Ok so where to begin. Basically the car now looks like the pics above ha
So I swapped the new(er) ECU in and fucked off the HKS plugs for Denso's, what was originally taken out for the HKS' yokes. And she ran sweet. So I rebuilt the drivers side interior, boot, cleaned up the rest bar the glove box just incase, put the bumper back on, and taxed it! Took it for a quick 200 mile roundtrip and all seemed ok, so I fitted my Christmas presents! The Gram Lights and the Federals for the fronts

So my dad made me some cool ramps, I got him to do 4 but i really only need two, at its lowest I could still drive up onto them and clear enough to jack from the chassis rail/suspension/diff, so no more sill jacking :D
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_0054.jpg
The rears are 265's on a 9.5J and I thought they would look stupid but I'm quite liking the stance like that, and its very daily driveable too.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_0056.jpg
So after I took that picture, I took it out and got it washed and waxed it and it looked great but before I got a chance to take any pictures it was Monday and back to work and given a current family situation, my daily trips from Monaghan to Dublin and back. So by Tuesday it was manky.
I then decided to drop it on its arse for the craic! I did the rears first and the front the day after
Issue number 1: (I can get it up the drive at an angle! :D )
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_0069.jpg
I think 225's and maybe a small spacer might look better

And then with the fronts done:

So now its broke down again :( The fuel pump appears to be running off the side & fog lights :confused: Fogs on make it run on start up pressure, thus flooding it and sides make it work on normal, which essentially is fine only it does neither now, and broke on me in Ardee! Got it towed home today and to tow it i took off the bumper and raised it right up to be safe. Gonna hand it over to an auto electrician to fully sort out once and for all!!
Thanks for reading! :)
man them gram lights look class on the car an looks real pimp sittin that low:D
Such HARDSHIP:D:D:D
im a huuuge fan of that man, nice ride height!! :D
The car looks rude now. Very nice. :) I want an 81!
Noice!!! 81's are full of win :cool:
Thanks again for the kind words!
So another small update:
Ok, well if you read my last post you'll know that the car is currently out of order with a frankly weird electrical problem. So I did the most rational, intelligent thing the other day....
.....yes you guessed it, I bought a 6pt harness!! :D From Dean Kearney's car, I love the colour so I couldnt resist.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/81cd61de.jpg
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/322eb035.jpg
On another note im on it trying to sort the electrical problem!! Priorities priorities :p
its looks fookin class altogether man, PIMPIN aint EASY hehe
all thats missing out the pic with the harness is a can of beer haha leather, remote and a beer what more would ya need
hahaha ive ben tempted to watch corporation strret with that on, restrain myself from slitting my wrists!
So thanks to Yowdy and another nice chap (didnt get his name sorry :o) part 1 or operation fix the fucker was completed and now the car is with a recommended auto electrician at last after 4 weeks sitting around. All going well i might hear some news after the weekend.
I got a spare set of coils as it is tending to misfire a bit but i think its the shitty connections rather than the coils. So im considering a wasted spark kit to bypass all that craic. Worth the hassle anyone?
Stunning! Wheels look fantastic on it and the low stance is amazing :D
Eh not now it aint :DQuote:

Bleed brakes so I can stop
Replace a bearing/bush midway between the box and the diff on the prop (apparently i'll see it when I look under the car!)
Lower it a few feet
tracking
check the lights
and a couple of other things I forgot
Oh yea see the assessor to sort out the damage after nearly 6 months!
But its running so im happy for now
It's alive!!!!!!!!! Hopefully it stays that way forever now.
Check out the shameless plug thread :(Quote:

Nah, not anymore. Dunno what it is now. Once or twice I started the car i thought it was weird, it was starting sometimes almost too quick. Then I went to the shop, got in and started it, it ran for a few seconds and died (EM light on). Then started it again but would just turn over and not start. left it ten seconds and she started fine. Drove off, and about 1 minute later im doing about 50k's in fifth and it jolted like it was out of juice, the EM light is on again and its slowing, then picks up again. I stop at the next roundabout and it cuts out. Same again, wouldnt start, left it a few second and it started again... Same when I pulled up at the house.
My only retarded thoughts are the fuel system might be losing pressure. Maybe I should put the standard pump back in and see if that helps...
I'd defo say its a pump issue
well the old one was obviously ok so it will do no harm swapping it back (only its a pain in the hole!)
I'd wait till you burn any fuel in the tank tho
True, although I can just syphon it out and put it in the other shit box at the house :D The last time I did the pump I had litterally done about 20 miles from a €60 fill up. Took me all day i was bolloxed after draining it!
Ok so we are making progress now. Kind of! The guys came out to the house today finally. So before, the car drove, albeit not 100% but drove. I then pull the fuel pump relay and now it wouldn't even start, with the new or old relay.
So after checking stuff, we pulled out bits of the dash and changed the ECU. Boom, started on the button. Then put in the other ECU again and it wouldnt start. OK so problem sorted as such. Only when the guys tested both ECU's the one that now has the car working right, they were not happy with originally. It came from Barry McCanns 81 and I do wonder has it been remapped in any way making it useless for my car perhaps, i dunno. The ECU that doesnt seem to be working was the one from my car which had blown capacitors but was repaired. Maybe it is just not right. So essentially its the ECU. It was giving the same code 14 it has been since I got the car, and thats the first time we have found something wrong. The only other thing that could be contributing to issues could be the injectors or the wiring for the injectors.
So are there any ECU experts in Ireland? Like somewhere I can send 1 or both ECU's and they can check every parameter? Or failing that can I go an alternative route without spending thousands on a whole new ECU system??
Ok on to the pics ha
I bought Dan Mooreheads pink GTR's and got them today. Comparasin pics below, what does everyone think? (nevermind the name, more the size etc.) Gram lights are 17 x 9.5. GTR's are 18 x 9.5. Personally I think 18's are much better, but Gram lights in 18's would be better again!

Are second hand 81 ecu's had to find?
18's are too big on it and the colour is gay. :D
I could get one posted from Japan and have it within a week. If I get exactly what I need. After that it has to come from a JZX81 Mark II or an Auto Soarer... so its possible.
Feck off!! :p
Would one from a Mkiii Supra not do?
Put two of the same angle pics together to get a better comparison.
http://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_8738.jpghttp://i9.photobucket.com/albums/a59...1/IMG_8745.jpg
and...... pink GTR's win. :)
Nice one! Yea definately. A bit of stretch would make the GL's much better but would probably make the car lower too, and any lower and it will be undriveable as a daily. :)
Nah apparently not. Oh no wait, maybe its the auto Supra, im just thinking, cos I had an auto Soarer here and the ECU wouldnt fit...
