Interesting. Another test I would like to hear you do is fill up fuel, zero odo, drive at 90kmh for 100km at 2-2100 rpm and then fill up again. How many liters?. For sure, I have felt the difference when an engine is crisp and tight, tuned and happy. Hills are a great test. Is the 60...

yep he is a wizard, but still, the 3 turboed 2h s i have pulled all were cooked. head useless. The two non turboed, heads were ok.

I bolted a bicycle drink bottle holder to my dash, works well, bit 'howyagoin'. But I don't think that style suits your wardrobe mate..

I reckon he would do a good job. Did he sell it?

I agree with Duncan, I am not a fan of turbo on the 2h either. But I have had a pleasure meeting quite a few 2h lovers, by selling 2h parts, which is coming to an end as they are finite. It is painful to sell things you love too. Most love the lack of electricals, the simplicity and the...

my filter light can go on if I have water on the electricals, when it dries, it goes off. fwiw. sometimes the gauges and sensors are more things to worry about than worth. heard a story of a c class merc wouldn't start, towed to merc workshop, it needed window washer fluid topped up to start...

can't see any vid

This has been one of the better vids out there, love the parts hunt stories he has on the end..not toyota but very similar setup.

Got a toyota 90366-33006 and it is indeed the nsk stf r33-6g! I'll use one as a slip bearing by boring it out a little, rotating a drill fitted with a little drum sander. Looking like the drivetech pinion is the same size as a vdj, 33mm pinion so shall try for one of those as a solid...

sounds drastic for something running..does it get hot? smoke heaps? what colour? fuel consumption. Maybe fuel related ..

Thanks Indestructible, yeah never had any thing wrong with TT. Saw a program on TT Alan on australian story a while back, he really is a good guy. This drivetech kit is probably aimed at a quicky indy mechanic who is trying to get the customer back on the road and save $200. I did message...

So far so good, Thank you for well wishing. Vision is not the best, virtually all hatchbacks look the same. Tiny rear window, totally dependent on rear vision camera. If someone wanted to be discretely nasty in a car park they could take a little hammer to all those little cameras and...

correction again toyota 90366-33006 is nsk stf r33-6g, bit of a rare unicorn apparently:rolleyes: amayama has it though. gearinstalls is a pretty helpful resource

Ahh that link above has it, toyota 90366 40111 = nsk stf r33-6g supposedly..$43 aud amayama. Bit of a nightmare for anyone who doesn't know this car when they open up the diff! Condolences for diff pros indeed. I know , I know just stay toyota, diffs are the worst for aftermarket, hands down...

I am after an equivalent of nsk stf r33-6g which is not chinese, the italian pinion is made imperial...if anyone knows of an equivalent which I can get landed in oz for under say $80 that would be nice, fwiw!
