Ek ry 'n 2700 IFS Ek oorweeg 'n 1UZ non VVTI conversion, met lexus Auto box. STD ECU Ek wil graag die bakkie 4x4 hou. Kan iemand dalk help met die volgende vrae. 1) Ek het gehoor dat die 22R se transfer box net agter op die lexus box vasbout en so die 4x4 kan hou. Is dit so? Het iemand dit al gedoen...

I have only one set of keys for my 1999 2700IFS It has a transponder key and a single button (square) remote for the central locking. The key is worn out to the point that it has play in the ignition barrel and the remote is playing up. Is there some place that can help with replacement, or is it ag...

What shape 2.7 is it?

ChrisSwart

Goldwagen also sells Toyota parts.

There is a branch in Harare Tel:(00263) 4 667 699, but I guess Polokwane Tel: (015) 292 5983 would be more convenient if you travel to JHB on a regular basis.
I think your closest Goldwagen Branch would be Francistown Botswana Tel: (00267) 2 413 310

OK so here goes my 2cw First off I hunt with a 308, My father owns both a 30-06 and a 270 with which I hunted when I was growing up so I have used all three calibers quite a bit. If I had to buy one rifle for general hunting, I would buy a 30-06. Purely because it is a more versatile caliber than th...

Good day all.

I am trying to flush the cooling system on my 2.7 3RZ-Fe
Acording to the Haynes manual, it has a drain plug on the block, but it does not tell you where this drainplug is located.

Can anyone PLEASE tell me where it is, and what it looks like

Thanks in advance.

Good day guys (and girls)

I just want to get a general idea about your oppinions of the Spitronics engine management systems for the Lexus and other conversions.

Who has experience of these systems?
What is your oppinion, and why?

I am very interested in what all of you have to say

ChrisSwart

Not for me.
I am asking on behalf of a friend.
I am more than happy with my standard 2.7

ChrisSwart

Good day all
Has anyone out there ever fitted a supercharger to the 1UZ-Fe motor?
If anyone has experience with this, who can I talk to?
Where can I find a suitable supercharger?
Prefferably Johannesburg area.

I used "Auto Trim" tape between the frame and the treadplate sheets, this makes waterproof, and prevents rattles.

In fact the filler hole is smaler so you can not fill up with super by accident (the nozzle on the super pump is bigger than the one on the unleaded pump)

Acording to Toyota, it is 81 litres
I usualy fill up when the needle hits E, (usualy about 500km) at that point it takes 65-70 litres.

For door frames, I used 16mm aluminium U channel, rivited to the treadplate. This gives it a nice finished look and does not take a lot of time.

It turns out that there's a scientific and logical explanation for why people (mostly men) spend so much time in pubs and only get home in the early hours of the morning.

No, I will be removing the roll bar because I want to use the two forward doors for ammo boxes and the roll bar will be in the way.
