    Catalytic converters, Scrap value?

    What is a fair price to sell these for? I have a couple of mangled ones, 2002 LS430, took them to a scrap metal dealer, They valued them at $20 the pair. As there is a thriving industry in the states stealing these of cars in car parks etc. I figure they could be worth a bit more. I'm in...

    What is the main kit, part or mod you need that isn't available?

    That's further back than a front sump, It's called rear,more mid, but hardly rear. The Sudsy one looks great, but about 7 years to late for me, I had to mod a 3UZ from an LS430 to clear the crossmember

    Updated: Valve Leaking Problems

    "I also replaced all valve stems so that isn't an issue, and i can still feel the air leaking out of the intake and exhaust ports." Replaced the valve stems? or just the seals?

    I'm referring to factory 3UZ with no immobiliser. They exist. I own one. We had this conversation on Toymods 10 years ago, George. I will see if I can find the thread

    1975 Datsun 280z, potential 3uz or 1uz vvti swap

    1975 Datsun 280z, potential 3uz or 1uz vvti swap

    If you havn't ever done a swap, start with something easy. 240/260/280Z with 1JZ/1JZ is a real easy one. can be done over a couple of weekends, and makes BIG power. Check my build thread , sticky on Toyota 6 cylinder on hybridz.org...
