Hi,

Well after the GTR was taken from me i decided to take it easy for a while and get something more sedate

I found a Uzz30 with v8 and a 5 speed manual i drove it up from Canberra and it didn't miss a beat its a little rough but im sorting it all out as i go

i just purchased a brand new bonnet for $200 (couldn't do that with a GTR)

Its a green blue paint i will be giving it a same color respray soon

p.s these rims are for sale with near new 595's on them i was hoping for $500

uzz30.png

Here is the list of things it has as per the seller

1991 Toyota Soarer UZZ31

FSG Dark Green

Spruce Interior

Sunroof

Non-EMV

~190,000kms

17”x8" 6 spoke wheels

Near new Federal 595SS Tyres

ACT registration until October 2011.

I bought this car in 2008 with 155,000kms on it, it was owned by a friend’s father for 3 years before that (fastidious owner). It was bought by him from EVO Motorsport in Fyshwick. The car was serviced up until my ownership by Neil at Rush Imports in Queanbeyan, after which point it was serviced by me.

Good

· Manual conversion

* W58 from Toyota Supra (low kms box, ~50,000km)

* Bullet Cars conversion kit

* HD Exedy Clutch

* Custom Tailshaft by Southern Differentials

* All new Toyota parts used where possible (gearbox mount, interior shifter surround, gearbox tunnel isolator, flywheel bolts)

* JZA80 Clutch box used

* Custom braided clutch line

* Custom gear knob (pool ball)

* Clutch switch wired in to maintain cruise control & traction control

* Traction control switch moved to ash tray

* Converted after much research and preparation by me approx 12 months ago.

· Custom exhaust by Belconnen Exhaust

* 2.25” true dual headers-back exhaust

* 2xhighflow cats

* 2x resonators

* 2x straight-through mufflers

* Chrome tips (not too showy – look almost stock, NOT cannons)

* Is quiet on cruise, and really roars under WOT – great divided pulse sound.

· Car has had the airbags replaced with Supra Bilstein struts, with HKS (rear) and King (front) springs.

· Pump, height sensors & solenoids removed – fuse pulled, no suspension warning messages on dash.

· Climate control LCD has been replaced

· Auxiliary Input mod done (can play iPod through stock head unit)

· BFI stage 1 done (snorkel removed, airbox front opened)

· HID lights (4300k) bright, but not too blue

· 1994 tail lights (with flasher modded properly to flash at right speed – no dangerous extra globes)

· Near new Front LCA bushes (Vlamos)

· Near new swaybar links

· Near new swaybar mounts

· Near new rack bushes (Vlamos & Superpro)

· Near new brake pads (Lucas front, bendix rear)

· New cluster installed (old one had LCD bleed) only displaying 39,000kms

· Handbrake cover and centre console arm rest recovered (black)

· No crash/defect history

· Recent PS fluid flush

· Recent gearbox fluid flush

· Serviced every 5,000kms with Penrite Sin oil and new filter (15W-45)

· Comes with full size (16”x6.5) spare wheel

· Inverse-hex wheel nuts all around

· Front lip on bumper

· Comes with original Soarer floor mats (a little dirty)

· Recent (late 2010) new battery.

· Recent (early 2010) new ignition coils x2

Bad

· Paint rough in some areas

* Sun burn on rear bumper

* Chip on left rear quarter

* Parking dents on doors

* Oxidisation on bonnet (comes with another bonnet, not quite a colour match)

* Front lip scratched, also needs reattaching properly

· AC isn’t working. Had it re-gassed about 2 years ago, and got a sealer put through to solve a slow leak. Since then, the leak wasn’t as bad, but it has still leaked out by now.

· Leather a little worn on front seats (small tear on drivers seat door-side bolster)

· Seatbelts could probably do with re-webbing

· CD player (stacker) skips on some CDs.

· Door trims have cracks in the usual places, but have been repaired & strengthened to prevent further cracking.

· Passengers door trim doesn’t have the speaker grill installed, but it will come with the car.

· Brake master cylinder accumulator squeaks – comes with a spare (probably best to send for rebuilding before installing)

· Occasionally pops out of first gear when taking off – it only does it on takeoff, once it’s in gear it stays. There is a slight notchiness to the gearbox as well.

· Clunk in front suspension somewhere. Thought it was lower ball joint, but replaced them with good condition ones when I changed the LCA bushes.

· Throws ECT error code after manual conversion – does not affect performance.

Note

Dash displays ~39,000kms - actual mileage of car is as listed above, ~190,000kms.

it needs cleaning up but ill hang on to it and clean it up

i will move on to a s1 bluebird after im done with this so it will be sold on in the foreseeable future

it will look heaps better than now though :)

ok so fitted some decent rims - some people will recognize these from my gtr which was stolen these were off the gtr when it was pinched to repair some gutter rash so i thought i would put them to use

i also removed the mud flaps

    • @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.
    • 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.
