hi ppl, ive just moved to brisbane from nz and thought i would put some pics up of my last car. its a toyota levin ae101 (1991). i bought the car stock and did all the custom fabrication at home in my garage. its running a mitsubishi evo 6 turbo and the waste gate exits via the front bumper ;) the last pic shows the smaller tdo4 turbo kit i run on it aswell.

thanks damo101 :)

id love another ae101 levin, but they are really rare and expensive over here :( i was actually wanting to build an all metal wide-body altezza with maybe 2jz-gte, but they are so common back home and so expensive here just for a stock one :(

all i know is that it will be rear wheel drive, and big single turbo :)

thanks guys. not working for anyone at the moment so ive got plenty of time on my hands to custom fabricate for others at the mo :)

its a pity you cant import these cars into oz anymore :( you cant import them to nz either, but there are already billions of them over there anyway.

does anyone know what ae101 supercharged levins are worth over here?

what they're worth and what they sell for are two different things... As you know they cost hardly anything in Japan but they have to go through the RAWS compliance process in Aus which adds $1500-2K to the import costs, so the cheapest you can generally get one on the road here privately is around the $6-7K mark. Asian Autospares at slacks creek were bringing in a few GTZ's a while ago, but I haven't been to their yard for quite some time now.

Some people still chase over $12K for them, there's a couple at import yards down the coast.

You sometimes find them for around $8K.

If you're interested in a wagon powered by a vvti 1jz with R154 and G series rear end, let me know ;) Also got a 1jz powered MX83 that's going cheap

yeah thats crazy...i sold that levin in the pics for NZD$5k. thats less than AUD$4k lol. it had adjustable suspension and a bunch of interior stuff too. high quality imports are alot cheaper back home, thats why everyone owns a custom ride. i really would like an altezza. theres not really any other car i like that i can afford lol. what are altezza's worth here? i heard you can only get lexus is200's?

The only genuine altezza's registered on the road in Aus are private imports from Japan, not many around and still over $20K. There's two altezza's on carsales.com currently for ~$22K, plenty of POS IS200's too :P

      Towbars

      I went to my local Toyota Dealer for a nudge bar and tow bar for my 2017 AWD RAV4 and was told by their part's department was told "parts no longer made." Looking at aftermarket (ECB, Haymen Reese and ARB) but hesitant because sellers can't give 100% guarantee that parts will fit GLX facelift model.

      Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid

      I have the same issue with my 22 new Hybird Kluger. I also found my (grande) new Kluger has missed 220V power point and camera view on central mirror comparing with same car in US. This clearly are the short cuts to Australia Toyota customers which is unacceptable.

      ASV50 Camry Head Unit Options

      I have a 2014 Atara SL with the JBL Navigation head unit, it's getting a bit long in the tooth and I'd like to add Android Auto so I'm curious about what other owners have done. I don't want to lose the reverse camera and the dynamic guidelines, there are also some other car functions as part of it that would be good to keep. I have seen plug in modules that wire in that add the functionality to the existing unit so it's possible to keep it and switch between stock and android but I haven't seen a specific one for this model JBL unit. Has anyone had success with a later model Toyota unit bolting in?

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      there are online catalogues available that you can type your vin number in and it will show your car, then you can find the correct part number. it is the only way to go when looking for uniquie or uncommon parts. https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/genuine/vehicle?c=Toyota&ssd=%24*KwEWIjMeQU9MbFFuQ2JFQ05aen1jEh0QEQMFBkBlWQFNUQAaXyUmagcOAU1WABpfMidwEBZ5YWYREEpDXxQTEhYGCQBDHlFVBhQXGxcREgJRUQJHBxgBfn9nEU9APQliamV1Y2wCUVEJTUEAGRxYAAAAAL-x3O4%24&vid=0&q=AHT54ZEC307000605 https://www.amayama.com/en/catalogs/toyota/corolla-runx/1-hatchback-right-e120-2001-3066/body-and-interior-3/mudguard-spoiler-298

      1zz-fe engine rebuild

      Hello all, Working on my 2002 corolla. It needs a engine rebuild due to burning oil out the back. It has over 400,000 km on it and I havent looked after it. Everything is still original on the motor. The only thing that I have replaced, was the brushes on the alternator. They were completely worn out. I am pulling the motor/gearbox out of the car. Wont know the condition of the block or head until I strip it down. I know the design of the piston where changed in the 2003+ models for more oil holes, which stopped the buring of oil. 1. Was there any other changes made ? 2. Does anyone know of where I can get a engine rebuild kit for 1zz-fe motor in australia ? 3. I have only found one place that I can get a new short motor built but that is in the USA and they do ship to australia but was hoping to find something in australia Thanks for help. Dragon

      2007 Corolla Sedan rear seatbelt question

      Hi everyone, new member here. I've got a small problem which I'm hoping you can help me sort out. I've read the "read me first" thread and done a forum search so apologies if this ends up being a repost. Ok, so I've just has a bloody mouse chew through the rear seat and half (but only half) of every rear seatbelt. Which is nice. So I need to replace them. The problem I appear to have is that none of the local breakers have any suitable vehicles that I can pull them from and the ones I ordered and was sent from the bay of fleas has the wrong brackets on, despite being allegedly for that vehicle. Further searches come up with every seller showing the wrong bracket, so either I've got a special car which is different just because, or (more likely) they don't know their ****s from their elbows what they're selling. I'm after some aftermarket ones as they never get used and just need to be there to get through rego so don't really want to spend a heap of cash I don't have on genuine parts if I can avoid it. I've replaced the centre one (a mate just randomly had it in a box in his shed, which was handy) but still need the left and right. I've attached the bracket type I pulled from the car and need. Is this a standard generic Toyota seatbelt or specific to the 2007 Corolla sedan? Does is need to be specifically for the rear left and right or do front ones fit? Does anyone know where I can source an aftermarket pair? I will really, really appreciate any help offered with this, I know my way around a box of tools but very little about mechanikicing (which is part of the reason why I bought this car - something simple to learn on as repairs/replacements become due) and this is a simple fix which is turning into a drawn out headache. Thanks - Matt

      Hi from Wagga

      Hi folks, I'm in Wagga, have what I thought was a nice, cheap and reliable 2007 Corolla, and am joining in the hope of picking the collective brain to troubleshoot and avoid tossing my computer and the relevant car parts out of the nearest window. I'll play nice and restrict the swearing to off line areas :D See you on the threads! Cheers Matt
