Die Geel Kameel kry nog 'n paar Perde by.......

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Wed May 02, 2012 1:54 pm

Ek het maar besluit om die PLUNGE TE VAT en vir die Geel Kameel 'n paar nuwe Perde te laat inspan.....

Nadat ek maandag vir Mark besoek het en sy pozzie bietjie van naderby bekyk het, het ek besluit dis NOU OF NOOIT...... Vanoggend gou my deposito betaal vir daai lekker LEXUS VVTi motor......

Dan ook nog 'n paar ander verbeteringe soos power steering, aircon, updated powerbrake discs en pads - ma hulle het nie stock nie

..... Ander seats ensovoorts......

Ek weet die power steering box is hoendertande maar ek hoop Mark kan vir my 'n plan maak......... Anders moet ons kyk om 'n ander plan te maak.......

Gaan jy vir auto of bly jy by manual ?

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Thu May 03, 2012 9:56 pm

Ek gaan auto.....

My lux het nog die 4 spoed manual in, so ek gaan nie veel daarmee sukkel nie...... en die aditionele koste om 'n reg 5 spoed manual te kry is vir my nie die moeite werd nie......

What are you waiting for ?

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Tue May 08, 2012 12:32 pm

Hi TheoM

I decided to upgrade a few things while I wait for my motor..... Just to keep myself busy and to upgrade at the same time.....
No poly urethane bushes
No Powerbrakes
No indicators lenses (Toyota No stock) The one on the fenders L & R
and a few other bobs and bits..... it feels like there is no more customer care....

TheoM · Post by **TheoM** » Tue May 08, 2012 1:06 pm

Yeah I know exactly what you mean. Olive is a 83 discontinued range model, so you can imagine how much fun I had trying to source parts from all over the world, while I restored her. That recent tsunami hit Toyota very hard and they are still trying to up their production. Have you tried N1 4x4 or Gemini parts ?

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Tue May 08, 2012 2:05 pm

Spoke to N1 last week, the sales person had to email me the prices etc...still waiting
haven't yet tried Gemini..... the truth be told I forgot about them......

I also have an older model: 1982 RN46 4X4 (the first ones that came out with the square lights) and I would not change her for anything more modern......

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Wed May 09, 2012 7:54 am

Ha I got some poly bushes at not a bad price.... It's not the high end stuff but it would certainly be better than the rubber ones I currently have in

The powerbrake discs I will have to maar wait for them.... Only end of June, beginning July according to Francois.....
Picking up the camils either this afternoon or tomorrow
Indicator lenses.... don't know when as the later SFA lenses does not fit (Too short, got a 2nd hand pair from a friend)
Still have no luck with the paintcode for Primrose Yellow as Toyota states that the vehicle was completely imported from Japan and that they do not have the codes..... The info plate in the engine bay only gives the colour code for the trim and not the paint.... Will have to speak to Silverton auto paints or somebody to mix up a batch for me....... On the internet also is a mission, been trawling a lot of american sites as well as Oz but no luck so far........
Power steering = hoendertande - what more can I say
But in the end she will be spick an span again......

lourens one of the nissan hardbodys that we did last year was fitted with the camil coilovers , around 6.5k all round and what a difference , takes all the bounce out and what a smoother drive , on my lux im going that route.

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Fri May 11, 2012 8:58 pm

Mark
Wanted to go the Camil route for a very long time..... The first quote I asked in 2008 were a few bucks over 5k..... I am going for it this time......

Any news on when the new motors arrive........ My wife says that the motor cannot come soon enough..... Hahahahaha I wonder what she means by that little remark........ I am just a little bit exited is all........I must keep quiet now otherwise..... I might sleep on the rug......

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Mon May 21, 2012 9:40 am

Het hierdie naweek die voorste poly bushes in die vere gesit, as ook die voorste Camil shocks..... Hell maar dis Bielie shocks hierdie ...... Die agterstes het ek so Klein probleempie opgetel..... Die mounting punte is 16mm op die 82 SFA en die ander is 19mmm.... So sleeves hier kom ons.......
Ek moet se die Camil manne is baie behulpsaam........

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Mon May 21, 2012 3:55 pm

At last got some good news from Marcel at Carnival Toyota, He says that he got my indicator lenses for me..... Only R253.00 bucks a piece....... Seems a bit expensive, but I need them so I will collect tomorrow if all goes well.........
Bit by bit everything comes together..........

Ek het vanoggend die laaste trippie met die geel kameel gery in haar huidige vorm...... Sy is nou in Mark se bekwame hande..... Al wat ek weet is dat die tyd ekstra stadig gaan loop, want sy was nog nooit nie in die Snyman huishouding se garage gewees nie...... Het al 30 jaar se faithfull service sonder enige complaints van haar.......

Hi Lourens,

Watse auto box gaan julle insit? (4 of 5 spoed)? En watter engine management?

Cheers,

Chris

Cutman · Post by **Cutman** » Wed Jul 18, 2012 10:36 am

Hi Chris

Ek Gaan die 4 spoed roete...... My persoonlike keuse...... Met die Spitronics management system..... Spitronics het nog nie n management system vir die 5 spoed box nie so ......... En ek Gaan nie my hare uit my kop trek van frustrasie met die Lexus system nie, MAAK NIE SAAK WIE WAT SE NIE.....

Ek stem .....

Nog 'n vraag: kan die Spitronics die VVTi beheer? Sover ek weet is dit 'n solenoid wat ingetrek word, wat olie vanaf die oliepomp gebruik? En dit lyk my die Spitronics kan die lock-up van die torque converter ook mooi doen (met hulle eie shifter, teen 'n prys natuurlik!)

Hou ons asb. op hoogte van die vordering.

Sterkte,

C

Ja die Spitronics het geen probleem met die VVTi nie, hy werk soos 'n bom..... Ek gaan ook hul shifter gebruik. - tried and tested.........

Dis baie beter om 'n betroubare roete te gaan.

Daar is te veel ouens op hierdie selfde forum met bleskolle soos hulle self hande vol hare uitgetrek het.

jakeslouw · Post by **jakeslouw** » Thu Jul 19, 2012 8:38 am

Ek sien van die plekke het die 1UZ met auto boks vir so min soos R5000.

Persoonlik sal ek by Engines and More in Harties koop, en 'n bietjie meer betaal, want Paul Maguire sal vir my die engine bench run en toets voor ek koop.

Ek wag in spanning om te sien hoe hierdie thread verder vorder, want my Landy staan en wag vir sy 190kW Lexus hart.

Die transfer adapter is ook klaar, maar ek wag dat Naas en Theo se voertuie klaar gemaak word voordat die serious werk met myne kan begin.....
