The 4spd auto was an epic fail. Feels like 20year old technology & long gearing. If it were a 5spd auto, would've been much better.

How do the pedals look? Did you retain the foot handbrake/ebrake?

Sorry for the delay was on vacation traveling to Thailand ;)
i havent own photos of pedal look, but it looks the same! (like on upper photo with a big brake pedal)
 
 

i retain a foot parking brake, all OK =) and now i have a 4 pedals =)))))))
but somebody rework a foot parking brake to handbrake.
handbrake lever from st215 and handmade brackets, parking brake cables removes to the salon

of all the engines we have fixed, most problems relate to broken conrods after big boost increases and damaged/cracked turbo manifolds.

But with this place more please =)
I recently happened trouble - broke one conrod, when i started fast with boost 1.3, punched a hole in the oil pan,
engine was destroyed. now i'm waiting a delivery of Engine 3SGTE from Vladivostok (town near with Japan, where a lot of japan right-hand-cars) to Moscow, where I live and I will immediately enhance an engine after it arrival.  i will install EAGLE rods, ST205 pistons,
that we sharpen a lathe for that would lower the compression ratio. (somebody even fit pistons from 1JZGTE!!!)
and a question: how fixed a 3SGTE in Australia from broken conrods? forged rods  like eagle and forged pistons like cp/wiseco?

the stock 215 rod is same as early 3SG non turbo. made lighter than old turbo rod and these fail
i use various types of forged piston and rod depending on customers need.
the usual Weisco and Ross forged pistons have low compression for earlier 3SGTE. The 215 uses higher compression piston
1JZ piston needs other modifications to clear the crank in 3SGTE
email me directly if you want to buy correct parts
