Pink GTRs look well cool Kieran! Hope you get this gets 100% sorted soon!
Ok so a little update, my parts arrived from Toyota:
Full set of connectors to plug the loom into the coils
A plastic piece that has something to do with the recirc valve lol
Rubber donut to hold the prop in place
Fuel pressure regulator

And out came the old donut, in pieces!

Now its totally different to drive, its not clunky at all really, the diff does clunk but not too badly, just the usual. The back end feels so much more precise under acceleration. It has dropped the prop slightly so it was hitting the exhaust a bit. I hammered the bejasus out of the exhaust hangers today but its still slightly touching under hard acceleration, i'll sort it at the weekend.
Otherwise its running sweet now, I have to get the boost gauge going again, i think it's been plugged out or disconnected or something. I had to raise it to meet the insurance assessor today with regards the damage on the bumper. I also had to take off the rotas. So thats done, pinks are now back on, shes as low as it can go now and I fitted (badly i might ad!) a Jimmy Up sticker!

noice, love the way you just cleaned that little bit where the sticker is
Lots of good updates this weather. Keep it up. ;) The car looks amazing with the pink Rotas on it at that ride height.
Love those pink Rotas :)
The last two times I cleaned it, it broke down lol. So i might just not clean it again for a while!
Yea the pink is staying. I need a roof spoiler, otherwise the outside is as is for now. I think..... :D
Wheels are seriously kool man, i thought a car like that would need dishu.............u have just proved me wrong, u got fronts too?? Hurry up n bang em on n clean her up :) Mint!!
GTRs all round man, they really suit the car
Nah never got fronts. If I was to put GTR's on the front they would have to be 17's, i couldnt run it that low on 18's. And I love the staggared look. Plus after looking at 81's on the net for years I promised myself id never run a full set of the same rims on it! My ideal setup is like 18x10J low offset equips or Veilside Andrews on the back and 17x9.5 GTR's on the front....
Some day!
Thanks everyone for the nice comments :)
pink gtrs are deadly man some car its huge fair play...
sell me the wheels
Thegenuine 1POT caliper works and I am the worst with the touch and cannotexpect the dangerous, hard run. (-_-;) Actually, it was オシャカ in theSendai highland book course in fully opening run one week. (-_-;) しかぁーし! ! I work when I install a 4POT caliper so as to be surprised,and touches みちがえり can run in peace. If even if ask it the tire chargesbecause foil for BIC caliper can wear 16 inches (R32GTR chastity),the foil runs with reasonable ♪♪ heavy 81; a 4POT caliper isnecessities!
;)
eeeeeeeeeeeeeerm! something you found in the car and translated? to do with brakes?
He bought something for the wife. New pots for the kitchen I reckon.
Overfuelling much??

wtf?? how is that happening?? ps you must spin out this direction!
I would have thought that would mean under fueling, ie runnig lean...
Without doubt the coolest car on the site,Saw it tonight!
Pictures do nothing for this car!
I dont think you understand how much of a statement that is for me,
I actually cant stress how cool it actually is.
A mate of mine with a 500hp Evo 9 MR came over and and said "Jesus I'd swap my evo for that".
Its so fookin cool
Thanks Mick. Good to say hello. Your pal with the civic is comming over here tomorrow, we're gonna take a spin to the cinema :D
@ Famous jh. No rich, SERIOUSLY rich!!
On my way to Mick the car started mis-firing in Maynooth. I pulled over and tell it run like shit for a minute. It cleared out after a bit and off I went. On the way back I got to Barberstown Castle and it started again, I didnt have a spot to pull over so I drove to Barretts and stopped at their entrance. As I put on the handbreak I saw a flash, looked in the mirror and saw flames litterally higher than the car :eek: Me and the dog fookin legged it lol. I checked the fuel gauge and Clane to Maynooth (13km) used at least 15 quids worth of fuel, hence the flames. Left the car off for 15 mins till the flames and fire in the exhaust went, started it and it cleared out in a few seconds and off we went. Started again at Liffey Valley so I pulled over straight away, left it off for a minute then it was fine. And grand to get home.
So the coils are fine, the pump is new, the wiring is ok, the ignitor is ok, which leaves the injectors and the ECU unless im missing something else. Im not happy with the ECU but a guy has put up 540 1J injectors on DW so hopefully that will eliminte everything bar the ECU if I get them.
Thanks again Mick, I washed it today, first time since I got the wheels. Im still 50/50 on changing the look but I dont need to decide till the winter I guess
Thanks Pete. Nah I want it to have character like yours!
Your car has more Character than a disney box set dude! I wouldnt change a thing,Me and the lads loved the bumper and the full look of the car!
Oh,And you need management to sort that fuel issue!
Not like that you don't!!
Thanks for the offer man. Stevo on Dw has a set of 540's for £120 sure it would probably cost as much just to have mine checked. They are low impedence so I need a 2jz resistor pack though.... Whatever that is lol
anyway I don't think it's the injectors I'm very confident it's that bastard ECU. The auto electrician told me that that ECU was playing up when it got hot. And since the car has been running it's been faultless. But only after the weekend I put it back ipbehind the glove box.... Before it was just hanging out... So maybe that was litterally true... Because it was roasted when I checked it
Yeah man you defo need PFC or somthing to that effect!
Company in Portlaoise tests injectors,I dont think its a common practice around the country.

Can I get a wiring harness to plug in a PFC to my loom (model specific) and then use any PFC or does the PFC unit itself have to be model specific??
My dad keeps on about some place near town, i cant remember the name though...
The PFC is model specific and plugs into the existing loom. It's all of a five minute job to fit.
PFC has to be model specific which is a pain as I wouldnt imagine their plentyfull for your wagon!
I thought as much :( There are two brand new ones on the yahoo auctions for 147,000yen or about €1200. I might look out for a second hand one
