Car is registered! Have some brakes issues and had to remove the rebuilt master cylinder. Will hopefully have that sorted soon and get a chance to run up some km.

Still TBA on the AC. The parts that you got for me are all installed though! I'm about to refill the oil. I figure I should take the lines off and fill it directly into top of compressor?

Appreciate the kind words. Can pinpoint many a number of times where I have saved your posts to guide my parts selection for this car. I know what you mean about bits going extinct. If there are specific JZA70 parts you cannot find please free to drop me a PM. I parted another 1992 JZA70 to...

Car was running with open dump pipe in the video. That day it had a new exhaust fitted.

A lot has happened for the car - nearly done. I will just leave this here: https://youtu.be/DzjVe-_-mEc

You must install not just look at! :)

Sounds like I am on the right track then! :)

Still waiting on the engine internals to arrive. Good news is that after an excruciating wait, the last part for fuel tank arrived. Tank itself is used, but it has been cleaned, externally coated, and everything in it will be brand new. Using the time to distract myself with other things...

I have three 1JZ ECUs in my possession which made my vehicle run with symptoms as you describe. It is an accepted type fault, that is to say 100% of ECUs are affected. It appears that you have tried everything else reasonable, getting an ECU recapped might be a good way to fully eliminate that...

This still sounds like ECU. It was a 1JZ type fault. It may be worth getting one recapped. The issue is not always visually evident.

lol.. well I got it from internet Toyota. I gave up on Australia Toyota a long time ago. I feel like these is some subtle detail in the Japanese bit which I am missing :) Thanks at lot. I don't know you, but your red car is actually one of the builds I have saved as inspiration and...
