car, only problem we had was the service park co-ordinator giving the wrong directions to the refuel, as such we missed out on refulling the cars....... not so much of an issue on todds car as that has about 15-20 ltrs more capacity than richards..... rich had about 5 ltrs left at the next refuel! speaking of fuel..... as it was part of the APRC we are allowed to use FIA WRC spec fuel. man that stuff sure gives you a head ache :( day 2 went to plan, so much so that after stage 3 rich decieded he was gunna chase crocker.... by now rich was several minutes ahead of 2nd in the NZRC. so rich put the hammer down..... and took like 19 seconds off crocker in one stage.... from 13sec down rich was now in the lead by 6 seconds!! at the end of the day, richard was first, crocker 2nd... and man we were happy!!! todd finished 3rd in NZRC. richs main rival chris west retired both days, one with turbo failure, 2nd with no oil pressure. so now we have a 26 point lead over sam murray. all in all a pretty good result :thumbsup: rotorua results rotorua pics

oh ffs its brad. I'm off!! :( welcome guys

fastest car iv owned would prob be my aw11, which i still have. no idea on its full potential yet, first track date is in 2 weeks :D

oh one story i forgot to add... as part of the classic section they had jimmy mcrae (yes colins dad) driving an rs1800 :) and fabrizia pons co driving a 911. anyway jimmy won last year and was trying again this year. however he stuck it on its roof in a creek :paw: at the prize giving he was telling the story and said he txt all his family to let them know he was ok just in case they heard about it. apparantly colin txt back: "son, youv just got to calm down" :D

oh it wasnt all fun.... there was some stress there on friday and sat nights with a few people getting told!! man did we put in some hours..... but yes, i do love it!

got on the ferry at 3am thursday morning and drove straight to dunedin started work straight away sortign things we hadnt sorted before leaving. then at scrutineering they wanted to inspect the turbo on todds car (no6 BYACAR) so dues to space limits we had to tow the car back to the motel and put it back together there. unfortunatly the oil line broke (faulty weld on the fitting) just as it was just about done, so we had to pull it out and go get it welded. lost of other stuff left to do and we finally got it to forbury park with abotu 5 mins to spare. then it spat all the coolant out Mad faulty fan switch, lucky it didnt overheat the engine and it was sorted. so day one..... we arrive at lake waihola to find 3 cars parked in our service park.... one was owned by a rally team so got that shifted no problem, but the other 2 were owned by duck hunters.... so out with the jack and shove them out of the way! first few stages went ok, richard won 1st stage, then 3rd and 2nd. todd dinged the rear left over a 7 crest..... reckoned that was a scary moment as he said if he was in a mitis hed have been in the trees..... so first service was pretty busy, sorting the damage on BYACAR (btw car 1 richards has the plate EVOETA, quite good i thought) i think therell be some footage of us rushing around on that as there was HEAPS of media there. may even see me trip and fall flat on my face Embarassed 2nd service was more routine, again recheck the alignment on todds car as he wasnt happy with it. richard ended up winning day one and todd 7th, so all in all we were very happy. now todds car had an annoying habit of pulling hard right under throttle so back the motel we started looking into that. going over the alignment etc. the damn thing still pulled right.... at about 8pm the motel staff were starting to get a bit shitty with us making noise..... so rich was on the phone trying to jack up a workshop. alister gilmour (emmas dad) was kind enough to let us use his workshop. so we started on yet another alignment check, wheel base check and looked for stuffed bushes cracks loose bits etc etc. NOTHING so we changed drive shafts, and the rear diff. we even jacked it up locked the diffs marked the tyres and counted the revolutions to make sure all the ratios were correct. NOTHING so we gave up at about 11 as alister had to go. so parked on the road outside the motel after that we start to put new tyres on the cars ready for the first stage of sunday. then we noticed something...... the left side tyres on todds car were bulged.... as in the tread wasnt flat across the cross section but bulged out like a bike tyre.... the wear marks also showed they didnt wear like that, thats how they were made! so we looked at the new ones and found a lot of the left hand ones were the same!!! so a frantic search for 8 good ones saw the cars with good tyres and todds car going straight! so day 2 saw some of us off to waihola, and 2 of the guys off to find a tyre shop to fit some good tyres. services went as planned, only issue was a horror flap coming off on richards car, no issues from that, youd be suprised how fast a suspension arm can be worn away from gravel...... during the day we found out that several others had the same tyres issues... so dunlop nz will have some explainging to do.... last stage of the day was forbury park. we were second by about 10 secs from chris west. but overall we were 0.1 seconds ahead for the rally win.... so they decided to run rich and chris seperatly as opposed to in pairs like the others. it was pretty intense.... chris set a time 0.2 faster than rich so he took the rally win however it was timed by stopwatch.... not the same system as used for the stages..... so we left dunedin tied first in points. but theres a long way to go yet! NZRC Richard Mason

however google disagres..... but it was never avail here in nz or in japan. and isnt on my epc, which covers 3 of the 4 toyota do. so its a rare one for only a few markets i guess

my epc concurs with me

i can quite honestly say i have never heard of a 6a

6A?? wtf. where are you?

SACRELEGE BURN THEM IN HELL!!!

lots of oil out the breather usually means the head is gunged up and the oil can't drain back fast enough

i don't understand.... its the ecu supplied by toyota with the car isnt it? tweaked by toyota to run the turbo? then they sort it..... wheres the confusiosn? if its under warranty don't go else where.

as above. with force. i work at a toyota dealer here in nz and if we treated a customer like that we'd have a manager from toyota nz so far up our arses his hair would tickle our tonsils. its got issues and its under warranty, they fix. no discussion. sounds like you may need to involve that soliciter you mentioned before!

is the starter motor on the exhaust side?

thats not true. and youll need tuning no matter how u go about it yes 100kw bottem end is the better start. for the cost of a ze you can buy and rebuild a 100kw bottem end with NEW ze pistons TRD bearings and new gaskets

yes but its a pure drag engine they also have some funny ideas like only using 8.0:1 pistons.

jason, we're talking about 20v engines..... yours is a 16v you need to order a gasket set for an early ae92 gtz or aw11 s/c bearings are the same. how much have you been quoted for a gasket set?

open diff and one wheel will spin. lsd both spin and it increases. google torque steer, theres some interesting articles out there

yes they can however u wont be happy with the reliability as jason said..... heaps of info out there. but basiclly: rebuild with 4agze pistons and rings fit 3sgte injectors use aftermarket ecu

the s/c has its own internal oil supply. they do how ever use air and air valves to control the pressure in the bearings so the grease doesnt get pushed out. carbs can be tricky with forced induction, but by no means impossilbe. you need to get some suitable for a blow through setup as for revs you don't want to run a crank pully any bigger than about 170mm. that should give you around 12psi, but research that a bit more as i could be wrong. and 12 is about the max you can run them at

yeah hes right, that afm does fit those! just double check as oz spec ones are different on some models
