RT104GT Regular Location: Western Victoria Registered: September 2004	Re: RA25 GT2000 (1973 model) Wed, 15 September 2004 06:41 I have a nice photo of this 2000GT 20R from Alice somewhere. <<<<< And in case you are wondering thats four by 7 inch super Oscars running 130 watt inserts plus two A4's running 100 on high beam add that up is why I had 100 amp aletrnator. 3/4 kw input of light or 65 amps on high beam. EFI 18R-GEU was introduced in Oct 1978 (RA4# Celica, RA4# Carina and RT13# Corona). European GT's continued with the carby 18R-G for a couple of more years but used the EFI head. 18R-G (yours and mine ) had small valves and big non dowelled cams with 8RB type gears attached by three bolts. (up to 1976). 18R-GU had slightly smaller cams with variable dowell and a single big bolt holding the gears on.(1976 to 1978). 18R-GEU had bigger valves and smaller cams (1978 onwards) I have started the restore slowly. I panel beat the floor out as although I had a sump guard when I drove down over the dirt from Alice to ort Augusta in 15 hours in 1976 did not have flor guards so my floor is dinged up. I wish I had treated the car better and not rallied it. But I was only 25 and the car was awesome for its day. CHIMES at 110 nope just an orange line on the speedo from 100 to 150 and red from 150 to 200. Red line was 7250. 7000 often in the mountains and when overtaking on the highway. 60 in first 90 in second 150 in 3rd 180 in 4th 200 in fifth. Engine needed rings at 140,000 km main bearings still original oil pressure has been 70 psi for 240,000 km. I am running a Crown six spring clutch and pressure plate. Even my centre tailshaft thrust bearing is original wheel bearings are new and so are the tie rod ends, idler arm and ball joints Springs original shocks are Monroe Whylie Monaro GTS and they have been in it since 1984. Steering box is the original and I dont have air or power steering just pure four cyclinder grunt unfetted by any stuff. I have a small pulley on the lower crank as I used to rev too hard and blow the top tank off the radiator. So i slowed the water pump down. Also have 100 amp alternator of a Truck of some sort. Original distributor still runs points. I have all the Japanese placards saying dont forget to check the oil and water before you go driving. I have my original Japanese drivers handbook.
