my old scrap

Yes it's JDM, or at least made in JPN for export to Africa. Where the stickers under the column, bonnet etc in Japanese?
The "GT engine" doesn't officially exist but we know about it.
The official JDM GT is supposed to have been fitted with a lighter bonnet & doors and intended for production racing and magazine articles. (so the rumour in NZ goes)?
The engines are popping up worldwide though

The O2 wire messes with your ESC light - weird?

 

At least they got it right, turbo head and GE cams, -so we are twins in many more ways.

I saw somewhere that they were also sold in Saudi etc, so there may be some running around the desert
My cars all had squiggle stickers everywhere

I think this one sez "Don't put water here you bluddy fool"


How's this for JDM?

JDM enough? - bling

GT motor had more compression - I have a set of the pistons spare - ours are flat

 

All cars with ABS have the ESC light and wheel sensors - look at Sean's car etc
Mine doesn't have the wheel sensors or the special hubs as it didn't come with ABS

The ABS should be the same on all the cars - check the BGB diagrams and fault list -

That was the link but it's screwed now, we need to make the BGB's more accessable

 

yup, no way it will get installed by aftermarket mechanics, it's factory.

that's your esc/abs

the ONLY known TEMS with ABS in the world! LOL

 

I have ABS and where the above ^^^^ ABS actuator is I have the cruise control speed control actuator............ say that 5 times as fast as you can :lol

Those sensors thru the hub are ABS wheel speed sensors.


So where the fook would my ABS Actuator be ? Is my haynes repair manual telling me porkies at the minute :scratch

 

Re the flywheel
I don't think there's much you can remove from the stock GE flywheel - unless you drill big holes in it, but it WILL need balancing.
The GT4 flywheel is a little lighter but the later 5S flywheel is a lot lighter and a better casting but it still weighs 5kg+
Here's the stocker vs the 5S, you may find one on a RAV4? Our clutch fits, so you can use a Camry/RAV clutch too


It will mean drilling your bellhousing and using a RAV/Camry starter, better in the long run as you have a snowballs chance of replacing the GE starter - even here they are f/n scarce!

See if you can order Hastings rings from there and ACL bearings. I still think Superboss rods/pistons might be the answer

I may be able to get another set of oversize pistons cheap ($200), not sure if they still have stock or have rings seperate. I found out these are discontinued stock but the quality is excellent and they are lighter than stock and perfectly weighted.


To be honest I think NZ is a rip-off, I paid $230 for a new set of big ends this year (with import charges), you can save 5X that by buying online in the US, I can help if paypal is a problem?

This is worth serious investigation, I can't find anything close to this - http://www.eportuning.com/Engine-Ga...-20-DOHC-3SGELC-Full-Gasket-Set-p5459696.html

I will definitely use these guys in future

 

Probably under the rear seat same as my All Trac, under the black metal cover is the actuator and to the left under
the piece of wood is the ABS computer

 

Yep, looks like they are the same, ST165-2765 has the 5S flywheel fitted and did the bellhousing/starter mod with a GE clutch.

I'm using a GT4 flywheel and pressure plate (Exedy HD) with a GE clutch, it works well but the pedal is way heavier than the GE setup.
Next I will fit the 5S flywheel (after lightening it) with a stock GE clutch.
Here's a $500 a/m flywheel, looks like the 5S casting with a lotta holes in it

 

You need spacers with studs in them. So you mount the spacers as they were rims, and then mount the rims to the spacers the same way.
Like these:

 

Of course, it depends on what were they made for. These are my previous ones, I used them on the rear, so me too had only two.
(Btw, I couldn't get them sold for over a year now, so if 35mm / side is not too big for someone, he can have it for shipping price only)

 

I had the same problem when I tried to fit some 17" Subaru rims
Those spacers are around $130 new and available from 15mm up, you need to measure what size you need without the tire hitting the fender.

Another route is to fit longer studs and have them going all the way thru the machined spacer, safer I think

Yet another route is to convert the shocks to coilovers, more difficult for us than the rest but it can be done as our rears also have locking rings and not welded shut like the rest

 

Stig: Yeah, longer studs are better for smaller spacers. For 35mm? I don't think so! It's almost twice the length as the stock stud. I consider that less safe. Also, it's very hard to find someone who make you them from proper material, well at least here it is.

Fernando: As Stig said, you have to measure first, what size will you need. I tought about machining down these back then, but if I take off 5mm from the inner side, there won't be enough material to hold the nuts safely, and if I take off 5mm from the outer side, there won't be enough material to hold the studs safely.
Shipping is about 60 USD.
