I take it you mean car parts. Probably the best place to go would be SuperAutobacs (see Rezz'z Photo diary for an example of what can be found there). Also, Yellow Hat, Drivers Stand and Nismo Omori are worth checking out. There's so many great places to part with money in tokyo! :)

Sure, but they are detailled and I still don't guarantee that you will find it. Remember the streets in Japan don't have names, just numbers indicating a region.So you are going to have to walk around and look for it. Mabye the best idea is to buy a Option or Drift Tengoku mag as upgarage advertise in both.Show the ad to the hotel desk guy, as it has all shop addresses shown and ask for directions to the closest shop (there are 54 shops in Japan). This is what i did, he was extremely helpful and even called them asking there hours. Ok i was staying in Shinjuku i got on the JR yamanote line and went to Shibuya where some suburban lines leave from, it took about 5 min.Here we changed to a private line which was called the tokyu private line the green one in map attachment. Third last stop minamimachida, three symbols on map. Don,t catch the express it only stops at the pinks dot stops. Ok go out of the station, shopping centre on one side, road on the other. There is a bridge over this road. Don't take bridge but it goes over the road you want to walk up. Walk in the direction so that the shoping centre is on your right. This is a big road with car yards on it, you may have to walk around the shopping centre to get to this road. About 600m up this road you will see the inter section/ over pass as on the upgarage map. Once across the road, under the over head motorway look right. You should see a yellow Upgarage sign , if you don't see walk right down this road.Then you are there.

Yep an apexi air filter about Au$20 and Trust Gauges about $140 for the pair.

That list of stores on the website is not all correct. one said it was in Shinjuku prefecture, and hotel desk guy said it was about an hour and a half away. The second train ride took about 45 min.

I think you underestimated the size of Japanese "prefectures" :)

    • I saw you mention this earlier and it raised a red flag, but I couldn't believe it was real. Yes, the vacuum signal should vary. It is the one and only load signal from the engine to the ECU, and it MUST vary. It is either not connected or is badly f**ked up in some way.
    • @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.
