    1KZ Surf Basic Upgrades

    All, Recently picked up a 95 JDM Surf in great shape. Beyond fun to drive, and over the moon with it so far. However, I can't keep things to stock, and need a project so here we are. My idea here is to make this a guide for newbies to the 1KZ engine, like myself, to learn what to look for and...

    Check your lug nuts, or this could happen to you

    Not to revive this thread, but just had this happen to me on a new to me '81 60. On the way home from picking it up felt the front drivers side wheel wobbling. Luckily I made it home only to find that all 6 lugs were loose. Scary for sure.

    And besides, what fun would it be if there wasn't any work to be done? :rofl:

    Alright. I'm gonna preface this with DON'T BUY FROM GR AUTO GALLERY. Received the truck today, looks great (yes even the interior), but have already noticed some problems. Rear vents are stuck on with hot glue, some minor chipping, tiny bubbles on hood, broken drivers side seatbelt regulator...

    Update today. After about a month of waiting on the truck, it finally shows up today. Blizzards between Grand Rapids and Boston have slowed the shipping a bit (Ugh.) Good news is that MA has had nothing but rain for the last two weeks, so most of the road salt is gone... For now, so I am not...

    That respray has me a little concerned, not gonna lie. Now that I know the dealers aren't the most honest, and have really sold some lemons while pretending they were gems I'm a little uneasy. Will let you all know my experience once I get the truck, many pics to come.

    From what I've read (after signing off all documents) :doh: that the company that the car was listed under isn't the most reputable. Apparently they are experts at "hiding" flaws with the pictures. Oh well, I think that it will be a nice truck, might just need a little more love than I had...

    Does anyone have experience with POR-15 or any similar rust protectant? I have used Chassis Saver before on an old F-550 dump truck, is it the same idea?

    I was thinking about utilizing POR-15 for the undercarriage, but those pics are definitely sobering.

    Will post pictures in more detail as soon as I get the car. Bought sight unseen through GR Auto Gallery out of Michigan, still needs to be shipped to my location in MA. I have some experience wrenching on cars, but not a ton. Rebuilding knuckles, installing OME kit, and maybe bolting up an H55...

    Thanks for the help so far! Hoping to keep this thread going not only for my personal vehicle, but also for others who purchase one in the future. These are classic cars, and they deserve to be one the road! Merry Christmas to all, hope you were on the nice list. (same for any holiday!) :D

    From what I understand the truck is exempt from MA smog laws.

    Hey Mudders, I recently purchased a beautiful '81 FJ60, and after quite a bit of research, I have a few questions on what should be done initially, as I will not have a service record for the car. I am planning on replacing the fluids as soon as the truck arrives, rebuilding knuckles, and...
