    Timing belt on 97 - Does this look original?

    Thanks for your reply, Yeah I think it probably is safe to do the cambelt now. Also I have a full head gasket kit so I am going to pull it all to bits anyway to paint the inlet manifolds and rocker covers so everything will get a fresh new gasket. I doubt leads and caps have been done. I will...

    Timing belt on 97 - Does this look original?

    Hi guys, This motor I got has supposed to have done 113k. I wanted to do a cambelt and water pump while it's out but looks like it has already been done not long ago and I should not bother? The motor is a recent Japan import and I have a mate coming back to NZ from Washington who could being...

    7.2 Earthquake @ Christchurch NZ?

    So we just had another epic shake in Christchurch. 65 confirmed dead after about 8 hours and could probably expect double that at least. Flipin' crazy after the first one where no one at all was killed and this was less on the rhictor scale.. I'm trying to track down a few mates there. Got...

    Megasquirt value?

    Got a mate here selling his MS1 V3 kit. At $200 at the moment. http://www.trademe.co.nz/Browse/Listing.aspx?id=318807821&ed=true

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    I sent you a message not long ago sideshow but don't bother reading it, I definitely won't be going VVTi. I want to sell the motor I have and get the 95 one for a few reasons. First is the current motor appears to have done 260k (Two cambelt stickers - one over the other). Second is I'm not...

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Yeah I just did a bit of research on VVTi, looks like the security in them is too hard unless you get a front cut which is far over my budget. I think I will sell mine and get a 95-97 with sequential and lighter internals seeing I won't be turbo charging it. Already have a car waiting for me to...

    7.2 Earthquake @ Christchurch NZ?

    Everyone in CHCH is fine as far as lifes go. Unfortunately there was another tragedy this weekend when a small skydiving aircraft with nine people on board crashed in the South Island also. No survivors. http://www.stuff.co.nz/dominion-post/4096894/Nine-dead-as-plane-crashes-in-fireball

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    It's probably going to be a while before I get anything done on the wiring side. Will see how your motor runs BK on the Spirtonic. I can buy a new Advance here with the gears etc for 4,400ZAR. I'm getting keen to just sell my bare motor and buy a complete ready to go later model motor...

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Yes, that's true. The sequential is not a massive deal. Do all the later engines have VVT? If so that puts that idea out the door. Too hard. Meh, will most probably end up just doing it all factory.

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Yes I have exhausted all avenues. Link, motec, autronic, megasquirt (cheap but nasty). All way overpriced. The demand is such in NZ that a Link that will run sequential injection is around $2600NZD. I really don't want to spend all that on a motor that is going to stay mostly stock! Want to...

    7.2 Earthquake @ Christchurch NZ?

    Damage to Zed. Bonnet, guard and wiper panel are royally ruined. Windscreen smashed, roof has two big dents in A pillar region from bricks. 260c was similar. Wall they were parked next to. Note rows of bricks missing from top, and roof not supported for like 5m. Wall is very dodgy...

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Threads are better if they drift. So... The series 2 1uz has full sequential from factory. Has anyone ever used a later fully sequential ECU on an early motor? I think it would probably make my motor go that little bit better if I could in fact do this. Late ECU from a 1996 UCF20 Celsior...

    7.2 Earthquake @ Christchurch NZ?

    Ok here. A mate in CHCH had a wall fall on his 260c Nissan and 240Z. Not too major but broken glass and dented panels. http://www.nzherald.co.nz/nz/news/image.cfm?c_id=1&gal_objectid=10671049&gallery_id=113677#7073399

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Yeah, it's a bit annoying being fed bullshit. Anyway think I'll steer clear of that one. Thanks for clearing that up. Why can't they just put two more injector outputs then their crap will sell a lot better. What are the chances of getting an older motor (say 1992) running on the late model...

    Standalone ECU Spitronic ECU & 1uz Kit

    Hi fellas, any of you SA guys used these? I want to know if they will do fully sequential injection on the v8 and not just semi-sequential paired (like the factory 1uz ecu). Thought I would try here before annoying them. The site is http://www.spitronics.co.za/ Cheers.

    Lots of 1uz's

    Would so have one of these with a 1uz in it for the wife / kids. (If I had a wife / kids) http://pics.sr4000.com/picsbig/1200085292-6-10595/Toyota-Estima--266541.jpg

    Mount front number plate on a hinge? The plate on dads cruiser is not visible at 100. Suppose 50 it will be partly. Excuse is it gets smashed off in the mud otherwise.
