Was going to suggest something along the lines of this but yeah a quote and a *high five* will do :)

i was just coming back to say that, but not quite as bluntly. i was going to say it is a good hairdressers car. the only guys i know with mr2's are either gay/bi or love themselves a lot.
Yes the car looks the part for the homosexual crowd.

I'll try to do it up with some crazy carbon fibre bits and massive wing so it becomes a bit more hetero :)

You were implying he was gay!
Cute car.

I've always had a soft spot for these little cars...gay or not...we have to admit they handle alright...how difficult is it to swap the engine for a 2zz from a celica? it would give a hefty power increase wouldn't it? With a 2zz in there it would almost be a lotus elise...lolz...well...almost...congrats...

Not that difficult to shoehorn the 2ZZ in. It's a very popular conversion everywhere but Australia. Even the Techno Pro Spirits time attack MR-S in Japan uses the 2ZZ.

However the car must be converted to manual so you'll need to replace the SMT box.

And yes you're right once the 2ZZ is in you basically have a Japanese Elise!

Nice car bro!

But too slow for my liking

I went from R33 to MR-S for the exact same reason as you...save fuel, looks cool...etc

But after driving it for a few months, I got really really sick of it. too light and unstable at high speeds. Can't store anything for nuts, can't pick more than 1 passenger!!!! and no.1 ...SLOW....

So I sold it and went back to a skyline R34

haha...just my 2 cents

still nice looking though

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      Ok interesting i guess ill wait till using a manual gauge before making assumptions.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Not in any way a logical conclusion. Also, looking at those logs, I struggle to see how that much oil pressure can go away that fast unless you are sucking air into the pickup. Meanwhile the ECU voltage is chucking a huge wobbly which seems to be tied to the throttle position. 100% throttle results in decreasing voltage. It's a mess.

      Low oil pressure after WOT

      By pogman · Posted

      So didn't get around to installing a manual oil pressure gauge and then decided to take the car for a cruisey drive to a cars and coffee and brought the laptop along with to get another log using more gears to see if its an oil pressure issue under acceleration or after. this log has 3 gears of WOT where as previous had 2 and the oil pressure dropped once on the brakes, and the same again happens here which is interesting as it shows it can hold oil pressure while under acceleration but once slowing or just the lower RPM after a pull pressure drops. I will be chucking a manual oil pressure gauge on to confirm but so far this makes me feel it is not an electrical issue. Something else i realised is the pressure sensor also is giving temperature information and the temp stays steady the whole time which makes me feel like the sensor itself is showing a true pressure reading.

      R33 GTS25 NA - Stalling when vehicle is at operating temp

      By dbm7 · Posted

      For sure the later RB26 variants had a different setup (6 cam voltage sender?), but the RB25DE/DET share the same ECU pinout/PCB footprint, and at the ECU plug it ends up being 'throttle sensor in' & 'throttle sensor out' (to A/T TCU) ...you stick a multimeter on these pins and you'll find them directly connected (0 ohms) ; I had an pair of Nissan ECUs on the bench long ago, and I noticed this throttle sensor in/out link, actually linked to an op-amp ...which was unpopulated on the NA board, but present on the T board and I went 'ah-ha!' in some moment of clarity... ...it wouldn't surprise me if they changed strategy here though (in the software and actual monitoring of this signal), because they did with other stuff (A/T signals).. and 0.45v as a trigger point makes sense, as that's what the external TCU units expect at idle ; kudos, thanks for that insight...I suppose it boils down to whether or not Consult can display real time data of that signal's voltage... ...in any event, it presents the same target...ie; rotate TPS unit to achieve 0.45v to suit both ECU&TCU, and where do you goto from there? Just disconnect TPSwitch connector and/or that plus TPSensor connector....or do you go for the throat and disconnect IACV solenoid and see if it still stalls? (probably throws a recoverable fault code and goes for default idle strategy?)...
