desparate for more speed in the GT4. yes desparate measures had to be taken back then need cash. but sh-t happens, just wipe and flush and move on..
i use the gt4 for club level motor sport 3rd place 1999 3rd place 2003 at collingrove SA. personal best 35.82 sec. with this time puts me in the top 15 cars. out of 90 cars running.
im looking for a new low temp. TRD therdmostat 71 c. for the gt4 where? what cost? email me
any one try a 1mm head gasket?
i have found the gt4 to be a strong car built too out last the other trubo 4wd 2 litres out there.
the only part that as let me down (alot) has been the wheel bearings. they are to small for the weight of the car. (as soon as you hear a bearing hum) REPLACE IT ASAP because they destrot the hub so fast. thats the only real fault i found.
any one else found any on going faults?
other parts that i have broken
power steering pump
clutch box (under the dash above the pedal) it snaped in half.
fuel tank pulled it self apart on the race track (dumped half a tank on the track.
im not listing throw away parts like clutch, spark plugs, wheel bearings, brake pades ect ect they are replacements.
|
My power steering pump is a bit on the noisy side... wasn't too worried about it and was just going to replace it when the engine comes out.
Haven't noticed any wheel bearing problems as yet.
Gone through lots of throw away parts though.

Yeah big-end bearing went on mine - which subsequenty stuffed both the crank and the conrod.
Aside from that - radiator top tank shat itself (for some reason unknown to me!) and for some reason one of the bolts that held the front right brake caliper onto the strut fell out....

Ive had a hum coming from the driver side rear, i believe it is a wheel bearing. I better get it fixed soon, i have driven the car for 3,900km since the accident, loving every bit, just waiting on tein's and brakes to rock up.
also need some wheels, damn its hard to find good 5x100 wheels with a 35+offset.
How is everyone's cars coming along??

Anyone know where to get well priced comp grade valves and springs for the 3SGTE???
Currently looking at over $1000AU for Ferrea 6000 valves, dual springs, aluminium magnesium retainers and seats.
Thats without buckets or shims.
Toda have a kit with springs, seats, retainers, buckets and shims but it seems pricey considering the buckets and shims are pretty pointless to anyone doing a gen3... plus valves aren't included.

GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR F*cking car! Just got home and smelt that stomach churning coolant smell, to notice that my car was pissing coolant all down the driveway... From what I can see it looks as if the bottom tank of the radiator has sprung a leak, the top one has been replaced already, now the bottom one goes! Car was too hot to tell properly, so I gotta rip it out later on.
On the bright side, I hope this is the explanation for my slight coolant loss/leak the car has been suffering, rather than water pump or head gasket.
Although knowing this car, its probably just another completely coincidental problem!

justen gt4, thats awsome, do u have a list of all ur mods sumwhere i can have a look at?
very interested to see how that was done. have u been down the quarter or got a 0-100 time yet?
next question:
guys im looking to get more speed out of my st165. what are the mods u tend to do after u get basic exhaust, boost controler, and intake setup??
does any1 think that getting one of those 3sgte turbo manifolds off ebay would be a good starting mod to get done with the exhaust, or would the money be better spent elsewhere.

the intercooler setup would be the next point of call - though id be focussing on making the car able to handle greater power and speed more than diving in the deep end - no point having a car capable of 250 KMH + if you cant stop it - nor turn onto a corner when it comes up ..

yes understood.
although in my situation, the car is already really low and stiff so handling isnt a problem as yet, could use some rear swayabars down the track and some better tyres, but bodyroll is practically illiminated so far, and understeer is minimal.
breaks are sweet too, nice and tight.
other question i had was if any1 had used the custom 3sgte turbo manifolds?
http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&a mp;category=43808&item=4557819368&rd=1& ;ssPageName=WDVW

not here - all things point to it beint adequite for the most part ( the standard one , that is ) youd be better off upgrading the turbo strapped to it - then the manifold itself ..
or investing in brakes

carsanactra -> What shocks/alignment settings are you running? What's the static ride height and the what maximum suspension travel have you got? What brake pads and rotors you running, are you able to adjust the brake bias? When was the last time your brake fluid was replaced? How much power are you making at the moment? What kind of clutch are you running? What kind of driving are you planning on prepping the car for?

What rate is your sway bar f/r? What tyres are you running (profile, brand/compound)? What diffs are you running (standard I presume)? Any modifications to the struts or suspension arms (strengthening or otherwise?) - have you modified the chassis in anyway to improve flex? What bushes are you using? Have the rear ball-joints/rose joints been checked lately?
and so the list goes on.

