I got lucky at the wreckers

I found a 1992 EL44 Paseo with rear disc brake

Setup. Think it may have been an alpha, it had cruise

Control also. But didn't have alpha sticker on the boot lid.

Think had power windows too for memory.

Anyway I took the whole rear axle brakes and all and

Handbrake cable even though looks like the discs would

Bolt onto where the drums where. Grabbed it just in case

Different. Looking on the net the rear disc setup looks

Same as a EP82 and EP91.

The discs were bit low- so got new rotors was a listing

For them.

I'm also goin to overhaul calipers. Caliper

Seal kits are available. got some of them

and some new pads cos the ones in there were worn funny

P1090081.jpg

But when I removed the piston

I damaged it. I've run into trouble as no one has a listing

For that. Tried lots of brake places even taken in as a sample no

Luck.

Just wondering if anyone knows if they use these pistons

In any other toyotas? So can try the wreckers before

Going for Toyota genuine. That's be a pain in the wallet

If even available :(

I will post pics ASAP of the brake setup. Looked stock

And didn't look moded. So guess few EL44s came

With discs on the rear. And also brake places had listings

For the rotors and calipers seal kits.

Anyone also know of anyone in adelaide who can

Put slots in normal discs. Wanna slot them to match

The fronts I got slotted.

So been awhile since my first post on this one.

Finally decided to install this rear axle with disc brakes on my car during the Xmas New Years break. As car is a daily and haven't had time.

Me and dad decided to smash it and get it done. After lots of work. Always takes longer than you think sigh ( holidays now almost over haha)

Repainted rear axle

New wheel bearings

Overhauled calipers with new seals and new Pistons etc

Cleaned and painted callipers

After lots of swearing and sunburn the rear axle is in car

Installed it last night.

Weird thing is the hand brake wasn't engaging in Lhs.

So left it over night tried it today now working. Mysteriously

But Lhs is brakes are dragging when driving

And when turn hard right like when going around a round about get a clicking noise from

Lhs rear brakes. I'm guessing wheel bearing isn't tight enough. Or is it too tight? Car is driving me insane.

Just seeing what you guys reckon

Thanks

Park brake dragging on that side or the caliper slide is stuck would be my pick. Pull it apart and take a closer look.

Hey

cheers for info

yeah I cleaned and regreased 

slide pins when overhauled calipers. 

Loosened the handbrake as much as could 

helped but Lhs was still rubbing when turn hard right.

i got fed up with it took to brake place they had to put shims in to space it out as the Lhs caliper was too close to disc also there are supposed to have inner and outer clips for pads mine were all outers so they had to mod them. Because they were scraping too. That's why sounded like bearing when clip hit slots in disc

seems someone effed around it before I got it from wreckers. Sigh

But seems ok now. But what Ive gained in braking I've prob gained more weight haha. Time for engine conversion haha

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
