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.

Sorry mate.. we dont seem to have any of those in stock atm... where are you located? Who have you contacted in attempt to find one? Help us help you.. I saw a 90 Celica with sunroof at a Sydney wrecker. Ciao

Sounds like a rip off to me at that price... you could probably find a caliper at a wrecker for cheap or someone who knows what they are doing could replace the seal. The mounting bolt sounds like the trickiest part.. do you know someone with a welder? I also enjoy the old pistols and rifles.. I have a 308 Ruger myself.. I want to to get a pistol licence next. Wish I could help mate.. too far away.

2nd that.. I go out of my way to find a park spot with NO other cars on either side with the GT4 so those same type of idiots dont slam their doors into mine.. the Hilux is another story.. if they do that I laugh.. all they hit is running board.

hahahaha... I work for Southernphone, all Australian call centre.. we got LOADS of Telstra customers come to us, people hate them with a passion! Keep up the bad work Telstra. :D Sorry to lol at your pain.

Suuuuuure you're going to fix it.. :) you could have bought a nice little Toyota runabout... but no. I'm going to start checking Nissan forums for your profile.. hahaha

Pictures please.. and welcome. :)

My favorite photo of the money pit.

Recently I replaced my dashboard that had an earthquake size split in it.. and replaced the bent "blade" that goes between bumper and bonnet with a straight one.. as you can see above the old one had a bend in it.

My latest impulse purchase.. :D

People who drive at 70km/h on the highway with a 1km traffic line behind them... who then speed up to 110km when an overtaking lane appears so noone can overtake then slow back down to 70km again when the overtaking lane is gone... I want a bonnet mounted 50 calibre machine gun to take care of these people.

those wasps are another reason NOT to live in qld.. as the saying goes... qld..beautiful one day.. s**t house the next!. lol I spotted that bolt kit too.. might even get a set myself, let us know how good they are when you get em.

LOL! compression is 17:1 the gasket used when the bottom end got rebuilt just wasnt up to the task.. -.- lol (keeps blowing due to the 184's head being shaved beyond its maximum recommended lvl (due to an idiot mech many yrs back).. i went one better though... call me a traitor but i just bought a black 180sx ;P Your kind are not welcome here! Off with you now and dont come back until you have a running Toyota. :D

I am not proud to say in the last 100,000km I havent changed the fuel filter.. however on monday I will be buying one asap. I have drained the tank many months ago and it was all clear. No excuses for my laziness in replacing the fuel filter tho.

Good news! She is going again.. after checking the pump solenoid was ok, and it was getting power, the old man and I determined no fuel was even making it to the pump.. so we connected up a bottle with some diesel to the line going into the pump and she started! After it started we jammed the fuel line hose back into the primer/filter and it continues to run.. after all my concerns it seems it was only airlock or whatever stopping the fuel getting to the pump. Happy days.

Thats a tough question.. so many favorites. I'd love a V8 cruiser, but I dont have an excuse to own one or the $ to keep it going. :) Not that I have an excuse or good reason for owning a turbo 4 other than for sheer enjoyment and being a man child. I love my celica's... obviously.. the RA23 & 28 are 2 favorites, but the st185 gtfour is my all time favorite Toyota... so far. Corolla's arent far behind the sillycars and hilux/4 runner are excellent too.. too many good Toyotas' if there is even such a thing.

I had some seals replaced in it 4 years ago, but not the major overhaul which costs the big $ though. Surely I couldnt be lucky enough that its the same seals that have gone again. I guess I'll find out soon enough. At least last time it would start, even with diesel leaking everywhere, this time no start.. I understand that diesel pumps need to be timed or some such thing, which isnt something I could do. So its going to need towing to a mechanic. I was told the seals go more often in Australian diesels because of the crap quality of the fuel we get. Thanks croco, I will look at replacing the plugs too. 400k is a good run, I imagine it will keep going for a lot longer after the pumps fixed.

Its the fuel pump... guessing it will cost me close to a $1000.. yay.

Great looking car man... just right. Good work.. take care of it.. and yeah, you're lucky at your age to have such a nice car.
