With 190,000km on the clock, and little to no service history, I wanted to replace the PCV Valve as preventative maintenance, as this is the cause of a few issues others have had.

More track day prep here. One of the common issues with the Toybaru Twins is that the oil temps are pretty high, so in an attempt to control it, I installed an oil-coolant heat exchanger.
As part of my prep for the track day later this month, I wanted to replace the engine mounts. How to do it wasn’t exactly clear though.
If the transmission in your Toybaru Twin has ever been out of the car, there is a chance the reverse lockout plate on the shifter is no longer correctly adjusted and maybe impacting shifting.
In typical fashion, my plan didn’t work out, so now I’m onto Version Two of my oil pressure monitoring solution.
One thing I have been chasing since getting this car is backlash and thumping from the rear diff when coming on and off throttle or changing gear; I finally sorted it.
Well, that’s it, it’s been six months, which means the WOF on the Marina has run out.
The final lot of work in the week since I bought the car, was to sort out some shifting issues
Next on the list of things to quickly knock off, I wanted to install a proper gauge to measure oil pressure and temp.
Having arrived home with the new car the day before, I took no time at all to start ripping the car to bits.
