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!

oh and please dont forget to post a comment.

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

as i mentioned it had a few features..post-33653-1169167450.jpgpost-33653-1169167565.jpg

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??

    • @Haggerty you still haven't answered my question.  Many things you are saying do not make sense for someone who can tune, yet I would not expect someone who cannot tune to be playing with the things in the ECU that you are.  This process would be a lot quicker to figure out if we can remove user error from the equation. 
    • If as it's stalling, the fuel pressure rises, it's saying there's less vacuum in the intake manifold. This is pretty typical of an engine that is slowing down.   While typically is agree it sounds fuel related, it really sounds fuel/air mixture related. Since the whole system has been refurbished, including injectors, pump, etc, it's likely we've altered how well the system is delivering fuel. If someone before you has messed with the IACV because it needed fiddling with as the fuel system was dieing out, we need to readjust it back. Getting things back to factory spec everywhere, is what's going to help the entire system. So if it idles at 400rpm with no IACV, that needs raising. Getting factory air flow back to normal will help us get everything back in spec, and likely help chase down any other issues. Back on IACV, if the base idle (no IACV plugged in) is too far out, it's a lot harder for the ECU to control idle. The IACV duty cycle causes non linear variations in reality. When I've tuned the idle valves in the past, you need to keep it in a relatively narrow window on aftermarket ecus to stop them doing wild dances. It also means if your base idle is too low, the valve needs to open too much, and then the smallest % change ends up being a huge variation.
    • I guess one thing that might be wrong is the manifold pressure.  It is a constant -5.9 and never moves even under 100% throttle and load.  I would expect it to atleast go to 0 correct?  It's doing this with the OEM MAP as well as the ECU vacuum sensor. When trying to tune the base map under load the crosshairs only climb vertically with RPM, but always in the -5.9 column.
    • AHHHH gotchaa, I'll do that once I am home again. I tried doing the harness with the multimeter but it seems the car needed a jump, there was no power when it was in the "ON" position. Not sure if I should use car battery jump starter or if its because the stuff that has been disconnect the car just does send power.
    • As far as I can tell I have everything properly set in the Haltech software for engine size, injector data, all sensors seem to be reporting proper numbers.  If I change any injector details it doesnt run right.    Changing the base map is having the biggest change in response, im not sure how people are saying it doesnt really matter.  I'm guessing under normal conditions the ECU is able to self adjust and keep everything smooth.   Right now my best performance is happening by lowering the base map just enough to where the ECU us doing short term cut of about 45% to reach the target Lambda of 14.7.  That way when I start putting load on it still has high enough fuel map to not be so lean.  After 2500 rpm I raised the base map to what would be really rich at no load, but still helps with the lean spots on load.  I figure I don't have much reason to be above 2500rpm with no load.  When watching other videos it seems their target is reached much faster than mine.  Mine takes forever to adjust and reach the target. My next few days will be spent making sure timing is good, it was running fine before doing the ECU and DBW swap, but want to verify.  I'll also probably swap in the new injectors I bought as well as a walbro 255 pump.
