I've sent you a PM. Jeff

04491 and 04492 have been gone since the mid-90's when Toyota started selling the pieces of that complete kit (which includes pads, shims and fitting hardware) separately. 04465-14370 - Pad Set, Front Disc Brake 04945-24010 - Shim Kit, Front Brake Anti-Squeal 04947-14290 - Fitting Kit, Front...

I'm sure most of the time they'll be fine, and even if it was going to cause an issue, that issue will likely just be reduced life. In other words, the seal will maybe start leaking sooner than it normally would have. Most often you won't notice it for a couple of years at least. Jeff

I disagree, there are quite a few oil seals from Toyota that come dry but are meant to be greased upon installation, this includes the rear differential side seals: There are very few if any oil seals on the A70 that should not have grease on them when they're being installed, if they came...

I've spent the last month or so dealing with various electrical issues, some to deal with differences between the ECU and the car and so on. It was a bit more specific than I was expecting in some cases, but as of last night I finally figured everything out and hope to get the car completely...

The codes are the same for everywhere. If you have the code, it can be cut. Jeff

I would just speak with a local locksmith, I'm sure they can either get you a set or do it themselves for cheap enough. Jeff

Yeah, Bookface is lame for stuff like this. I've been going through a few headaches getting electronics sorted out, but have been driving the car for the past week (finally got ABS back 2 days ago). I'm going to be adding a couple of relays to control a couple of inputs to the ABS and Engine...

I skimmed through a lot of this thread as well as reading many posts more closely, there was some talk of 1JZ ECU's, has any testing/development been done on the JZA70 ECU at all? Jeff

If the code is not stamped on the RH door lock cylinder, it may have been replaced at some point. A locksmith may be a better option at that point. It's definitely 5 characters. Jeff

If it were me, I'd keep the car keyed to the original key code, so I'd pull the passenger side lock cylinder, get the code off of it and have a new set of keys made. Once that's done, check and see if there are any lock issues, and get new locks for those (ignition, hatch), then have them...

86-89 uses the same key blank, 90-92 is different. If you have an 86-88 and are planning on using the 89+ tails, I'd recommend a lock cylinder from an 89 so it can be used with your existing key. The key code is on your RH door lock cylinder if you wanted to pull it to get the code, there are...

From Toyota, there's not a lot else available in a logitudinal setup. The RA62 with RA63 tail housing or an RA60 (possibly) would probably be the two contenders, but neither is rated for the torque the 2UR-GSE (in IS F or RC F/GS F spec) is rated for. A custom bellhousing/flywheel/clutch setup...

Good question. I've been thinking about it, not entirely sure the RA is the best trans to use, but yeah, I've been thinking about it... Jeff

Things keep progressing. :) Getting things figured out and the new brakes are now on the car. Hopefully can drive it properly soon! Jeff

Finally got the stopping parts of this swap in yesterday, I had really wanted to go with the GS350/RC350 2-piece 14-inch brakes, but I didn't want to be forced to run 18-inch wheels in the winter (plus needing 2 new sets of wheels, 2 new sets of tires, a new spare wheel and tire, etc.), and so I...

So I figured now that the car has actually driven with a 3.5L engine, I can legit change the nameplate on the back. Behold! More to come. Jeff

Well a couple major milestones have been passed today. After filling all of the fluids and bleeding the clutch it fired up first try! I even managed to drive it inside the shop a bit! It's slowly coming together! After driving the car a bit I think I will need to adjust the clutch pedal a bit as...

So I was in Hawaii for a bit over a week on vacation and then Christmas happened, but work is underway again. Engine is basically assembled now, save for a hose. Should hopefully be able to send the ECU for programming in the next week I hope! New brakes and a new windshield also going to...

I got the wiring harness almost completely installed before getting the engine back into the car. Still waiting for that fuel line to come in, but it can be installed with the engine in the car (it is holding up installing the intake manifold though). There's definitely a lot less going on in...
