    LS400 caliper mounting centre's ?

    I need to get some better brakes on the front and I'm looking at Supra TT 4 spots as they are a bolt on fix , however here in Aus-Land they are very hard to come by as every man and his dog wants them for the same reasons I do , add in the fact that they only came in on imports and 1/2 cuts...

    1UZFE Vs. 2UZFE Bucket

    ?? Umm , I just thought I was missing something when reading this . LOL You can't get more lift than what the cam lobe gives you regardless of the actuation system , the aqmount of travel is set by the cam lobe , also unless you add to the lobe first regrinding it won't actually give you more...

    Another option is replacement heavy duty airbags from Arnott Industries , they come with a life time warranty !! I know they are for the LS400 , but I think the SC400 units are the same ?? [ at least the bladder bit ?? ] $399.00 each for the front and $350.00 each for the rear , thats way I...

    Rear Mufflers and pipes

    Thanks Mr Brady , no issue with clearance as it's only the actual mufflers themselves I've replaced [ which i didn't have in the first place !! ] so that is actually after the diff mostly , was actually going to go with 63 mm diameter tubing and bends but a 63 mm 90 degree 316 S/S bend was...

    Injen Cold Air Intake

    Had a chat to a guy who builds 1uzfe Cobra's and he's been playing with same for quite a while , his advice was to have the cone as far away from the reader as possible as it is quite sensitive apparently if you blow on it the engine will stall !! So if you have as much distance as possible and...

    DOHC vs Push Rod

    Thanks for that Brady , I'd always though the pistons were forged . Engines fromthe US are much more expensive over here , only now are Mustang front cuts and such appearing , there's a lot of these engines going in various cars and being left standard , a while back guys were/are putting 5 L...

    Rear Mufflers and pipes

    When I bought my Celsior someone had stolen the rear mufflers and had replaced the mufflers with a 1 and 7/8's inch straight piece of pipe from about 3 inches after the last two bolt flange . I removed the straight pieces of pipe and had it just coming straight out just after those flanges ...

    Injen Cold Air Intake

    I've not had my Celsior long and I'm thinking of putting in a Injen set-up , I've read that these pod type units don't help much , so intend to have a feed in from the guard into as large an air-box as possible with the Injen pod in side of that , not looking for huge gains , maybe 3 to 6 HP but...
