Hi,

After owning skylines for the last 6 or 7 years, i decided that i need a break from the skyline scence so i went out and look for something small, less power, compact but still fun.

At first, i was looking at all the EG CIVICs, SUZUKI CAPPUCINO..........but it was love at first sight, i saw a white Starlet 1.3lt Turbo intercool for sale by one of the SAU VIC member and i was like that it, i have to have it. Two days later and its mine :thanks: , been doing lots of research to see what i can do to it..............................................................................

.and i came across a GLANZA :D:):worship: , i never knew a newer version of the STARLET EXIST! I so want one but none is available in Australia, why?

Toyota never bring it to our shore so why none of the importer try to bring it in? I reckon it's a hit on the Market for small cars, it will turn all this potential Honda buyer around, it will be a CHICK MAGNET. Anyway, here is a few pics of what they look like, enjoy :).

Im with you West :thanks:

The first car I bought new was an Aussie delivered white starlet and I desperately wanted a Glanza.

I looked at a few at the auctions when i was in Japan and decided if I ever saw one crop up in Australia I would try and snap it up.

Very cool little car

I don't think that they are that new, I was in Europe in 2003, and there was a fair few of them on the streets, kitted up with neons and the whole fast and the furious style which was big at the time, the look and sound pretty awesome for a starlet!

No, they are not that new but we dont' get them here that's the thing.

I was just wondering why IMPORTERS won't try to bring them in when they could have a big potential sale.

because its not on the SEVS list... and the reason for that is possibly that the EP91 was sold locally in a not so cool version. If the chassis (with the same silhouette) is sold locally then it can't be imported under SEVS.

you could possibly buy a locally sold EP91 and do a conversion using the parts etc.

i wish the genuine altezza could be imported under sevs- the rs200 version with the 3sge beams !!!

no wai... then I couldn't give all the yuppies shit for driving a corolla with leather seats with a lexus badge :)

I'd personally go the turbo Altezza myself, or even better a JZS161 Aristo with a Supra 3.0L Turbo 2JZ.

hehe as keen as kristian is on applying for new SEVS cars, i doubt there's any way he nor anyone else can make the EP91 appear on the SEVS list unless it came in a cabriolet form or some freaky shit like that.

just buy a 4EFTE and jam it in a locally sold EP91 starlet n call it a day.

      Automatic Power Button Light Flashing

      Which solenoid? Why was it changed? Again, why was this done? ...well, these wear..but ultimately, why was it changed? Did you reset the idle voltage level after fitment? I'm just a tad confused ~ the flash code doesn't allude to these items being faulty, so in my mind the only reason to change these things, would be some drive-ability issue....and if that's the case, what was the problem? Those questions aside, check if the dropping resistor is OK ...should be 11~14 ohms (TCU doesn't throw a flash code for this) ~ also, these TCU designs have full time power (to keep fault code RAM alive), and I think that'll throw a logic code (as opposed to the 10 hardware codes), if that power is missing (or the ram has gone bad in the TCU, which you can check..but that's another story here perhaps).

      Question for people who "know stuff" I am looking at doing the new intake like the one in the picture (the pictured is designed for the OEM TB and intake plenum), this design has the filter behind the front bar, but, the filter sits where the OEM duct heads into the front bar, and the standard aperture when the OEM ducting is removed allows the filter to pulled back out of the front bar into the engine bay for servicing, a simple blanking plate is used to seal the aperture behind the filter This will require a 45° silicone hose from the TB, like the alloy pipe that is currently there, to another 45° silicone hose to get a straight run to the aperture in the front bar Question: how will it effect the tune if I move the MAF about 100-150mm forward, the red is around where my MAF is currently, and the green would be where it would end up Like this This is the hole the filter goes through  Ends up like this LOL..Cheers

      Despite the level up question, actually I do know what that is....it is a pressure sender wire.  So check out around the oil filter for an oil pressure sender, or maybe fuel pressure near the filter or on the engine. Possibly but less likely coolant pressure sensor because they tend to be combined temp/pressure senders if you have one. Could also be brake pressure (in a brake line somewhere pre ABS) but maybe I'm the only one that has that on a skyline.

      Pull codes via the self-diagnosis procedure. As far as I can tell this is just a sign of transmission issues but not a code unto itself.