Oh also I thought that ST165s have the single entry CT26, that manifold looks like twin-entry? (although I admit I didn't look very closely at the whole ad to check if they do offer a single entry turbo manifold).

will have to get in contact with previous owner for that sorta info, as i didnt do the suspension stuff.
as for the twin entry manifold, thats something i was looking at myself, as the add rekons they fit on a gen 1 3sgte, yet it wasnt till the st185 which got the twin entry turbo? correct me if im wrong, but i think it was the 185 and the supra which had the twin entrys. thought that was a bit suss myself.

And i have a completed frontmount piping setup as of today - AND IT WORKS ! for the short trips in town to bring her home- intake charge temp didn not crest 20 degrees , mind you i havent wound her up uet as its still not clamped in correctly.. but one happy camper here atm - the piping into the core JUST fitted by the skin of the teeth  Anyone doing a gt4 fropntmount might wanna look at shorter end tanks or shorter core to give a bit more freedom to the swap and less fiddlyness in the end

Replaced my radiator with a new one today, only set me back $308 so I'm happy with that. Also replaced the thermostat while I was at it, but unfortunately as I would have guessed, there's more problems  . There's a steady stream of coolant leaking down the engine, its kinda running along the top edge bit of the sump and dripping out, its not the thermostat housing or lower hose, logical thing would be the water pump I reckon. *Sigh* time to take it somewhere tomorrow and bend over!

Recently taken ownership of spectrals GT4..
Body, and especially interior, are a bit rough, but I guess not out of sorts for the age of the car. Front guard looks like the alps and stone chips galore, a heap of them after a bit of a cruise over the weekend, which reminds me, windscreen needs a small crack repaired.
Basic run down:
Rebuilt engine <2000km old.
* New oversize pistons
* Full chemical block clean, bore and hone
* 3 angle valve job, pressure test head and beadblast
* Hastings rings
* Kings main and rod bearings
* ARP headstud kit
* TRD Metal head gasket
* Every new seal and gasket (inc front and rear main)
* Waterpump
* Oil pump
* Gutted TVIS
ST205 Gearbox
ST205 Clutch (12000km old)
Aussie Exhaust 3" HPC dump-pipe
Aussie Exhaust 3" Front pipe, Cat, mid pipe
Front mount intercooler with HPC 2.25 and 2.5" mild steel piping
Group A Front bumper and support bar freshly professionally painted (though it appears to be missing a bit of paint now, god knows why/how)
ROH Strada 17x7.5 alloy wheels
Bridgestone Firenza 215x40 ZR17 tyres, 75-80% tread
Eibach springs
Custom gas dampers (monroe internals)
Fresh Shadow Castrol Livery Replica Vinyls
Tinted Windows (that could really use retinting)
2 point Immoboliser with keyless central locking
Odessey Dry Cell battery with custom brackety
High amperage power and earth wires, with top range gold terminals
Various custom bracketry and stainless steel radiator overflow bottle
Only pic after I took posession is: http://img247.echo.cx/my.php?image=pugssuck007a5cv .jpg
Some that spectral had taken are at:
http://web.aanet.com.au/spectral/photos/recent/
Could have alot of the body blemishes fixed for next to nothing, but then I'd have to have some of those vinyls replaced, unless there is a way to remove and then reapply them.
Pain in the arse and it pisses me off, im pretty fussy about little things Bad I know. Miss my MR2 GT in a few ways and sort of wish it'd never taken a hit up the arse. But on the other hand I like a few things about the gt4 (the grip is nice, not totally used to handling dynamics yet, and how the hell do you launch one of these.. Gave it a goo and failed miserably, just did what I used to do in the mr2, up to 4grand and drop it, but instead of shooting off, it just bogs right back down. Turbo lag from the front mount probably doesn't help, and the 4wd drive train probably made it bog down also, though I dont know how healthy for the clutch taking it from much higher is  )
Anyhow, got a couple of niggling issues to fix, a small oil leak from somewhere and work out why it overheated whilst stationary today (thinking thermofan that failed to turn itself on? Thus just letting the car boil itself).

Just found this thread. Good to see some unity on the GT4 front!
I just finished putting a 205 WRC engine / rear LSD / IC system in my 165. Havn't driven it yet. Final step is to panel beat a bulge into the boonet and fit Group A bonnet vent so the intercooler clears the hood. Then it will be drivable at least...

