Hester_prynne Posted April 10, 2012 Share Posted April 10, 2012 Sorry for bumping an OLD thread, but I'm curious what you did for the throttle cable. Any one have an idea? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sq_creations Posted April 12, 2012 Share Posted April 12, 2012 Doesn't look like he comes on much lately. I'm using a lokar cable on my swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernier Posted April 17, 2012 Share Posted April 17, 2012 Toyota camry or cressida or celica pedal, just cut the top off and weld it to the z pedal, then use a celica or v6 camry throttle cable. That eliminates the linkage and converts it to cable. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hester_prynne Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 what year camry, celica, cressida? Or does it matter? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Avernier Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Mid nineties, dont use a cressida cable, too short. 4 cylinder camry is also too short. V6 camry, has the 3 litre in it, or a early nineties celica. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritz Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Author Share Posted yesterday at 01:55 PM Hello hybrid z, its been so many years since this thread. Im now 46 years old. After reading through my build thread it brought back so many memories. I still have the car (I'm never selling it) it has seen some upgrades through the years gtx3582r turbo, injectors, standalone..etc. the car is still running like a champ and I have never been inside the engine all stock factory toyota. What's most amazing is how reliable the car has been...I think the only major problem i had is when the stock ecu went out.. Things I would like to do in the future are, totally new wiring throughout the whole car, all new fuel system and lines, stainless exhaust system, new dash and seats, new rear suspension setup.( i did the front a few years ago). Reflecting on this build also brings to light how expensive everything is now...in 2008 I paid $2000 for a 1jzgte and r154 trans...today that would cost 6k or more...my z was only $600 running and driving..now, that is about 4k or 2k for a z with trees growing through it... any kind of build like this now us easily 10-15k from the jump.. and thats not counting what you have to upgrade and replace because the car is 50 years old..lol It was and still is a awesome journey! Currently projects (nothing ever changes😊) 84 chevy c10 super charged 4.8 ls engine swap....should be done soon... 84 rx7, s5 roatry engine, ida weber, wide body, 10x17 all four corners😉...
