My parents like to put on a good light show at christmas time, they are the only people in the street to put some time and effort into the christmas spirit. And what happens???!!! A bunch of young rich spoilt assed kids turn up and try as hard as they can to rip almost an entire side of my...

Police these days have thier hands tied, which is why it gets out of hand. I live in a town where a drunk, stoned and drug f****d unlicenced 16yr old hit and killed a young boy, did a runner dumped the car hid in a relatives roof. And got off...with no charge. One part of the town is cop no go...

Got a some more work done today, fixing up the guttering on the RH side. Smoothing out the inner rear door is slowing me down a fair bit though.

Bloody awesome engine, and if I had the money I would have already purchased it!!!

Here's some pics after I removed the chrome inserts around the front and rear windscreen and the roof guttering. Some you can kind of see the junk that was caught under the inserts, not much (if any) major rust around here, which is surprising.

On a 27 year old car, you have to expect the dreaded tin worm, but now i see myself stripping paint from the doors to fix up all the "imperfections" from factory spot welds and find myself looking at some small things on the car and thinking 'I can make that look better'. The car was never meant...

Hmmm, a nice big shed full of everything you could possibly need and some(a lot of???) money to finish off my HZ!!! PLEASE SANTA I've been soooo good this year!

Progress is a bit slow at the moment, bit hard to do stuff without money. But after chrissy the ball should start rolling, and if nothing goes wrong (wishful thinking I know) should be running my mid 2006.

Your turbo setup has finally confirmed how I will set mine in my HZ, there seems to be a fair bit of room still even with all the piping!!!. Now I finally know that the setup will work, I can hook in and(try to) catch up!!! Anyone wanna swap a RH SSautochrome header for a LH one??!!!! :)

Using a TH400 wouldnt be such a bad thing, despite not having an overdrive. The amount of power it can hold, cheap and available parts can far out weigh the problems. The new 6 spd Lexus g/box probably isnt a great idea as it would require a seperate computer to run it, and I doubt if there is...

If only it was that easy, the nuts are not the problem. I still have no idea why the studs will not screw in far enough on those 2 locations, they were the only ones not to screw in far enough, which I didn't know until 2 inlet cams broke. I would have taken a pic of what I'm talking about, but...

I was a bit scared to post this, but after WEEKS of testing, test fitting AND 2 broken inlet cams, I've found that 2 of my arp studs(one on either side) will not fit in under the inlet cam gear. I've checked everything that would be causing interferance. I used different studs and I had the same...

ACL in australia make "high compression" forged pistons, they are 10.5:1, but with .027" gaskets it should be getting close 11:1.

I think its a great idea, it also help identify any oil or water leaks(if any) and any other problems the engine may have BEFORE it's installed in the vehicle. It will also give your engine a definate power figure.

All of the Supras run 5.1 litre versions of the UZ engine, and yes make around 480+hp through inlet restrictors.

I'm not sure if I'm stating the obvious, but is it a 60 degree "V"???

As above, just need to know what the pitch is. Thanks

The best price going around where I am, is $1.26 for ULP. And I hear that it could be $1.40 by the end of the week, which would mean out here (western N.S.W) that it get to $1.45-$1.50...ouch!!! I would hate to own a car that would require 98RON petrol.

Thanks mate, Lex also gave me the info as well. That's why I like the people in this forum, everyone is all to happy lend a hand. Thank You!

Does somebody have a diagram on the tightening order of the cam caps? I've had a look on this site and I can't seem to find anything on it, just the torque settings.
