Got home from a one month holiday, and some nice person has put my L series up on blocks and taken off with the 14" factory alloys and cooper discoverer STTs. If anyone has pictures of either the tyres or the alloys, or even better the alloys with the tyres fitted, could you please email them to kin...

I only seem to be able to 'find' 4wd high, when i shift the range lever down it clicks through the two lower positions, but does nothing in 4wd low, and makes a teeth catching whirring noise in 2wd high.

any suggestions?

LTurbo, the rest of the conversion has been on hold over the break, have got a long weekend coming up this weekend so time to finish a few jobs off, I had actually forgotten about the reverse lights- cheers for reminding me! Have still got to put the front driveshafts in, its been a rwd suby for a m...

after conversion from auto to manual d/r of the L series, and a byb 3 inch lift kit my speedo cable won't reach the socket in the gearbox, and if i try to pull a bit more through the firewall the socket just pulls out of the back of the instrument sluster, any suggestions? do the manual L series hav...

sidewayz, did you set the carby up to be suck-through into the turbo? did you alter comp ratio? intercooler? and did you tap into an oil feed for the turbo- where abouts? to many questions, arrrggghhh!! i have a primary turbo out of a twin turbo legacy/liberty that could also do the trick... how lon...

hey thats pretty mad!, not too sure how my 'poor enough as it is' auto electrical skills would handle all that 'spagettii'? what breed are those dudes, thats some broken england what! the GT-legs 'go-cart' comment was pretty applicable too, if the justy fails its next warrant it is getting the body ...

nice project man, love the little subys, i have a justy (which is more of a suzuki apparently) push button 4wd that needs a 'charger or something, 1.2 sohc carby goes pretty hard but needs boost aye, which either means getting an efi inlet manifold made up, sussing the carby as a suck-through, or ge...

Dave, cheers for that info, yeah we talk about them as sc12 and sc14's over here, i hadn't heard the engine code before. did you get hold of the mini cooper s supercharger easily? i guess it would take someone writing one off and insurance company/wrecker getting hold of it then selling the parts? y...

hey what do you guys mean by a 1gg blower? is it the toyota one that is slightly bigger than the MR2 one?

cheers,

Does anyone have any pics of their (or someone elses) headers for the EA82T? I have one that has a car with Q-land plate 976FZR about to recieve engine with headers, need a few more if possible. Took her to the exhaust bloke today and he was freaking about lack of room. Hoping to get pics to him so ...

L-turbo, I just got to the stage of joining wires, and managed to suss out how to trick the car into thinking its in 'park'- the one plug that used to go to the auto box, that has more than one green wire coming out of it, if you join two of the green wires that should do the trick. the car still wo...

L- Turbo: good point- my plan is to get everything else hooked up, then get onto the wiring. I think a manual should have wiring diagrams for the auto box and the manual box, but as far as i can tell as long as you have the wires that sense where the select lever of the auto is- so you can join the ...

L-turbo i got the gearbox on a few hours after i posted the last comment, and hooked the clutch cable up and she works a treat. It isn't too tricky, the most trouble i had was getting the surclip off the auto cross-pedal bolt at the passenger side end (took about an hour and lots of swearing, got a ...

You were right Jono, i ended up just pulling the auto cross pedal bolt out, re-inserting the manual one through the manual brake pedal and then the clutch pedal. Was easy enough after all that, won't know if it works untill i have got the gearbox on and everything hooked up... cheers for your help, ...

just about to swap auto pedal box for manual pedal box, looks a little trickier than i thought, if there are any pointers that will prevent me from throwing the lot in the drink could someone let me know? i.e: should i disconnect brake linkage, and then pull brake booster out from the engine bay? sh...

just trying to sort out the release bearing setup, are there special clips to attach the release bearing housing to the release fork? or can i jimmy up something out of some number 8 wire kiwi styles?

cheers,
Gus.

just trying to sort out the wiring from manual d/r gearbox, i have taken out the auto box so now need to join the appropriate wires so that reverse lights etc work, has anyone got any pointers? as far as i can see there are three position sensors on the gearbox, and a bunch of wires coming out of th...

Had it for a fang yet shaun?? how does it go? you're doing better than me, i just pulled the 'dog' box (auto) out today, got your gearbox all lined up to poke in after i have put in the front lift kit- i figured it will be easier to put the gearbox in once there is more space between the mounts and ...

awww bro your steering wheels are on the wrong side!!

claaaassic.

all jokes aside, nice ride. All that intercooler tubing doesn't make it too laggy huh?
