Blue smoke And I'm getting a really annoying vibration noise coming in at around 4k RPM. Hopefully it's the turbo that was supplied with the Zisco kit that I got that is on it's way out, so I'll be taking it apart weekend after next to see what's up. HOPEFULLY it's the turbo, as that just means it's a case of swapping the welded up exhaust housing from this one over to my old turbo and using that instead, but I just cannot remember if the car smoked beforehand on the old turbo as well.

I think hill-bill10 sold his Castrol liveried SR ages ago, possibly the same motor?

Welcome mate!

I'm all paid up for one ticket

The heat we've been having recently has been making my GT unbearable to get in after work, stupidly hot gearknobs and steering wheels do not make driving a fun experience haha! We should get some UKSO branded foil sun deflectors to put in our windscreens made up ;)

whole car vibrates on idle :/..
Bluebear replied to Sefton-EP91's topic in 4E-FTE Engine Discussions
Also depends if your idle is lower than it should be. I know when I was having idling problems, it'd drop down to like 600 at times and that shook the whole car. -
Can't get the time off work for the Thursday! ((( May only be able to get Friday off from noon onwards which is a bummer. We'll see how it goes. Rob/John etc, my payment will be in next week.

I have one of those ASH BOV bungs too, they're nicely made -
I don't even think my dials have the unit on them, just the numbers. If it still says kmh, my tester wasn't bothered by them

Can't you just use a converter?

Perfect use of the mirror sticker there ;) -
Shocking. I bought an Ogura clutch release bearing from them back when I was getting the car on the road, and they kept me well up to date and were really good throughout the process, so to hear all this is surprising to say the least! It's just a shame that they seem to have a lot of parts available that you can't really get elsewhere unless you go via contacts in Japan and importers.

I could very well imagine the amount of red-tape you would have to fight your way through, I've read some absolute horror stories on the internet with regards to the US and trying to register imports legitimately. Would be cool to see pics of the Starlet at local meets and such!

Win win win win!! Fantastic news to read, glad to see the love is still there

Welcome! How hard was it to get it legal in the US? They're quite tough on imports aren't they? Or does it vary state by state? GT looks mega clean, enjoy her! It'd be interesting to see how well it's received by the 'import/JDM' community over there.

I think fuel cut is more towards .9

Doesn't do a thing for me I'm afraid, but each to his own! As long as you're happy with them!

Ah right ok. Yeah, I'm planning on doing a full refresh of all the bushes etc at some point, just don't know when! With regards to engine mount bushes though, I'm glad I went for TRD, don't think I would have gotten on well with polybushed mounts truth be told! -
Those the Team Heko ones? Dad's are doing his nut in, he hates them because they're so loose haha. What are your plans for this anyway? Thinking about stage 2 cams or anything at all?

Should be mint once all that's done, she'll fly through the MOT, don't worry! I noticed you're doing ball joints and track rod ends, with what? Poly bushes or something? What effect would that have on the car? I've noticed at times the steering on mine feels 'loose' and a bit vauge, and I'm just wondering if bushes need replacing upfront.
