Yeah, I know the feeling. Try shipping something even remotely heavy to Australia! Oh wait, you know exactly what that's like...

Yeah Jake, my brother - AKA "IHI-RHC7" It's equally possible he thought he sold you some parts!

Like I said before, don't stress too much man! Jake tells me you bought some parts off him a few months back. He couldn't remember what though. I guess he sells a lot of parts! Too bad my brother lives on the other side of the planet, otherwise I'd be robbing his parts cars blind! By the...

Ask and you shall receive! Just sorry it took so long to get my act together. My camera got stolen, along with the pics of the last few rebuild steps. I didn't loose all that much and can probably retake a few. Block all prepped and ready for head install: Head ready to go back where it...

This is a fantastic post! I think we need more "stupid n00b things we've all done" posts because it's true - We've all done them! Plus, it helps others when they run into the same issues. Thanks for posting the "fix" Yellow!

Those are crazy big! Nice work there Steve. Any fitment dramas?

Ditto! What's goin on Matt?

Not sure what I was expecting to find - it's a loom with yellow plugs! Of course it'll fit, physically. It's electrically I'm worried about. I can't find anything to suggest there were any major changes to the NA ECU. Then again, I can't see anything that says the ECU change was only for...

Is that the engine ECU or just the Transmission ECU? Nevermind - the "Engine Control" gave it away! I'll have a look at my loom tonight and let you know.

Sounds great either way! I don't think the yellow ECU connectors on my loom will mate up to a 90 though. Unless the changes in ECU pins and features was a turbo only thing... Yeah, born in Santa Rosa and lived in the bay area until I was 10, when I was violently torn from that part of the...

Pre 89 but it's got to be an NA and auto (na autos are harder to find than na manuals, ufortunately). And if you've got it, "you're a legend mate!" Which means thanks a ton! Always happy to translate Aussie slang, by the way. You knew I was Cali born and raised, didn't you?

That's always been an option and I know where to get one ;) but at this point, money and time are scarce so I'm still planning to use the A43DE that's in the car now. I've yet to seriously look at all that's involved with getting it to talk to the 7M ECU though. There's possibly a vehicle...

Thanks man! Yeah, I'm not looking for all kinds of traffic here, cause as far as builds go, this one's pretty boring! I just miss the feedback that used to be pretty common.

You might want to get that hone and bore done in the opposite order! :icon_razz

To do still: Torque head down fully (got socket machined down by .5mm so it fits) Clean up fuel rail and injectors Attach fuel rail and injectors Attach intake parts Double check valve clearances assemble cams Finish timing belt component install Clean up valve covers Reattach all...

Extremely! It looks like the radiator is feeding into the compressor outlet. Mind explaining that one a bit?

This Weekend: Head is on! Attached water bypass pipe Attached J-Tube (Gee, that was difficult... :icon_razz ) Bolted oil pump pully on Bolted cam belt tensioner on Installed lower timing cover There were also a few unexpected surprises that are worth mentioning. The old "must use correctly...

Today! Well someone's gotta keep the tradition going, right? ;) I've had a lot of "off" time in the last month. We put the house on the market and that means open for inspections and the potential for buyers to be going through the house at any time. So a dirty garage with engine parts...

I had this problem on on my Cressida - actually affected my tachometer as well. Re-soldering the connections on the back of the meter elements fixed it for me. I think the connections get loose over time (over 20 years in my case!). Checking the wiring on the fuel sender in the tank would...

Might want to check out Driftmotion for their Tial copies - could save you some cash and apparently they're exact copies.
