Another vintage car for the show and shine, the devil is in the detail, well done and nearly there.

At least you will be able to enter the vintage category of the car shows when she's all done. Do we run a book again on estimated FWHP? Love Ya work John, keep us posted.

just buy one of these and get it cut local will cost bugger all. This thread should also be moved to driveline section. http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Custom-1UZ-1UZFE-W58-and-W5x-Gearbox-Adapter-/200320526425?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item2ea408a859

Thanks guys, For me it is a hobby so doing it all myself was the idea, there are so many of these cars built by cheque book builders who then take credit for other peoples work. It did look good with the satin finish and I did consider swapping to satin clear coat but had already bought the...

Time for another update. Over the last 6 months or so I have been busy painting the cobra. I set up my shed as a paint shop complete with a $15 fan in the door and $1.50 plastic drop sheets. This worked amazingly well as the static from the dust sheets also attracted any paint and dust. I...

I'm surprised it lasted that long if it is 10mm too short. I have a Dellows bell and slave set up on R154 and 1uz that has worked faultless for 3 years. My Flywheel and clutch are by others.

Stay low boost and keep the dizzy set up it works fine. Many people still retain it on much higher boost with no issues. MS3 looks good value and will run the engine with no issues.

Looks like you had fun, well done.

My old M90 set up would smoke the belt up but after I put a few squirts of belt grip on the problem went away completly. Stand alone ecu is the way to go if have a few more $ spare, Adaptronc now do the Select range which is the upgrade to the E420c. Software is the same. They might even...

Pressure is a resistance to flow, pressure will also increase with air temperature. You need to be mindful of where you are taking the pressure readings from to best know what is going on in the system, taking readings pre and post cooler would be best way to check pressure drop. The lag...

Colder air will give you less pressure not less power. If you have no air leaks I would say the cheap bar and plate cooler is working well. Are you monitoring post supercharger temps and post cooler temps? Also look out for the 440ccc supra injectors on US ebay, I bought 2 sets for about $20 a...

Oh and in the kind of area you are looking at.

The blues need all the support they can get in the state of origin they have been spanked for years now........ What suburb you looking to move to? I have a house in QLD that will be looking for a new tenant in November. 4 bed, 2 bath, double garage, 6x6m shed, inground pool with spa, 1/4...

looks fab u lush, well done.

Dead stock 1uz would still be more than enough to get to the shops and have some fun and would be my choice for ease of fitment. As for your beast engine goes it's a small market. Might be a good option for jet boaters and drag racers. A friend has just bought a new Coyotee 5lt, supercharger...

N2O is the go on a budget. FI is not a budget option because one thing leads to another.

It depends on where the idle speed picks up it's air. If you have it open like in the pictures above it will leak out under boost. If you hook the air inlet pre throttle body post supercharger it will work as it should. Depending on the ecu you an command the icv to also go to zero if > 100 kpa.

super job. Make sure the idle speed valve is closed, could be where the boost is going ;-).

Yeah those cobra guys have tons of money just charge them double. Plenty of work in the West for people who want to work and have some skills. Stay away from cars and play with mining trucks you only work six months of the year. Shifts are usually 2 week on 2 off.

Yes you need o2 sensors to run properly. No you don't need cats if no emissions required Yes you will need a MAF The hardest part is finding a flux capacitor but these quite often come up on ebay.
