    Gauge cluster

    Does anyone know if gauge cluster from a JZZ30 (JDM) will fit in a UZZ30 without or with minor modifications?

    Ignition key lock malfunction

    That was the first thing I've tried, seems like parking position switch or the wire is broken.

    Ignition key lock malfunction

    My (93' SC400) ignition key got locked up (could not turn to 'lock' position or pull it out), I could unlock/remove it by removing fuse marked as 'CIG' (cigarette lighter). It saved me for short term but, problem is that this fuse is also feeding climate control that is vital for me to defog...

    Performance upgrade?

    Performance upgrade?

    I think you need to work on your intake manifold(bottle neck) and then match throttle body(s).

    Performance upgrade?

    Wide and short intake will greatly improve high rpm torque and throttle response at cost of low rpm torque. Having throttle plate(s) as close as possible to intake valves will improve the response. I guess your buggy is going to climb at high RPM so might want to keep it wide, not sure how much...

    Performance upgrade?

    I think that would depend on your goal. If you want more low-end torque, high-end torque or throttle response.

    Performance upgrade?

    The kit on ebay does not seem to be filtered, but you can probably manufacture filters yourself. You can either create mountable filters on top of horns or make filtering gasket. Here are some examples I found...

    What would YOU do?

    I would spend my money the way I would want/feel like. You should stop asking what other people would do and just act on your own thought. If you want to trade for M3, go right ahead and get one. You have one life so why not try different things while at it and learn? That'd depend on...

    Performance upgrade?

    Bulletcar M112 kit is the only (that I know of) profesional complete kit for 1UZ still in production at this time. Its expensive and by design it can not run low boost or fit an intercooler unless you modify your hood (quite a few inches). There was the Richwood manifold, but I don't think the...

    Performance upgrade?

    Like many people have stated in many places, M90 is a V6 supercharger and can only deliver low boost. So if you want to upgrade later on to higher boost (and you probably want), you will need to replace both the manifold and the M90 to something bigger, so why not just go with M112 to begin with...

    Performance upgrade?

    You can also order Bulletcars(New Zealand) professional M112 manifold, but its significantly higher than LP1's. For it to fit you need to run pulley that is 2.75 or smaller, meaning your components have to be able to support 10psi or more without intercooler. Oh, and it costs 3 times more than...

    Performance upgrade?

    Might want to also look into ITB, Ive seen a 1uz-fe kit on ebay that has reasonable price. Would not put it in a street car but would do nice on an offroader.
