Cheers mate. We're about 2-3 weeks away from cert it would appear. It all seems to be coming together quite well now, but I suppose we've both been pretty focussed on getting it all done. It's been an awesome team effort, with the work split about 50:50 between me and Chris (except his wallet...

10,005 today Dave. Well done bro. This site just keeps growing and it's a testament to all of the hard work put in by its members. let's continue to be L'extreme...!!

Update Here's a few pics to update the build. First pics are of the exhaust and gearbox mounts. That gearbox mount is version 2, as the first one sat quite low and didn't have that much clearance from the exhaust (plus it looked rubbish). Third pic. We cut the door skins out and secured...

For those of you looking to wire up the CSI Just correcting my earlier post... Here is a link to a doc from toyota covering toyota injection and cold starting: www.autoshop101.com/forms/h22.pdf My earlier pic (in post 15) was rubbish so here's an extract from the doc above explaining how...

cold start circuit Hi Keri, the timer switch/thermo switch is the brown plugged one in the water bridge. It has a bi-metal strip in it that will open when hot due to water temp, or when current passes through it for a time. It measures ~30 ohms when cold and ~50 ohms when hot, or after bimetal...

a very clean install indeed. Well done

have you checked the ECU for error codes?

We pay $2 a litre for gas over in NZ now, which makes it the equivalent of ~$5.90USD/gal using today's exchange rate... bugger

The Green temp sender is the one that the ECU needs, so as long as it's still connected and functioning, the ECU will be happy.

Hi Keri, I had a spare brown sensor out in the workshop, and measured the resistance so that if you're still having problems you could compare measurements. P/n is 89462-20030. Cold resistance (ie in the fridge) is ~30 ohms, and in hot water for a minute the resistance changes quickly to ~50...

The cold start injector needs to be fed 12V (with ignition on) which is series connected to the brown thermo sender on the water bridge. It might need a ground too.

Hi Andrew, I've seen the flocked dashes on rally cars, if that's what you're meaning, and have had a look at some DIY flocking kits, but haven't yet managed to find a solution in a spray can. Here are a few examples for those of you that don't know what flocking is: Proper electrostatic...

Cabin progress here's some a pic of the progress made so far this weekend, The gauges are in now, the placement may look a strange, but that's so the driver can see them all when he or she (yeah right!) is strapped in. The centre console is all done, just have to stitch up a leather boot to...

Hi David, I've got a dashboard that needs powder coating, but it might be a bit far to send it! Nick

I've got a spare one at home that you can have if you can't find one closer. Nick

Hi Jeff, yes that should work, if you're uncertain on any connections, just trace the wires. Nick

It's a crown ecu, you'll be fine if you use the Kdog's crown ecu diagrams.

Hey Kaos, have a look over at uzswap.com and check out some of the swap pics of hiluxes and surfs. There might be some extra info there too.

The engine will rev up and down for a bit as that's likely the idle control circuit calibrating/setting the idle for the first time. If you've got air leaks though it won't be able to set the idle properly. Also check for error codes.
