    Removing rear vent thingy [EP82] (the vent behind the rear windows)

    Hi Guys, I've searched for this already on both AUSC and TGTT but was unable to find anything :( Just wondering if anyone can tell me how to get this off without breaking it? I know there is a long threaded bolt at the bottom of the vent that has a nut holding it from inside the boot, but...

    Hi Guys, I was just wondering if someone could shed some light on how this GT with a CT9 (or at least looks like it) sounds so good? Mine doesn't sound this awesome without a DV :( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zSIf0IwdiK0 Thanks!

    Getting massive compressor stall

    Hi Guys, I fitted a HKS actuator yesterday and managed to set the boost level I was after (9psi at present). I also fitted a Turbosmart Type II (Vee Port) BOV. Ever since I fitted this, I seem to be getting massive compressor stall and I'm not convinced the BOV is opening to dump... My question...

    DIY (kind of) EFI pipe plug

    Hi Guys, I've heard about the 20c piece being stuck over the standard EFI pipe where the stock dumpvalve goes but I thought I would do something different. I drew out a diagram of what I wanted and gave it to my dad to get it made at work. The fitter machined some stainless for me that looked...

    Can't boost up past about 8psi

    Hi Guys, I have a strange situation that I noticed yesterday... I noticed that the car seems to be struggling to boost (according to my boost gauge) past about 8psi on full throttle... I've done a few checks myself to see if I can find the cause. Everything in my car is stock but the exhaust...

    WEPR TD04 kit and T3 upgrade kit reviews

    Hi Guys, I have been looking at the available options on here and the WEPR TD04 kit looks awesome... I was just after some advice though if possible - the TD04L kit with no external wastegate fitted - (excuse my ignorance) does this have an internal wastegate? We have pretty strict laws in...

    Oil in intercooler piping

    Hi Guys, I changed my oil about 2 weeks ago (and done around 1000km). I was running Penrite HPR-10 (10W50) and changed to Castrol Edge Sport 5W30... Before changing, I also ran some engine oil flush through (which I ran the engine at idle for about 5 minutes). I then dumped the oil and topped...

    Internal Fuse Translation - Starlet GT EP82

    Hi Guys, My 1994 EP82 has Jap fuse box labelling so I couldn't work out which fuses were for what... I asked on this forum and no one seemed to have a clue what fuses were where (in English), so I asked my mate (who can read Japanese) to translate as best he could... And this is the result...

    Strange ticking/tapping sound

    Hi Guys, I'm getting a strange noise coming from the engine bay of my Starlet GT this morning... Here's a quick rundown of things... I did an oil and filter change on Saturday, whacked in just over 3L of Penrite 10W50 as recommended by the auto shop that I went to. Cranked the engine over to...
