what Japanese car day?

ok...i came across another 'box and put that in. and have now sold the car ;)

sounds nuts fella's, but i'd love to be there

hey fellas I'm going to try and make it, just need to re-assemble the front suspension and I'm there Thomas

No drama's Adam. I have to swap out the G50 in the Hilux and tune the carbs on the Celica before I get to the rolla box, but i'll post for sure. Tom

that sounds right. I'll see if I can get some bearings and have a go at it. might do some gaskets and seals while i'm there...

Hi I've just put a K50 behind a 3K in a KE20. The 'box is high km's and makes a very loud whining noise in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th. 4th is quiet. It only does this when under load. The guy I bought if from says it's 'bearing noise'. With noisy boxes I normaly just keep driving them 'till they explode, and put another one in. However, I've had some succes repairing toyota boxes in the past, so I might try fixing this one, but a few questions first: 1) Do you thinkn it's just bearing noise? ie replace the bearings and it's fixed? 2) How far can I push it before she explodes? 3) If a bearing goes can I still drive home and then repair the box? or is it all over? 4) Does anyone know details of the bearings in a K50 so I can buy them before I even pull the box out? Cheers, Thomas

will probably be offshore for work on the 4th but i'm keen, so i'll keep checking for future meets
