plates arrived today..!

Ended up getting the Q signature plate instead of the flexi? :hmm:

 

Can't wait to see it on the car! if you get reprints can you get them in flexi as well??

thanks guys..!

and dave the signature series and flexi are 2 different types, i just felt that these looked more 'classic' than the others?

plus they were $300 cheaper :-/

so yeah if anyone wants, "KE10" in flexi 2x2 should still be there

Yeah! they look pretty cool and I haven't really seen signature ones on any cars, I just thought you had still booked them in for flexi :)

defnitly just jizzed in my pants LOL nah seriously great car can't wait to see it at the all jap day in june and was good to find out about the club rego bit cause i want to get the 55 on club rego when its all finished and painted new

engine is in and going, going real well.

lumpy secksee idle, FTW

the toyoglide needs sorting out, it feels like its slipping in drive.

reverse is fine.

i think its either the low band, the kickdown adjustment, or maybe the shifter linkage?

only things i can think of.

if anyone has any experience or suggestions, id love to hear

i have been told these are a simple box, but i think i might need to take it to Gilroy's, if i can't figure it out.

got thursday off for the show, so ima have a good look then

ordered my mirrors tonight

will put up some more pics when i can get it out of the shed, cleaned, and daylight, prob thurs

sorry about my lack of replies on my sales threads, been hooking into this girl, to get her ready for the sunday T'bar cruise

Sounds good mate glad it all went good for u :)

Damn! Those are the mirrors i've been eyeing off for mine!

 

Check your fluid level in the toyoglide, mine had no oil in it at all and wouldn't move anywhere as it'd just slip, topped it up and it's fine

thanks Joel. can't thank you enough mate..!

and Jono, i drained all the fluids in the engine/box/diff and replaced them.

i filled the auto to the recommended 4.7 Lt's. and its saying its slightly overfull.

was even thinking that may be the cause?

gonna drain a bit tomorrow, and get it spot on, and see how i go.

any other suggestions, i'd greatly appreciate... i have nfi....

Going by the Gregory's manual -

 

Slipping or rough in up-shift

• Incorrectly adjusted throttle linkage.
• Incorrectly adjusted kick down valve control linkage.

Slipping at all speeds

• Low fluid level in transmission.
• Incorrect transmission fluid in unit.
• Incorrectly adjusted shift lever

Apart from that, it could be that the band needs to be tightened.

 

If you need a hand tomorrow, i'm free.

played with the auto a bit when i got home from work, but ran out of light..

it engages in park, reverse, neutral, but not drive.

well sorta doesnt..

it feels likes its taking off in second gear, not in first, or its slipping like a mofo.

and it definitely stays in one gear.

took it around the block, its stays in that one gear no matter what i do.

i have no bloody idea what I'm doing, i wonder if its the selector linkage needs adjusting so it can force it down enough to first.?

driving as a manual.

really hope to have her sorted for the cruise on sunday.

might put a separate post up asking for advice in the mechanical threads?

hoyl sht..!

 

"Incorrect transmission fluid in unit."

 

i didnt even check what i bought.....

you might have cracked it mate.

I used Valvoline ATF DX-3 when i had the auto in my late '30.

will double check the bottle in the morning mate.

I'm certain its valvoline of some variety

 

edit:

yeah def the same as what you use mate

DX3

so, i got stuck into her today(show holiday up here), and Rob and Dave rocked around to help out.

thanks heaps guys...!

got the tuning pretty much spot on.

i owe you bigtime, Joel...! love this engine

got the auto shifter adjusted right.

sorted the kickdown out, had to adjust her out a bit to suit the extra height of the 5k...

took it around the block, and it definitely slips in drive.

and i have no room to adjust the Low band, without taking the lot out again, so off to Gilroy's in the morning if he has the time to look at it.

a vid of it idling after we tuned her.

needs a wash and detail/vacuum now.

 

i truly hope Gilroy's can sort her out in time for the cruise....

 

huge thanks to Rob and Dave for the help and moral support today..!

so much better bouncing ideas off other people when fault finding, than talking to myself, lol
