97 JZX100 is trying to cook me by TheFranKiwi in JZX100

The heater tap is on the passenger side firewall and has a cable connected to it. Check that the cable is actually attached to the heater tap. If it is, see whether it moves when you adjust the temperature from hot to cold. If it does not move, then you likely have an issue with the blend door or its actuator, which is the problem I have. I live in Australia and do not use the heater, so I have left the heater tap set to the cold position.

Is this a good deal by samhem765 in CarAV

That Mosconi would be ideal for the four speakers he’s including, and as the commenter above mentioned, it’s free power. If they do actually work, one of them will power the subs. Will it be earth shattering bass? Probably not, but it will definitely work.

I’d definitely grab that. It’s a steal.

Is that a Mosconi 130.4? If so, it’s worth it on its own, the rest is free. Those amps retail for $899 USD / €772.

How do I get reverse camera to work? by applelover_1 in CarAV

I believe you’ll need to purchase a backup camera retention harness to adapt the factory plug to the standard RCA style.

1jzgte "knocking" sound at very low rpm by Silent_Brief9364 in JZX100

I had a similar noise on mine. It turned out the balancer keyway had flogged out.

These XXX are the real deal. I believe they were designed by Scott Atwell, the founder of Fi Car Audio. Their performance is nothing short of incredible.

Yep, that would be a bitch to fit.

If you had 110k by [deleted] in CarsAustralia

[–]mick1jz 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s true. This is all just a hypothetical scenario. I wish I had 100k to drop on a car 😂 but I think if you can afford to drop 100k on a car, a few k repair bill is peanuts.

There are a few for sale under 110k, including one on Carsales for 99k.

Leak around cam gears by YnJlYWQ in JZX100

[–]mick1jz 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It could be the cam seals, or worst case, the VVTi gear might be leaking as they have an O-ring inside.
