I think a lot of people are making this a lot more then it is, if your in Melbourne just take your ecu to a shop that deals with them and they can put a new base map in it just so it's safe to start... No big deal

I highly doubt your engine will be siezed after 3 years.

Get a new fuel filter, put in new fuel hook up a battery the right way and see what happens (after you get a new base map) , even if some of your injectors are crap it should still start ...

Motors only need 3 things, air, fuel, spark.

Check your air filter too it maybe clogged up with shit which won't help.

You don't need new gas tank, new lines or a hoist or car stand..

Driving it may be different, brakes and bearing etc may need attention, if you've left the hand brake it it's more than likely stuck

You don't need or a hoist or car stand..

Bollocks. He was asking where the starter motor was, and how to access the crank pulley to hand turn it. Both of these are so much easier from below that my statement stands. You can't really see the starter from above on any RB, let alone a 26. And who would take the radiator out (or even just the fan shroud) to access the crank pulley from above when you can jack it up and access from below in about 3 minutes?

good info coming in guys!!! where's a good place to get chasis stands and how much do they usually cost ? yes car has been sitting on grass.but theres not much grass since the car has been sitting there for so long lol,

Also i won't be driving it anytime soon as the car is on space saver wheels since the owner sold the rims he had on it before i got it..and yes it looks ridiculous :(

im located around the frankston area. i've ordered a new fuel filter and oil filter.

as for injectors,i did do a test using the VIpec software and only one injector was making a clicking sound. could that just be the ecu not set up properly or injectors are clogged ? or injectors just aren't receiving a signal ?

i received my noid light kit today but i have no fuel and dont have my battery jumper charger kit yet to keep cranking the engine. should have most of what i need next week

alright so i just ordered a hydraulic trolley jack with 2 jack stands for 100 bucks off ebay. this is starting to get costly lol but what did i expect lol.might aswell get new spark plugs while i'm at it ? any recommendations?

Like most have mentioned, if you don't have money or the slightest idea of what you are doing you can be getting yourself into more trouble by causing more damage to the car or yourself. Get someone to help you who knows what they are dealing with and teach you at the very least if you are keen.

I'd like to see you get the car up and running with your dedication, but with little idea or experience on what to do its inevitable that you might make an irreversible mistake. You'll definitely need cash, so cheaping out on your safety isn't a great idea. Do lots of reading and find someone willing to help you over some beers and work towards getting it back on the road. It's quite easy to go from bad to worse.

It's been off the road for 3 years, lots of things to check before you even turn key. It could take you 6 months or more just to do all those things before reaching that stage.

lol no not just the $100, the fuel filter,spark plugs,oil filter,oil, noid light kit,ratchet set,multimeter,batter charger kit wasn't cheap,test light,compression gauge,fuel pressure regulator with gauge , i think there was a couple of other things too.

haven't actually bought the spark plugs yet,need to know which ones to get. i heard NGK irridiums are good but which model ?

i would absolutely love for someone to help me and show me ,there will definitely be free beers for whoever helps lol.

i have been reading quite a bit.over 10 hours reading actually :S i am definitely getting more of a grasp of things but experience and being shown in person is definitely the way to go

even if i had to do it on my own.before i do each step ( checking for spark etc,) i'll re read what i've been reading and watch videos on youtube before i try each step just to be sure. really don't want to wreck anything. im very cautious hence why i ask questions that seem dumb but need that little bit of reassurance

i was going to take out the fuel pump and syphon whatever was left in the fuel tank, good idea or nah? then i was going to put $20 worth of petrol in and some fuel injector cleaner,not really sure how effective that will be but cant hurt,or can it ? lol

^you gap them down yourself using a feeler gauge or one of those $1 supercheap spark gap tools they sell at the counter. Anyways, just buy the .9 ones and put them in as is, they will be fine to get the car going.

    • A few small updates since the previous post and lessons. I decided to do a little interior light upgrade on the 110. I quite like the iilumo items, even if they're a bit of a premium over other brands. You'll also note the Stedi Fogs, that will go into the S15 fog lights as I needed to match the bulbs since I got the new ones earlier. I hope they fit as the body is quite a bit longer than your normal bulb.  Annoyingly, I managed to trip the fuse, which normally wouldn't be an issue until I located the fuse. I can't say I've ever come across this. I had lucked out that someone nearby had a spare, but oddly enough Toyota dealerships seem to keep this in stock. I ordered some to keep in my stash and as luck would have it, someone else nearby tripped the same fuse so I passed on the favour.  I also did a little service on the 110 ahead of some additional work coming up. It's been annoying that Goleby's stopped carrying this particular HKS filter for the 110, so now I need to keep them on order from Japan. I also took the opportunity to install a bash plate and number plate riser. The plate riser is such a cheap but nice fix to help really tidy up the car. I'm tempted to now also replace my headlights, on this car. Both items were from Project Aero.    I also needed to replace the rear tyres on the 110, and after trying to get it aligned learnt that I need to replace some bushes in the front end, so that's next.  Closing out this update with a nicer picture as always! 
    • Yeah mate, never miss it.
    • Any going to watch World Time Attack at SMSP this year?
    • Appreciate the correction on the "ground", that will make a huge difference to looking at this. That makes complete sense about AF70/AF71 which is what I had come down to being the issue, one of these. I'll have another look in the ignition wiring when I get a chance next week. I'll also make up a jumper wire for running that AF73 test.  ECU is fine, relay itself is fine, pump harness is fine and the pump itself is fine. I am going to upgrade the Walbro 255 anyway with a DW300 I have since I need to replace the fuel sender and I'm going to upgrade the FPR with my chasebays kit ready for new plenum/injectors/dbw, but I'll get this working first. That's why this is so frustrating.
