haha, that's great.

When I worked at Adelaide Engine we used to sell second hand Scania & Volvo pistions for $20 as they made great ashtrays (ie. the combustion chamber is built into the top of the piston).

SLED, spoke to a good friend of mine tonight who is a tech at toyota, There is a recall on the 200. The vaccumm pump accumulator valve opens far too much causing the motor to burn excessive oil...This can be fixed with a simple flash of the ecm. Toyota do it on warrentee, Also if you get a spungy brake pedal it's because the Diaphram in the master cylinder has a slit in it rather than a hole..hard to explain over the net. But Minor things and will be fixed for free.

So many lines up for grabs these days! Infact, even I'm barely keeping hold of the GTR. Still up in the air about if I'll sell it, or keep it...

If my $ improves, then I'll keep it for another year!

haha im in the exact same sittuation, gotta figure out what i wanna do before the years insurance is up. very very tempted to go down the chaser route

^ i know you guys are confused now so im going to pretend you didnt just say that :(

godzilla can not be replaced by some sort of "chaser" possible meaning to the name lagging behind :D

and pete keep your damn hands off mine :( and if you mod a vspec 2 32 there will be some gheto like behaviour out of me

ah, thanks for the heads up.........I'll print this out and point these things out when I get the service done :(

but seriously mang, your money, your choice, no point the whole of SAU telling u to get volks, and you wishing for the rest of your rim ownership that u got gtr's... maybe you can get gtr and spend 600 on brakes? id go gtr and rotor upgrade over the 37's.

    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard 
    • If it's reading full rich prior to a misfire that gives one directional hint, if it's already reading lean, etc. If it's reading pretty cleanly stoichiometric then suddenly drops out from a misfire that suggests it's not air mass estimation that's the problem. Could be ignition, could be something more subtle. Could be the CAS has decided to start dropping out at random or the drive pin is worn leading to excessive lash and trigger errors. LTFT can tell you the same but it's slower to react and if this is a recent issue it might not have stabilized. STFT stuck in one direction vs fluctuating back and forth can be used instead but I like to read O2 voltages anyways and interpret directly. If the O2 voltages make no sense in general or are super slow to react it could also be a failing O2 sensor. There's no real error correction for failing O2 sensors in these cars.
