park up the biggest hill you can find, and check whether you have aleaky heater hoses etc. etc.
alot of people overlook the fact that the 1J is a 15 year old engine, and the pipes you get in the halfcut are probably still original, they're fine in the halfcut, but take them off and mess with them and they crumble.
get a funnel, that seals properly with the top of the rad, park on a hill, turn your heater on full blast, start the car, put the funnel in the radiator, fill it with coolant, and let it run, rev it from time to time, and you'll see bubbles coming out through the water in the funnel.
the funnel HAS to seal properly otherise this doesnt work.
