Bump - Been ages since I have been here! I sold my engine to a guy who drove about 160km's to get it! He also picked up another 1UZ with the same piston/Rod config. As for my Reliant Kitten Drag car - The idea got canned because most of my parts were stolen and when I imported the car it was...

I am going to list my long engine. It's astock ichibarn uz1 with a front sump. It's stripped down to bare block and I have no intake manifold, main pulley or coils. It has been stripped for a bit and needs a bit of a clean up. I will give you all the parts I have for it. Including Ross Racing...

Hi Rms, I would be interested to know more about your front engine plate. I have been thinking of building one with an original spec oil pump machined into it and also possibly a water pump too. I am planning on building a 6:71 roots blown Drag engine of around 600 - 700 hp running efi and...

I lost both mine at the same time, with no explanation, replacing the globes fixed the problem but follow what Zuffen said or just buy new globes and if it's not the globes you can keep the new one's in the glovebox for spares. A Techniction at work told me it is very rare to blow both at the...

Hi Maverick, Welcome to the forum. 170km/h eh? Your 92 soarer is certainly fitted with all new bushings. Cant do that speed without them. I'd be interested in your next post: 170km/h into a Kangerroo. :Eyecrazy: I remember doing the Kakadoo in a tiny hire car travelling at 120km/h most...

I would be interested but i'll check my roster. Nath

I did'nt get my license until I was 25. The day I got my P's was the same day I was picking up my new car - a 1963 Chevy Belair lowrider. So my first day driving unassisted was a peak hour drive accross the other side of sydney. (50km) The car was delivered with no oil or water much to my...

I've got my engine on the red stand as in the above pic. I would not try to start it on this though, even though the flywheel is un-obstructed. This stand it too high off the ground and has a too high centre of gravity. My engine is just the block on the stand st the moment by the stand would...

I have a uz31 air bagged 92 soarer which was all over the road. The wheel turned 45 degrees before the car did. and it was almost impossible to drive, throwing me to the left or right without notice, then me over correctin to compensate. It was a nightmare that was instantly sorted by replacing...

I just gave one coil to a mate to get his "Jacob's Ladder" working. I could give you my other one. Although I probably should keep it fjust in case, I am willing to give it away. I am reckless like that :) I am in Sydney Aus. Nath - you'd you to fix me up shipping I guess. Nath

I too was very shocked with this news and found out the hard way, I work at Channel Ten and am in charge of the picture on your telly at home, I got a phone call to run a News crawl across the screen, Steve Irwin - Dead. I had to work really hard at that moment and it was like hearing my brother...

Hi everyone, Well completly bad news I am afraid. Last night theives broke into my garage and Stole My GM 6:71 Supercharger, my FAT lexus supercharger manifold, 2 spare 6:71 rotors and my Crager 10inch rims with Micky M/T 29.5 x 11.5 x 15 tyres all in brand new condition. Thankyou for all...

Here is a quick rundown as I see it. Sydney - The most expensive, Typically aggogant and cut throat in it's approach to success, the outer suburbs away from the city exist unto themselves and that tend to govern their lifestyle - some nice areas with good council facilities, some bad / dodgy...

where are you at with this David? Any pics of the 1uz vewrsion? I am still interested as it may solve the use of a blower pully support for the 6:71. Cheers, Nath

Here is a pic of the inside it needs a bit of a clean up but is quite nice and not missing anything.
