  1. chasing a pair of front brake calipers from these models: LN61, YN63, YN67

    I want the 4 piston calieprs that suit 20mm thick vented discs (not the solid discs). The correct calipers have 2 different sized pistons in them. this is obvious if the pads are removed.

    the later model ones for vented rotors, have 4 pistons of the same size.

    i expect to rebuild them .CASH waiting, reply here or pm me. many thanks, terry

  2. the whirring noise is the syncros trying to slow down the spinning gear. definitely working overtime.

    the crunch on change is typical sign of worn syncro rings, or its been filled with wrong oil like royal purple friciton modifier, preventing the syncro rings working as intended

    these gearboxes are starting to fail regulalrly and need very early rebuilds, especially from lunatics tyring to bash them thru gears at absurdly high revs. Have seen a few with damaged bearings at less than 100,000km. This is unusual for Toyota boxes, but the 2ZZ is the msot powerful engine that ever was ahead of a C code box

  3. try www.roadandtrack.net.au where I work

    we had a 'sick" 112 factory turbo at work the other day. owner thinking of wrecking it out as they cant afford to fix dead engine. it has all the right bits but needs a lot of love. wont be able to follow-up on that till after Xmas holidays however

    I checked about 3 months ago, and there was not one Sportivo part still listed for the 112R. Work regularly imports pedal kits from Toyota Japan the for ZZE models, but I'd have to check if they fit the 112. I think the footrest is different.

    PM me if you want more general info or email road and track if you want to buy something

  4. there are 2 totally diffrent systems in that year and you have to work out what you have

    firstly, there could be a dealer fit alarm/immobilzer. This is relatively easy to bypass/fix as it has nothning to do with the physical key. I can help with data on this system

    next is the smart key system. if you lose all the keys, you are stuffed as you cant get the transponder unit wrapped around the igniton lock barell, to talk to the ECU and allow the car to start. to fix this requires a new smart key to be coded into the ECU. According to Toyota this is not posbbile, and you have to buy a new ECU & jey combination, but i have had 1 such unit fixed by a very clever locksmith . Expect anything up to $1000 to solve this

    in either case, the Toyota key number is stamped on the inside of the drivers side door lock. you have to take it out of the door to read the 4 digit key. any good locksmith can cut a key with that code
