As we would say over here "Buggar the Corona", what condition is the Citroen DS behind it in? A good, honest, unmolested example would be worth an absolute fortune here over the pond as they are as rare as rocking horse doo dah.. Cheers, Tony

The correct terminology is "exhaust manifolds", its only the colonials living in our ex-empire who use other terms. :wink1: On the subject of go faster bits, forget the ebay hairdryer option. I take it as you asked the ebay question that you didnt fit the turbo to your Skyline yourself. That...

What year is the car ( obviously pre VW) as I saw a mint early 90's Bentley Turbo R last night at a car show and the plenum from the factory was a work of art ( all finned, enamelled and detailed) that plenum is an abortion in contrast. Also the injection system was a Bosch derived mechanical...

Did a bit more searching on the drivetrain/ suspension brakes section of the site and discover that I need some sensors from Lexus, or remove the bulb from the display. Ahem ........the car cost £300 ( $600) so I guess its hand up the back of the dashboard time. Cheers, Tony

Guys, I have a 94 LS400 and despite having new pads and discs ( rotors) fitted front and rear, the brake pad wear warning light is continously illuminated. I can't find any wear sensors in the pads themselves, therefore I am assuming that the warning light is triggered, by a sensor in the...

Guys, Here in the UK we are now at $11.80 per gallon for super unleaded........:nutkick: Please send donations to................ Cheers, Tony

Hi Guys, I'm preparing the bargain LS400 barge I bought last year for its annual inspection and I have to get the rear fog lights operational. The fog light switch on the dashboard works and the relay in the boot ( located behind the tool tray) clicks healthily, so the switch is powered ok...

Hi Flash, where are you based. If anywhere in the Midlands Thor Racing at Warwick will be able to sort your ECU requirements without any problems. Cheers, Tony

Thanks Devojet the very useful document confirmed exactly what I was thinking. It is the clearest explanation of how the ECT works I've yet seen. My mind is now at peace and I'll finish the wiring and get the car into the trimmers. Le Mans Classsic here we come !! Cheers, Tony:slomo:

I'd change the Water Pump Timing Belt Timing Belt idler pulleys. Cheers, Tony

I'm going boggle eyed at these wiring diagrams here but please correct me if I'm wrong. Putting power down the blue yellow wire into pin 6 of the ecu tells the ecu to engage overdrive when condition allow. Then when you switch the power from the ecu to the overdrive off light ( by using...

And the number of the OD pin is? Cheers, Tony

Guys, Just got one last wire to connect before sending the first 1UZFE powered Lexus Cobra in the UK to the trimmers. I need to finalise which wire I send 12v down into the ECU to switch overdrive on and off. I have a four connector ECU and loom with 28/16/22/34 pin from a 1993 LS400...

Hi Thomas, You are a man after my own heart having a beer in the garage. I hope it was a Grolsch and not a Trappiste otherwise I'd check what work you did on the engine last night........... is that manifold supposed to be upside down?...........Those monks know how to make a brew!! I had a...

Update, Just spoke with Mocal who have put two fittings for my two Lexus Cobras in the post for delivery tomorrow £16 all in. When I fit the turbo's I'll only need another £4 T-piece and its all sorted. Again thanks for the info. Cheers, Tony

Many, many thanks guys, I think you've got my problems sorted. Cheers, Tony

Hi, Its close to 1/8NPT but the threads aren't as tapered ( if at all) as they are on the aftermarket sender unit which is definitely 1/8 NPT. I'm worried about screwing a tapered thread into the oil housing on the engine as any adaptor over here has a tapered thread. Thanks for the...

Guys, Can anyone tell me the thread sizes on the Oil pressure switch that screws into the block as I'm looking for an adapter that will screw into the block that will accept both the original oil pressure switch and a new sender for an oil pressure gauge that uses a 1/8 x27 NPT thread. The...

Just as an aside have you had a look at the Team III wheels specifically the LTIII's. They look very much like Minilites and I'm buying at least one set for one of the Cobra's in my garage in the very near future. Look at www.team3wheels.com. Pricing is very good and they seem very helpful...