Oh and as for the vent - its sutuated usually right above the exhaust maifold - to allow stationary rising heat of said hotbits a quick excape - have a look at a group A bonnet if you get a chance and you will see!

Yep... as you can see in this picture its just above the heat shield.
You can see the pipe from turbo to IC and the caution hot plaque through the grill in this pic.

Not quite Stu,
The vent is a low pressure area when the car is moving, so it's there to pull air thru the radiator and improve cooling. It certainly does as you say as well, just not the main intent. The heat haze that emerges when stationary can be pretty impressive (scarey).

heh - i was half way there!
ive only just got mine - learning all its wonders and goodness
BTW in toob;s you can see the plate and stuff - with mine you can see soon to be shiney frontmount piping - looks Quite impressive ( grins! )
on that note HPC would have recieved my IC pipes today - they should be back tuesday from what im being told to go back in the car + ill have some completed photos hopefully wednesday night of it all working and stuff !
Justen - that IC core JUST fitted - the pipes were such a squeeze to get em all to line up but i managed it in the end - nothing really fouls and the hotpipe has clearance all the way - will still make a heat shield for it though just to help things stay a little more protected where it passes by the water In pipe off the radiator and Aircon piping

Carsanactara: I've been deliberating over this for ages. I have some really good ideas. Gimme your email address and I'll send some piccys over. I have literally about five hundred GT4 pics, plus some ideas.
Depending what coloure your car is, TE37s, Weds Sport TC005, and P1s look the bomb. There is also a pic of a mint 165 with mesh spoked wheels of some sort that looks ABSOLUTELY horn but i wouldnt get em simply because they'd be a bitch to clean.
I'm going/got BUddy CLub P1s in white, though check these out:
Mesh wheels, unknown brand.
Buddy CLub P1 Racing
GOing to see Matt this morning to get car. You should have asked to see what was in the boot the other day, it had all that stuff we were talking about.

start looking around sites from roh, performance wheels , simmons etc .. and have a peek - or get on the st162 dedicated thread and see what rims those guys are using !
I picked mine after seeing ROH adrenalins on Davgt4's car - then found performance made a " copy " of such - Quite happy with them for the moment but plan to update eventually

I know I haven't got a gt4 but at least here u can see what some of the different wheels look like on the st16# Body...
They are ONG Rally rims supposably, Very similar to the OZ Racing Rims, but these have a bigger ventilation area for the brakes...
They were originally Silver, Sprayed em myself with an enamal spray can.
I love em.. They are only 15" and even with king springs (standard Height) the car still looks good with them.

Holy crap. Got to drive the car for the time today post engine install. I never expected it to:
A: Look, feel, generally drive so....stock
B: Have that much grunt
C: Come on boost so fast. It is literally comparable to the 4AGZE powered AW11s.
The way Matt & co. plumbed the anti-lag valve, when it comes on boost it sounds like a smallish wastegate. Really screams. But bear in mind that was without a bonnet and with windows down...
Carsanactra The 205 swap is the easiest thing if the ppl doing it know what theyre doing. Its literally plug and play once you get the wiring bit sorted. There is literally NO POINT building a Gen 1 engine when you can have a better overall result for the same money. The fact that PFC's and other aftermarket goodies are on a plug and play basis is just a bonus, if you go searching for more power. Also, if u get a half cut, don't think of it as 7k+ for an engine, think of it as 7k+ for a complete engine, gearbox, and brake upgrade. When you think of it in that light, its a relative bargain. Hell, the intercoolers alone from Toyota are 2k+ new!
PS: i think i need a six speed!

Well i have had a set of lower rear springs sittin in my room for ages so i finally got off my arse and put them in with lots of help from my crazy 4WDin friend All went in pretty smooth and its now about an 1 1/2 inches lower at the rear. Not a huge difference but definitely looks nicer and feels better. I'll be takin some piccies soon and i'll post em on my members ride thread.
Thanx to justen for the springs

How low did it make your car??
This is with Puffy's King Spring Super Lows on the rear... its so low that the tyres go up into the gaurd.
I had to put almost -2deg camber on it to stop them from hitting the gaurds with my 25mm "Track adjusters"!

The bitch about those P1s is they are 5x114.3 instead of 5x100. If i cant sell them on NS.com, or one of the Honda or Evo forums i will look into getting my hubs and discs re-drilled.
