Crispy thats not good news at all, im sure Lexus will sort it out.
And as for the Aussie site, you mean the LOC or Altezza Club? We are not active on LOC anymore, due to "long story" so we have made an Aussie/nz site, but most users have The first Generation cars.
Very nice in Gold Crispy.

Yes, when I installed my slotted rotors, i was quite amazed how the disc isnt bolted on, it just "hangs" on the 5 studs lol. All you need is a 14mm and a 17mm socket, and what, a mallet?? hehe Very simpe.

I run standard Calipers, on RDA Slotted discs and EBC Greenstuff pads for t he track, and they work great! i mean, im sure they can be improved upon, but i feel no fade what soever.
That big Alcon kit is from a guy here in Sydney, yeah, Its more for the bling factor. It does look cool, and if I had the grover, id probably buyem too hehe.
From my understating, that would not work so well with the standard brake master cylinder?
Also Matt, is that an FD RX7 4 Piston Caliper? Or looks like S15/R33 Skyline or Z32 300zx!

The IS200 is RWD, thats enough to win me over :D

WOW!
The 1JZ block in the IS I'd love it to have this power plant under my hood. :winky:
13.2 is cool! B)
Is it the stock 1JZ-GTE with 280BHP or are there already any mods??
Could you flange it onto the stock Altezza tranny?
Hey, car is basically stock, Stock turbos. That run was at low boost (9-10psi) and with 179rwkw. With more boost (Now I run 15psi, and 230rwkw) Im hoping to dip in the 12's :D
I use a W58 Supra 5 Speed, the stock 6 speed wont handle the extra torque.

I did mine myself, try it, its not hard at all

You crazy Poms, always going Off topic hahaha. I have had it done for a while now, and i have had my fair share of problems, like one bad engine (low compression on 2 cylinders), 2 sets of Turbos failed (Just dropped it off to mechanic yesterday to get them reco, or a kit hence my UNREPLIED to thread in modifcations sections). Other than that, it runs perfect, dont expect to have aircon straight away tho! (i suppose its cool enouff in the UK) Here are some old pics (Engine looks much bettr now, as ooposed to the pics)
this is the second motor
Sorry I went crazy with the pics :P
Back on topic tho, Phone drome, G-Tech = Guess Tech haha. 15.9?? Thats really unimpressive, is that 1GFE with TTE SC Kit? If so, they feel more like in the 14's

Hey guys, my mrs will be in the UK for work (Well she is there now) I think its called bournsmouth or mif, or something like that. Anyways, are there any places, she can buy me a Senegal or Nigerian soccer (football) jersey? I know there is a great site somewhere, but forgot what it is...
cheers

Hey guys,
My car, which just came out from the shop (untuned) has a slipping clutch, it is supposed to be a brand new clutch, but it slipd in hi gears, some people have said, this just needs to be adjusted. How would you do this? What tools are needed?
Note, i have a 1JZGTE, backed by a JZA80 W58 5 Speed.
Cheers

You cant just answer that in a single post, search for "The Monster" thread.

Hey Buddy, we have an Aussie/NZ forum, and only IS300 cam Auto only, IS200 came both, I Happen to be selling my Standard 6 Speed Gearbox for AUD$1500
Im from Syd also.
-
I am using the HKS F-con Pro
the 3s-gte will bolt straight onto the IS200 6 speed gearbox, i wouldnt use the FWD gearbox from the GT4
I am an Aussie member tho hehe.
Anyways, are you still using climate control?
Sorry for hijacked thread!
-
I did the 1JZGTE conversion, fairly straight forward, with custome engine mounts, using the W58 Supra 5 Speed (JZA80) amd that bolts straight up to the mounts.
As Superchagred said, electronics!! Supercharged, what ECU do you use for the 2J conversion? Im using the Haltech E6X, seems to be ok so far.
Also, I though, being East-West configuration, the ST205 motor = box, will be difficult fit into the Altezza..
-
Is the TT Soarer brakes also the same?
-
Hey guys, for the Turbo owners, do Turbo timers work on our cars? Do they conform with our stock secruity systems? Bare in mine, I am in Australia, so, im not too sure if its different to the UK Model (IS200). I know, that some cars, onc you turn on the turbo timer, you can not lock the doors or something??
Cheers

Im pretty sure the JZZ30 Soarers with LSD are the same, I think they have the same codes.

Hey guys, How are your impot laws?
I want to sell my car, and I have seen some Aussie cars go to the UK. So thought might be worthwhile to advertise to the Europe group? (I cant post in for sale here anyways :()
Car is the same spec as UK IS200, but with a 1JZGTE, I suppose modifications coulc be a restriction?
