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

Just a small update - the car has been bare metal resprayed.

You must install not just look at! :)

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

Yes orings dont like to be dry, I will make sure to do that. Unsure about replacing the 2 x case bearings. From exploded view, they appear to be running in oil. I am tempted to leave them alone and just do the seals and clutch bearing. Is this ill advised?

Thanks a lot for that. I will PM you. Have purchased the Denso 10PA shaft seal tool, thanks for the heads up :)

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...

A huge box of hoses and assorted stuff arrived. Had a bit of a fail with vacuum line. Does anyone know the proper way to order this by the metre? I appear to have done it the expensive incorrect way... Drop in replacement injectors arrived. 650 cc. I will have to be careful not to get them...

Still chipping away at progress here. I couldn't bring myself to spend $350 AUD on an accessory belt tensioner, so decided to investigate the spare Hybrid was kind enough to send me. Pulled the thing apart and found the only wearing part is a bearing. Like all standard bearings it had part...

Turbo details are Garrett GT2860RS in the factory CT12A housings. All credit to Hybrid and ATS for creation of the turbos. Rest assured they will be used to potential. Others have run similar setups since these were built, with some development opportunities identified along the way. With...

Not a fan of the Ohlins? I have seen a few for sale. Have not really posted about the turbo setup yet, but few quick tests so far suggest that control issues are in my future if I do not replace the actuators.

It is getting the better of me slightly, but onwards and upwards :) From the onset I've been clear that my goals for this car were not to compromise comfort or reliability of a street vehicle. Thought I would share a little of how I plan to get there. Comfort sans squeaks and rattles - OEM...
