Trev's Hks Blown Ae71 Spirit

[Trev]

The blower has been received at the Japan warehouse so it won't be long until it is in Oz. The post I did the other day about it leaving Japan actually turned out to be it being shipped from the seller to the warehouse, email I got just stated freight charges so I thought it was on it's way to me.

I stripped the GZE down today and found that number 1 piston has a rather bad detonation or hit mark right on the edge of the crown, not sure if I wanna use them at the moment so I am going to look at removing the damage with a file and see how it comes up otherwise I will get a P & A on a new set of Toyota 8:1 c/r pistons in STD and OS as I am not sure how the bores will look after a hone.

I have got a spare set of rods.

Stick it PPQ and TMR and they will give you what you want :)

So neat street and ocational strip car. I like it.

Wow you did get onto one of those mythical HKS blowers! Only ever seen pictures, lucky you.

Subbing for future awesomeness.

Yeah I want to be able to have a nice comfy car for the whole family for cruises etc but I want it to be mine.

 

I put up the wanted ad as I had tried yahoo Japan etc (search items can be hard though) and carbonboy said about importmonster so I typed it into there and one came up, it ended up costing me $1148 once postage and fees were added which I think is quite good.

 

I just hope it gets here soon and I can sort out a top water outlet to suit the blower since you end up with this much room:

Wow that's cheap!!!

I like your plans, something different is always refreshingly good.

Got an email today saying that shipment from Japan to Oz will be another $276 (air) so I have asked them to send it via sea which will take approx 6 weeks and then how ever long it takes from Victoria to me.

Yeah I hate waiting for sea mail, it's usually 6-8 weeks as the boat sits on the docks for 2 weeks so depending on if it gets sent when the boat is about to leave or when it just gets back to port depends how long, air freight is usually a week I got something sent on Saturday from japan and got it Monday!

Thanks Matt, yeah I thought it might have.

Yeah the turbo setup I got for my old 71 took 3 month to arrive.

 

Hoping that it will still be around my original quote since I am going with sea:
