JDM-GTFour

Update.. Now has High Flow CT26 with Garett T04E wheel.. :) Also Installed a Zeitronix wideband o2 sensor for tuning.. needless to say this Celica goes very well now...

Looong time no post.. here are some updated pics of the jdm gtfour..

Since last I was here it now has.. FMIC, Straight intake, battery in boot, s/s dump pipe, high flow cat, short shifter n oz racing wheels.. BOV will be in on the weekend..

300,000km is a good run for any car imo.. I've seen plenty of cars die at the 200,000km mark and earlier.

Gold plate it and put it on a stand outfront of Toyota HQ. :)

Copy and paste is a wonderful thing no? I never understood why we need to go back to page 1 everytime.. but there you go.

EOMM for October

DATE: 28th October

TIME: 9:30 AM

LOCATION: Mt Wilson Cathedral Reserve BBQ Area

How many km on the clock? Has it ever had the timing belt replaced? If it hasnt.. replace the timing belt and water pump.. it does seem like there is a blockage or the pump is not circulating the water. If there is oil in the water.. you may have bigger problems.. gasket blown already maybe, check the oil for water. If it's milky you have a big problem. It might be the thermostat, but oil in water is not a good sign.

From JDM ST apparently.. soz Duy.. :(

When I got the head for my corolla shaved, the dude told me that green coolant causes aluminium heads to disintegrate..

I definitely think the problem is with ur tyre pressures

Hi there, how does tyre preasure cause this? And only on 3rd gear, just curious.. Thanks

baaahahahaha... the same way as your wiper blades being worn might cause the head gasket to blow.

I put BP ultimate for the first time ever in the silly car the other day as BP is a no show in my area..

I usually use Caltex Vortex 98.. I find the opposite is true in my case. I get better acceleration with the Vortex.. I wont be buying Ultimate again. I have used V power but its been a while and cant compare.

Whats to stop unscrupulous vendors selling 91 or 95 as 98 in a bowser labelled 98? I bet it happens. My car certainly feels likes it's running on 91 with this BP ultimate I have in it at the moment.

I got the same set as Vlad above on my GT4.. they are fantastic! $1000 and I installed them myself.

Handles beautifully.. Highly recommend this guy when his new business website is up.

edit.. here is the website to get the coilovers.. http://ceikaperformance.com/Custom-Built-Coilovers/

Very happy with them so far. Ready for the next cruise meet.

Finally got my coilovers.. the ebay ones.. and they are awsome! No complaints.. smooth and firm, just perfect. :D

I had one of these! It was yellow.. unfortunately it also had lots of red rust.. :(

I saw one done up very nicely in Sydney... looked incredible. interesting shape car. I loved the front end on em.

A standard GT4 only does 9.. it's small in number only.. I'd listen well to what Trent and Mick are saying. :)

since you like the 6th gen celica

and since you like white

and since you mentioned WA

how about this jdm gt4

I've been watching Jap Auction sites and you can get an ST205 GT4 for a few thousand $.. I'm very tempted to have ago importing one myself, Im wondering why this guy spent mega bucks on the car and never registered it?

Your doing a great job girl! keep it up. Get some nice wheels quickly. :D

Hopefully that manifold doesn't crack and warp on you. The stainless ones are renowned for doing so.

Oh man.. really? I noticed ALL of the other headers sold on ebay did not have the extra supporting pieces from the turbo mount to the manifold.. I'm guessing this will prevent some warpage. ? It was the reason I bought them.

These Jasma headers are more expensive than the other ebay junk.. so hopefully cost = better quality.. fingers crossed.

Just need a dump pipe, then its off to the exhaust shop when I have some more money to burn.

Soft? Ive looked at some on cars and they look like they are made of hard plastic.. Could there be 2 types? The ones that came off mine were ridiculously soft.. can you post a pic please?

Hi everyone..

Anyone know where I can find the bump strips that go from the front guard and door to rear quarter?

The ones I mine were oviously some cheap garbage thrown on after the respray in Japan. And they soon started lifting so I ripped em off.. the mounting holes are now covered with glorious bullet hole decals.

Ive considered lifting some from a car in a wrecker, but I assume doing so would damage them.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Below is my little helper son removing the crud left over from the worthless strips.. turps works best.

mmm yum pizza.. what ingredients do you put on them in your end of the world mate? That Charade of yours has sure seen some sun. :D

Find a GT4 for the same money instead. :) Those big gauges hanging there are out of place on a n/a engine.. just silly.

But it is nicely done.. he might get 5-6k for it I reckon.

Got anymore front cuts steve? was disappointed about the last one.. organised a trailer and everything.

So I picked up 6 x 205 litre Castrol barrels from my local Holden dealer to build a bridge to the island on my dads dam.. and I need lots more.. and this 1 x 60 litre that I plan to put all my old oil in.. then a thought occured.. and here it is! I'm going to do a better one.. a bit silly but hey.. thats me. :)

Did you get it fixed?

Nice.. a mattress in the back comes to mind. :P

Had this happen to me too! Dropped the Celica in to get the discs machined.. was supposed to only take a couple of hours.. the guy calls me and says... sorry the tool is stuffed and wont have another until tomorrow.. when I picked the car it was a bit more dusty and I swear there was less fuel and an extra 10kms on the odometer.. but I didnt check it before I dropped it in so I couldnt get mad at them.. The guys at the shop had huge smiles when I picked it up.. I'll be speaking to the owner of the business about it when I find him.

The dashboard is worth at least $200 if its any good.. I watched one on ebay go for $250.. and it wasnt even perfect.
