Very nice pictures all up of both cars and girls, thanks a heap for the uploads. When and where is TAS held each year? I ought to go next time when I go to japan.

youre welcome mate. hope the res was good enough.

the salon has traditionally been held at the Makuhari Messe in Chiba which is roughly an hour and a half by train from Tokyo station. Its not hard to find and you cant really get lost because thousands of likeminded people are heading in the same direction.

It will cost you about 20 dollars to get in and then its a free for all once you do...

if your funny, witty enough and foreign , Japanese girls will take a likening to you. Just dont get busted with your camera up her skirt! :sleep:

if your talking about the motor in the top secret supra, its from a toyota century

yep, hes correct. the 5.0 280ps 1GZ-FE.

Im sure smoky is strangling more than 1200 ps out of it and God knows how much torque..

Heres another thread with some other assorted pics..

Poida 's Pics in the Japan Forum

Nice pics adam.. Did you get to work on the next day? I have some cracker fotos from Shirokiya with Keita too that night.. Hehehe...

^_^

Hey,

Pics are great!! Cheers for posting them up here for all to see!

Was there at TAS in 2004 and will definitely go back again, the show as you know is just totally amazing! 1 Day is not enough at all to look through it everything...then you start checking out the carpark haha..

Just a lil pic of me next to the Top Secret GTR and Mines GTR at TAS 04

well the thread has taken off and on that note i would like to post round 2 of the photos from TAS 07'.

more babes, rides and action.

enjoy!

Cheers!post-33653-1169166360.jpgpost-33653-1169166472.jpg The chopped S2000 was wicked! Its a shame they dont make them all like this.

This Celsior was one of my personal favourites. I simply could not believe the level of customization the tuners took this car to... It had basically everything, including 4 water screens, hydro's, a single seat conversion with modified accelerator pedal and 4 gullwing doors... post-33653-1169166743.jpg

the interior was incredible..post-33653-1169167085.jpgpost-33653-1169167199.jpg[attachmen

thesse calipers were made by tunng house, "parfume"...wtf?post-33653-1169168008.jpg

The guys that had the NATS stand are a group of studentss studying at the aussie equivalent of automotive TAFE...

They had a budget, including car purchase of 1 Million yen...thats only 9 Grand!! and just check out what they managed to create within those guidelines!

this used to be a run down FD..post-33653-1169168211.jpgpost-33653-1169168281.jpg

try to guess what the donor car was....post-33653-1169168366.jpgpost-33653-1169168461.jpg

not bad for a 9k R32, is it?post-33653-1169168576.jpg

then there was this wide body GT style soarer. It looked the biz and considering the price, these kids did a great job.

yes it was rough around the edges but it still looked pretty tough..post-33653-1169169049.jpgpost-33653-1169169236.jpg

the supra style front bar looked the goods..post-33653-1169169307.jpg

nice 6 series with gullwing doors...post-33653-1169169430.jpgpost-33653-1169169467.jpgpost-12730-1123035141.gif

mitsubishi had a pimped out version of the evo 1Xpost-33653-1169170671.jpg the mitsu girls were pimp too...post-33653-1169170925.jpg

gotta love lodio drive...japanese english often makes no sense at all..post-33653-1169171058.jpg

Thats crazy.. how many cars were there exactly? I'd love to see and learn more about them.

Edited by sleepyboi

so how excaclty do you drive that pimped up black car???? the seats are obviously too low for anyone to see out the front windscreen and where are the pedals located? left of the center colum or the right???if thats the case how do you drive something like this??

    • You won't need to do that if your happy to learn to tune it yourself. You 100% do not need to do that. It is not part of the learning process. It's not like driving on track and 'finding the limit by stepping over the limit'. You should not ever accidently blow up an engine and you should have setup the ECU's engine protection to save you from yourself while you are learning anyway. Plenty of us have tuned their own cars, myself included. We still come here for advice/guidance/new ideas etc.  What have you been doing so far to learn how to tune?
    • Put the ECU's MAP line in your mouth. Blow as hard as you can. You should be able to see about 10 kPa, maybe 15 kPa positive pressure. Suck on it. You should be able to generate a decent vacuum to about the same level also. Note that this is only ~2 psi either way. If the MAP is reading -5 psi all the time, ignition on, engine running or not, driving around or not, then it is severely f**ked. Also, you SHOULD NOT BE DRIVING IT WITHOUT A LOAD REFERENCE. You will break the engine. Badly.
    • Could be correct. Meter might be that far out. Compare against a known 5 ohm 1% resistor.
    • @Murray_Calavera  If I were an expert I wouldn't be in here looking for assistance.  I am extremely computer literate, have above average understanding on how things should be working and how they should tie together.  If I need to go to a professional tuner so be it, but I'd much rather learn and do things myself even if it means looking for some guidance along the way and blowing up a few engines. @GTSBoy  I was hoping it would be as simple as a large vacuum leak somewhere but I'm unable to find anything, all lines seem to be well capped or going where they need to be, and when removed there is vacuum felt on the tube.  It would be odd for the Haltech built in MAP to be faulty, the GTT tune I imported had it enabled from the start, I incorrectly assumed it was reading a signal from the stock MAP, but that doesn't exist.  After running a vacuum hose to the ECU the signal doesn't change more than 0.2 in either direction.   I'll probably upload a video of my settings tomorrow, as it stands I'm able to daily drive, but getting stuttering when giving it gas from idle, so pulling away from lights is a slow process of revving it up and feathering the clutch until its moving, then it will accelerate fine.  It sounds like I need to get to the bottom of the manifold pressure issue, but the ignition timing section is most intimidating to me and will probably let a pro do that part.  Tomorrow I'll try a different vacuum line to T off of, with any luck I selected one that was already bypassed during the DBW swap.  (edit: I went out and did it right now, the line I had chosen did appear to have no vacuum on it, it used to go to the front of the intake, I've now completely blocked that one off at the bracket that holds several vacuum lines by the firewall.  I T'd into the vacuum line that goes from that bracket to the vacuum pump at the front of the car, but no change in the MAP readings).  Using the new vacuum line that has obvious vacuum on the hose, im still only getting readings between -6.0 and -5.2.  I'm wondering why the ECU was detecting -5.3 when nothing was connected to the MAP nipple and ECU MAP selected as the source. @feartherb26  I do have +T in the works but wanted to wait until Spring to start with that swap since this is my good winter AWD vehicle.  When removing the butterfly, did it leave a bunch of holes in the manifold that you needed to plug?  I thought about removing it but assumed it would be a mess.   I notice no difference when capping the vacuum line to it or letting it do its thing.  This whole thing has convinced me to just get a forward facing manifold when the time comes though.
    • Update: tested my spark plugs that are supposed to be 5ohms with a 10% deviation and one gave me a 0 ohms reading and the rest were 3.9ohm<, so one bad and the others on their way out.
