^^^dont listen to beer baron he has no idea what he's talking about EVER.

:D

haha

nah they ARE rare but not one in 30... i perosnally think that's a BIT unrealistic... sorry rich!

there's a few locally for sale at the moment.. they're a bit old being 1992 twin turbos... personally if i were you i wouldn't be looking at anything older that a 1994 series 1.5 - and even at that point i wouldn't accept anything other than 202 black... and Lpackage if you can...

however i also wouldn't rule out importing.. you can get lucky.. i spent AGES waiting for "the one" but when "my one" came up i ended up getting a very nice white one for my mum n dad..

right now there are a few good 'uns coming up..

2000 FINAL BUILD manual vvti turbo - 86,000km but graded R - i would be careful buying an Rgrade but never know it may be a good repair and it may have been a light hit! - slammed and has weds sport rims :)

01004_002.jpg

or this 202 black 99 manual .. grade 4 with 80,000km - goes up for auction today but this car's been getting passed in for three weeks in a row so i doubt it will be selling today

10097_002.jpg

...of this week's 10 soarers that i can see that are coming up for auction - 4 are manual... so they're not THAT rare...

IF YOU ARE looking for a cheap one - and don't mind driving it home from perth...

...my mate josh is selling a vvti manual for a stupidly low price of 10grand... PM me for more info.

EDIT:

not that i think you're in the market for one - but IF YOU ARE in the market for one... why do you want a manual??? i don't think i would enjoy these in a manual :s

it just seems weird.. all the luxury features and cushy comfort and electronics... to be paired up with a manual would just be weird..

the auto trans on these is sooooo smooth - personally i find it comparable to even modern euro auto transmissions..

Sorry to bring up the fact that my mum drives a soarer Eps :D lol

But the auto box has a pretty major lag in gears changing up if you floor it, its a 92 model though, did the later ones not have this?

so eps.... do they make these for men?

no.

marlin - LOL!!! thermonuclear burn!

and other guy - (i tried to remember name)

my mum used to have a 92 TT soarer - those gearboxes lag terribly compared to the vvti... the early models "sludge" through their gears, the vvti really SNAPS but it's a movement that you don't really notice..

like it just sorta clicks through effortlessly.. that said, it's mostly the same gearbox.. so i would suggest check the trans fluid.. a common mistake that many mechanics will make is use dexron III in the soarers because "thats what the manual says" however that's specific to the V8 i beleive...

the twin turbos require a TTF fluid - without it they kinda spaz out in a bad way. but also she should / you should do an ECU reset for her and make sure you reset the trans ECU while you're at it..

it will / should drive like a dream after that.. but if the gearbox is driving like a dog then it could be a number of things - these two suggestions are the most common issues that the trans will have though :D

sorry i took so long i was out and about...

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH see what i did there???

yup...

THERE GOES YOUR THEORUM. :(

to answer you properly... no... ..

...no i don't.

LOL at "other guy"

And yea hers is the v8 anyway, forgot to mention. Its not BAD, it just takes its time to actually change gear lol

Probably seems terrible to me when i drive it because i drive a manual 33 everywhere, but i was just curious as to wether they tightened things up a little in the later models.

I know my mate has a turbo soarer and the auto has a shift kit in it which makes it change instantly, so if they changed anything it wouldnt have been major im sure

blah blah blah somthing about a manual.

I hate my auto, would much rather a manual one, but the asking price for a factory manual is stupid, and looked at converting mine, buy the raginghomo soarer owners are asking $5k for a conversion kit which include:,

a 200,000k old stock clutch and rusty flywheel

a JZA70 spec R154 (which doesnt fit properly)

a modified JZA70 clutch pedal (doesnt fit properly)

and a bucket of rusty bolts

So I will live with my auto lol

so it's here. it's lowered. and has had the pustulent lights back to OEM. and has wheels.

BIG THANKS to Aaron @ importmonster for all the help!

soarer.jpg

Hmmmmm... Palm trees and a soarer. I bet if that shot was wide screen we'd see a couple of maori lads lurkin around. :down:

lol - they're cropped out of the photo bruu

they're in the background with the following things:

baggy polo shirts - the bottom half is dark blue, the top half is hi-vis orange

cargo shorts. with pockets. EVERYWHERE.

oakley bug eye sunnies.

and desert boots.

and they're standing around smoking darts. not saying a word.

...i was watching police ten 7 lastnight - the NZ version of cops. that show is hilarious. seriously to me that show is champagne comedy.

what OTHER show on tele can you see some d1ckhead steal a Cefiro, try to run from a police helicopter, get attacked by a dog, taken down, THEN beat up a cop???

what other show can you see a bunch of 16 year old maori gang go from stabbing other gang members to being taken to the cop shop after spitting, punching, swearing at and kicking police officers, to be taken into custody...

...only to see their parents come in and beat the living sh1t out of their kids on TV... it's hilarious!!!!

Motorway Patrol is quite possibly the best tv show ever made, ever.. except for Naked and Funny.

    • For once a good news  It needed to be adjusted by that one nut and it is ok  At least something was easy But thank you very much for help. But a small issue is now(gearbox) that when the car is stationary you can hear "clinking" from gearbox so some of the bearing is 100% not that happy... It goes away once you push clutch so it is 100% gearbox. Just if you know...what that bearing could be? It sounding like "spun bearing" but it is louder.
    • Yeah, that's fine**. But the numbers you came up with are just wrong. Try it for yourself. Put in any voltage from the possible range and see what result you get. You get nonsense. ** When I say "fine", I mean, it's still shit. The very simple linear formula (slope & intercept) is shit for a sensor with a non-linear response. This is the curve, from your data above. Look at the CURVE! It's only really linear between about 30 and 90 °C. And if you used only that range to define a curve, it would be great. But you would go more and more wrong as you went to higher temps. And that is why the slope & intercept found when you use 50 and 150 as the end points is so bad halfway between those points. The real curve is a long way below the linear curve which just zips straight between the end points, like this one. You could probably use the same slope and a lower intercept, to move that straight line down, and spread the error out. But you would 5-10°C off in a lot of places. You'd need to say what temperature range you really wanted to be most right - say, 100 to 130, and plop the line closest to teh real curve in that region, which would make it quite wrong down at the lower temperatures. Let me just say that HPTuners are not being realistic in only allowing for a simple linear curve. 
    • I feel I should re-iterate. The above picture is the only option available in the software and the blurb from HP Tuners I quoted earlier is the only way to add data to it and that's the description they offer as to how to figure it out. The only fields available is the blank box after (Input/ ) and the box right before = Output. Those are the only numbers that can be entered.
    • No, your formula is arse backwards. Mine is totally different to yours, and is the one I said was bang on at 50 and 150. I'll put your data into Excel (actually it already is, chart it and fit a linear fit to it, aiming to make it evenly wrong across the whole span. But not now. Other things to do first.
    • God damnit. The only option I actually have in the software is the one that is screenshotted. I am glad that I at least got it right... for those two points. Would it actually change anything if I chose/used 80C and 120C as the two points instead? My brain wants to imagine the formula put into HPtuners would be the same equation, otherwise none of this makes sense to me, unless: 1) The formula you put into VCM Scanner/HPTuners is always linear 2) The two points/input pairs are only arbitrary to choose (as the documentation implies) IF the actual scaling of the sensor is linear. then 3) If the scaling is not linear, the two points you choose matter a great deal, because the formula will draw a line between those two points only.
