Over this past weekend, I installed a stainless header from an IS300 to my GS.
The car now has a full header-back system


I'm extremely bored with how slow this car currently is, and it really make me miss my SR 240sx!! So, after a lot of contemplating I started ordering parts for the next "step" in my build- some of which have already hit my doorstep


BTW I realize how dirty my engine bay is. When I have the time, or a job where I don't work 13-28hr workdays I'll jump right on cleaning it. lol

Default Contact in Japan to make a Harrier Key?

Aloha,
Can any of the good folks in Hawaii help me to get a contact in Japan? I have a 2004 Harrier 3.0 - Japanese built Lexus - sold by Toyota in Asia. I live in Bali. The local Toyota folks are clueless. I was able to have my broken key inserted into a new case but want an extra key made from the VIN number (different from US VINs by the way). I need a contact with Toyota Japan but all the official channels do not respond.
Help???
regards
Tom

So recently I posted a pic of the AEM FIC that came in the mail. Well, the reason for needing it came in the mail today:


Still a handful of things I need to finish the setup.. And thinking of swapping the snail out for a Comp Turbo unit. Won't really decide until the build progresses a little more though

^Why bother with swapping? I already have a 2JZ

These engines are a lot more reliable under boost than you guys seem to think! The trans would be the weakest link but I'm not planning to boost more than 8psi after some fuel upgrades. Eventually I really want to ditch the auto trans anyway. Can't shake the drifter in me lol.
