    Converting to a forked clutch on R154

    Spigot Bush or Spiggot Bearing.

    I am about to replace my clutch and flywheel on the 1UZ. I will be replacing the spiggot bush, but undecieded if I will use a bush again or a bearing. Any thoughts on the best way to go? It has to be reliable as to remove the gearbox to get to it, the motor and gearbox as one unit to be...

    Cold Start injector Wiring

    From tracing the wiring I found the cold injector does not go to ECU(Crown motor). It is controlled by a temperature sender on the motor. There is a power source to this temperature sensor. When the motor is cold the sensor has a low resistance allowing the injector to be at maximum flow, as...

    Where to buy spark plug leads?

    Andrew, I bought mine through Ebay (US). They were NGK leads. It was about 18mths ago, can't remember the exact price, but they were a fair bit than they were in Australia. I bought a set of iridium plugs as well and the total price which included postage was cheaper than the leads from the...

    R154 Selector Problems

    The gearbox was reconditioned about 2500klm ago, which was almost 3 years due to length of the project. If the main shaft moved wouldn't it also effect 2nd and 4th? I will drain out the oil this weekend and have a look for metal. This afternoon I had another look at the selector shaft and the...

    ITB's on Australian Ebay

    I think he is a member of the Soarer Central website. I have read about these ITB's on that site a little while ago. I had a set of the ITB's that came from that Auckland company and I didn't think the quality of their manifold and throttle linkage arrangement wasn't that good. By the time...

    R154 box in JZA80, speedo...

    I read the communication you had with Marlin, not good. If you have not solved your problem with your speed sender I found the senders from from late model Toyota Prados and Landcruisers will fit a r154 gearbox and W58 as well. They go straight in and instead of a clip holding them in they use...

    Why is it so

    Sideshow, The tacho is a VDO. Checked the speedo against the tacho to 6000rpm going slowly and quickly. The speedo reads about the same for both tests. As Muzza suggested the power drops going to these revs so there no benefit achieved going to 6500rpm. Just curious why it does it. Warren

    Why is it so

    Well Jake and Peewee just as you thought. It appears that the speed the motor revs up when I accelerate hard in first gear must in the parameters of the what the ECU thinks is free reving an unloaded motor. When I drove of and built the revs slowly the tacho climbed up to 6500 rpm without a...

    Why is it so

    As the crown uses a separate ecu for the auto I thought that the motor ECU did not need any signals from the gearbox to function in a stand alone situation. The second speed sensor fon the r154 is for the abs from the donor car. The motor ecu dosn't have any input from the gearbox. It has been...

    Why is it so

    My car has a 1uzfe(crown) with a R154 gearbox, 4.11 diff ratio and weighs about 1100kgs and gets up and goes well. It just has what I would describe as bit of a nuisence problem(?) in first gear. When I stretch its legs in first gear, at 6000rpm it breaks down, into to second and it revs...
