why the hell anybody would want to drive a car like this as a manual is beyond me :S

why the hell would anybody want to drive that in a manual?

...why do people only want "manual" when it comes to imported cars??

that car would be ruined in a manual.. it'd just be wrong!

It does kinda defeat the purpose of it.

But I would like to see someone drifting the sh1t out of one over here.

Sorry for the stupid question. What exact model/year is the 1 in the pic?

hey guys, sorry to zombie up this thread to the top...

but is there any news about this? - hoping for kristian to say something like..

...yes Rowan, there is a particular compliance shop in Sydney that are very on the ball about these and no - it's not going to be like Benrys' Mark2 cos these guys are better"

im hoping he says that

then hoping he says "all we were needing is a test car"

hint.... hint...

just sayin - i have heard that apparently there is someone somewhere bringing a test car in...

is that true?

if it's NOT true...

how much would a black majesta be? on YAJ they seem to chase between 400K - 900K :/

which seems very cheap considering these are a few rungs up in toyota heirachy than the celsior - aka Lexus LS400 :)

test cars need to be stock stock standard don't they? like not even aftermarket rims are allowed, true or false?

if that is the case i might wait for one of the aus-vip guys to get one, if im getting a uzs173 i want aimgain and trafficstars, and i want coilovers too :P

and i want all the judgemental imports guys to get angry at me again fro "bringing in a bloody modified car"

:P

no i won't.

haha

nah i went out monday night n got driven around in my mates VT commode.

and while they are nasty pieces of gutless uninspiring shit... i must admit it was nice to get out of the back seat and have my own door to get out of...

kinda made me miss my cefiro a lil bit...

so i came home all starry eyed for a JZS171...

...then i found out the difference between crown athlete n crown majesta... and realised i would rather a majesta :)

i don't want another turbo car - i want a V8!

Andrew - to be quite honest it's not that they're cheap really... if anything they're appropriately priced - let's be honest, as far as a japanese owner is concerned they're a ~12 year old car that needs inspections done every year now...

...and many are nearing 100,000km which everybody KNOWS that means the car will explode any day now

so if anything they're quite reasonably priced...

...there's one at USS that goes up tomorrow in Tuubu...

it's 202 black onyx.

101,000km

1UZFE

4 stars

2002 build

black paint with tan leather interior

has either aftermarket height controller - or aftermarket coilovers... either way it's lowered.

rims look like weds kranze somethings's's?

kristian would you mind letting us know (pm if you want) (or inbox my facebook) how much this goes through at?

http://74.53.162.34/imgs/4IuzCwB6Lua4jzKEDpTRXZOJDqxPBttFSc4OQ2ixKQxJMKqEEwioAi8rxrwAZuoS49MetAUABs

auction ID is apparently:

FUN3722

because ^^^ that car is what i would be trying to import...

i know that compliance is cheap on a test car... but at any rate... i simply cannot justify waiting around for a year or so to await testing etc..

when after getting my damn car delivered to me here out in perth in the year 2012...

...i get this:

http://74.53.162.34/imgs/pfzFGIAwxKq6oMmA1VwoTfteFRgkjRGatRzDLvnh9gWmuknWIbbNSbNae2

:/

unless kristian is keen to broker me a white fridge mobile, then comply it... then i on-sell it as someone's project car..

....THEN get a 202 black onyx baller one ;-)

    • 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.  
    • It would be different if the sealant hadn't started to peel up with gaps in the glue about ~6cm and bigger in some areas. I would much prefer not having to do the work take them off the car . However, the filler the owner put in the roof rack mount cavities has shrunk and begun to crack on the rail delete panels. I cant trust that to hold off moisture ingress especially where I live. Not only that but I have faded paint on as well as on either side of these panels, so they would need to come off to give the roofline a proper respray. My goal is to get in there and put a healthy amount of epoxy instead of panel filler/bog and potentially skin with carbon fiber. I have 2 spare rolls from an old motorcycle fairing project from a few years back and I think it'd be a nice touch on a black stag.  I've seen some threads where people replace their roof rack delete with a welded in sheet metal part. But has anyone re-worked the roof rails themselves? It seems like there is a lot of volume there to add in some threads and maybe a keyway for a quick(er) release roof rack system. Not afraid to mill something out if I have to. It would be cool to have a cross bar only setup. That way I can keep the sleek roofline that would accept a couple bolts to gain back that extra utility  3D print some snazzy covers to hide the threaded section to be thorough and keep things covered when not using the rack.
