Hi Guys, This is exactly the type of info I have been looking for. Someone who's been there done that. Can you tell me more about GRA, the type of work they do, costs etc. Keep in mind that all I want is a STRAIGHT LPG system that will give smooth reliable motoring. I don't thrash my cars...

Hi Dean, Major setback with the Cortina which of course has put back the 1UZ into the Zephyr by a few months. After taking it out for its maiden voyage it was found that both my axles were bent???? We're talking about a Ford 9 inch diff that has only had a 4 cylinder motor. It appears whoever...

Sorry guys but I'm a real novice when it comes to the serious technical stuff. What is "TPS"? Kevin

Thanks John. Sounds promising. I must do some more research. Kevin

Hi John, Thanks for the info. Accepting that I will need to change some of the hardware of the LPG system, can I assume that the engine will run normally with no other changes once the gas system is set up? Kevin

Hi, I've read several threads on this site about using LPG on a 1 UZ but I still haven't found a simple answer to my dilemma. Nearly everyone who wants to use LPG seems to be looking to squeeze every bit of horsepower they can find eg turbos, blowers, various types of injection systems. I am not...

Zephyr front track width According to the manual, the front track width of the Zephyr is 134.5 cm (53 inches). From what I've been able to find out so far, most of the popular power steering conversion donor cars are wider eg, L300 = 144cm, VL Commodore = 145cm, most late model Toranas = 145cm...

Does anyone know if it is possible to safely and legally narrow the front end of a donor Lexus / Crown half cut to fit another car. I am wanting to fit a 1UZ into my Zephyr ute. Based on what I've seen on this forum regarding dimensions etc, this shouldn't be a problem. As the Zephyr is now 45...

Hi deankdx, This is good to hear as my ute at one stage was trial fitted with a Cleveland and 4 speed single rail and it fitted nicely. Fitting a C4 behind the Windsor in a manual body Zephyr ( which mine is ) fits with very little modification as well. I used to have another Zephyr ute with...

Hi, Here are some pictures of my Zephyr ute which is in line for a 1UZ conversion. Although the engine bay picture is not very clear, you can see how small a Windsor looks in it. It has had a Cleveland in it and that fits easily as well. The space between the top of the strut towers is 900mm and...

Hi Dean, The black Zephyr ute in the photo comes from Adelaide and has a 289 Windsor and 5 speed Celica box. I know the bloke who built it. I also have a similar ute that is currently yellow with a white bonnet, 302 Windsor and 4 speed single rail. It is going to get the 1UZ treatment. The one...

Thanks Rod, I'll get a photo attatched shortly. Kevin

Hi Rod, Thanks for the reply. The LS400 sounds like it's the one I need. The Zephyr engine bay is quite large, almost 900mm between the top of the strut towers, narrowing to 700mm between the chassis rails. Height is over 900mm from bottom of sump to under side of bonnet. Depth is a bit of a...

Hi, I'm new online to the 1UZ online forum and I'm looking for some info to help me out with my project. I currently have a 302 Windsor in my Mk2 Zephyr ute but I've seen the light and intend to put a Toyota V8 in its place. With the Windsor, the deep part of the sump is at the front. I...
