Hi guys I am new to this site as I have allways been a Toyota man (supra) until I spent the last year in Japan and bought myself a 260RS Stagea 1997.

Love the car so I just bought myself onother one a 99 260RS.............. thinking I could the whole import process on both and still have money to keep things ticking over.

What a dreamer I was ..... so I am selling the 97 260RS as is and will be keeping the 99 for myself. The car is on the gold coast and any inspection is welcome, it has all the usual stuff (Ithink) RB26 brembos bbs wheels etc stock as a rock otherwise,

It has a couple of bubbles of rust under the mirrors wich I am in the process of getting fixed, other than that it is an awsome car.

, so without destroying the value of these cars I am willing to take a loss just on this car and sell it .

I know these forums and how they work and a lot of idiots are going to get on and say what a load of crock , for that price there must be something wrong , but come out and have a look at the car your self as I said its at the gold coast and you can see for yourself.

Cheers

By the way nice to say hi to all the stagea owners and I definately will be out there in my 99 260 (just not my 97)

Heres the pics when it was still in Japan

Its at the shop getting those spots cut out under the mirrors , every one I looked at had the same problem ! So there is no rust in it now at all.

Heres some shots under the car when it was in Japan.

Slightly off topic, but what paint shop are you using?? I live on the Gold Coast, and also have a white stag with door rust: if it's ok with you, I would love to see the quality of their work before you sell it. No offence taken if you refuse.

      RB25DE NEO with Haltech ECU

      If you take the top half of the intake off you can unbolt the flap off the shaft and leave the shaft in there blocking the hole. Then you can remove the little vacuum canister off from under the manifold and get a spare vacuum line to run to the ECU. I can take some photos of it later. Probably best to get the vacuum source to the ECU sorted first though. Mine all worked mint with the base map from the GTT an I've pretty much let the closed loop sort the fueling and took 1 degree out of the whole timing map.

      This IS something you also have to configure in Haltech (or at least I did in the past when going from onboard-to-ECU map sensor and an external MAP sensor in haltech land).

      I'm hoping it's something as simple as the ECU is looking for an external MAP sensor, but he is trying to use the onboard MAP sensor.

      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.
