My bucket truck has a remote start AND an idle up switch in the rear on the bucket control panel! FC I would ha e done a lot more research before ordering all those filters but I ha w to remember you are keeping this and not one of 20 cars like me Kaker that Prado is bomb. It has a uniqueness I dig it hard

French Canadian posted:It's like...the only way to know is to stare at the dang filter in person 🍑💨 Almost like 3/4 of the filter manufacturers don't consider that maybe the gasket data could be important. I still don't understand how every cross-reference equates filters with a gasket that ends before the ID of another one as the same filter. Someone isn't paying attention, and some bad data got out there and stuck. Like the assertion by almost every exhaust header manufacturer claims that their headers won't fit a '70-'72 Cutlass Supreme, only the Cultass S, F-85, Vista Cruiser, and every other '70-'72 Cutlass, when there is literally no difference in the frame or engine compartment of a Supreme versus a non-Supreme Cutlass. Someone somewhere had a problem, or a weird car as a test fitter, and decided that Supremes had an "offset engine". (Hint: engine mounts are the same for ALL Cutlasses with a V8.) But it's canon, now, and we Olds enthusiast just ignore it. Oh, and almost every auto parts catalog has the drier for "dealer installed" versus "port installed" AC on FC RX-7s listed backwards. Have to look at pictures to confirm.

Baldwin B494 filters arrived. As feared (but it was too late to stop the shipment) the gasket is larger than what the old filter has.  🚐  This actually would work but because the outer perimeter of the engine side of things has been exposed to weather, it's got reasonable rust and not a smooth finish for the gasket to seal.  If I didn't have other filters coming I'd do some light refinishing of the mating surface. I don't think it's actually like a raised edge for gasket retention.

I skimmed your posts ITT so pardon if I missed it but have you tried to find out if the correct filter for that engine is listed anywhere, or are you just cross-referencing the filter that came on it?

PartSouq seems to get the smaller of the two filters right but i haven't found a place which explicitly calls out the larger one. Maybe my vehicle manual does? I have to look... I got the PN for the larger secondary filter I'm chasing by looking at the old filter which has it printed on the side.

Okay I got me some more filters but the Luber Finer is clearly just a rebadged Baldwin. I ain't waiting another weekend for the Singapore filter. I took Wrar's advice and just cleaned up the outer perimeter that was rusty with some sandpaper. I thought it was worse but it was just surface rust.  Filter went on fine and I had a millimeter or two of leftover surface diameter. Edit: seems to be running fine but lmao those 6 Isuzu filters that were off by a single end digit on the PN showed up. They look really good interns of gasket diameter (left filter).

I do not. I dunno. Maybe for one or two trips? But otherwise no. It would be fun to try the 4WD out somewhere. But there aren't a lot of unpaved roads around Madison. I'd have to go west. I also have a few quarts of MasterCoat to apply underneath which should help with the rust...

If it was someone in this thread, I'm going to be so Not anyone I know, but the fact that it was at Kellyn's Karr Automotive which is an hour south of me in Ft. Myers it was probably Kellyn himself, or someone he knows. At the most it was someone on the east coast. Kellyn runs the Delica USA forum, so its possible it was someone who imported on there.  Got the Blizzard looking pretty nice considering what it was like before. This is as far as I'm going to take it, which amounts to changing the oil, making sure it drives well, doesn't leak, and that the grill looks a ton better than it used to

I was scared away by the front bumper impact zone on the front left and the bent rear hatch right below 'TURBO'   I'm intensely curious what the inspector said, you mind sharing? Ever since we had that RV4 Mira turbo I've been casually looking for the same car but a van, which this Atrai is.

You know I’m Wild West, and I thought about just going as is and doing a sub 100 bid well I paid a lot more than that. We were able to inspect, Mat sends videos of everything I’ll see how I can share. Basically the ac blows cool not cold and one sliding g door only opens from inside. No leaks no rust way more than I wanted to pay but I think I’ll do good. Private video bit here is inspection please critique, anyone seriously did I overpay? Did I get a deal?

Hard to say without a price you paid but I'm worried about the steering wheel being so worn with only 60k~ km on it. Not that it isn't possible but out Mira had 53k km on it and the steering wheel wasn't worn at all.

I don't usually like to say but I paid 185. I am not doubting your concern on the steering wheel but they say miles are confirmed, I have a known 21k mile one owner Skyline that the steering wheel is trashed from I guess the old guys massive hand lotion usage, but who knows. Always a chance it is wrong... Will see how it is when it gets here

                  1992 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ78 5 speed. 234,000 km, and completely 100% all original down to the headunit. I've been hunting around for a 4 door HZ Cruiser for a bit but while the prices keep climbing at auction the amount of Cruisers that even show up seem to be lower than ever before. If I wanted an automatic then yeah sure I could have gotten a few but who the hell wants that when you can get a fancy manual wag stick? Scooped this off a dealer lot.

Anyone have any experience importing JDM cars into Canada? I've been looking around and doing my research, and just based on the auction sheets (which I know aren't perfect but good insight anyway), I can't believe how cheap cars are compared to their NA counterparts. I've been looking for a GC8 (first gen Impreza sedan), preferably an STi, that I can use to build into a rally car. Around here (Ontario), a 200k km GC8, non-STi Impreza that is rusted out, has failing strut towers and blown head gaskets probably is still like 8k+. Good, clean examples are easily into the 15k range. Looking on the japanese auction sites, I see STi versions with 100k km or less, no rust at all, for 6-10k! The exceptionally clean undercarriage is especially amazing, you never see cars so clean around here unless they're new or a pure summer car (and even then...), and a rust free chassis is important for building a roll cage. I'm curious about how much more importing fees, all in would be. Say I paid $8,250 or about 650,000 yen, what would be the final price I pay once its here? Obviously this is a huge ballpark but I'm curious about how much on top of extra auction price I can expect to pay. Is it still a good deal or is the true price like double what the settling bid at the auction house is? I'm also curious if anyone has a JDM car insured in Ontario and what that's like. Our car insurance rules are notoriously restrictive here. If it's not insane though my brother and I are also interested in maybe importing some road cars as well, if prices really are as amazing as what they seem like. We have simpler tastes so no Skylines or Supras necessarily, a nice Type R Integra or even another STi would be cool.

Sold our green Prado today to the first person to come look at it. He originally emailed us about another Cruiser we had already sold. Paid full asking price and didn't attempt to haggle at all.  To date now it's the largest single vehicle profit we've made so far. I need more KZ Prados!

All the 4 door Prados we've had have all been 78s. I don't actually know yet because the website I used to find it doesn't list the chassis IDs like auctions.

Supercharged manuals exist, AWD manuals exist, supercharged AWD manuals don’t. Even the wide body versions are fairly rare in Japan, the narrower, shorter (for tax reasons) Lucida and Emina versions reign supreme.

I mean... what's stopping you from cobbling one together? Okay, fine, you'd probably need to do it using a Previa, since it'd be a shame to import two, then strip one for parts. Finding Previas in junkyards is hard enough, but I'm sure you could build one with junkyard parts.

While I never say never from the past two years of looking I can’t recall seeing a 5 speed diesel with a supercharger at all, ever, moon roofs or not. Even 5 speed estimas are few and far between. But there could be one with all the options but I’m happy with the one I got and what I paid. It’s what I was looking for. And I’ve had 3 or so vehicles out of 20+ that had a shrine blessing decal on it the PO had gone and got “blessed” with.
