after a little bit of research, i decided this was the route i wanted to take, and found a shell that had basically everything minus what is included in this package.

***pics soon***

mods that i am planning to install to get the car running:

HSD - HR Type Coilovers http://www.otomoto.com.au/HDSystems/hrseries.htm

KAAZ L.S.D - Basic - 1.5 Way http://www.slidingperformance.com/store/in...mp;productid=74

future mods that aren't so important:

- haven't decided yet, but either 17" or 18" wheels with a decent offset

- comfy bucket seats for driver and passenger

- gauges, boost controller etc.

- upgraded brakes (rotors, pads and brake lines)

iv been looking around at different brakes, ecu's, coilovers and gauges and decided on the following:

dba slotted rotors, hawk hps performance pads, goodridge braided brake lines, tien super street coilovers, defi gauges and a kaaz lsd (probably a 2way).

after i while of getting used to the car il be upgrading to a microtech ecu with hand controller, aluminium radiator and some 17" rims.

God damn a 1J in there will be pretty crazy to drive I reckon. They go good in a fat arse soarer imagine it with only 1250 kgs to push!

Just out of intrest sake do you know what your 1J weighs?? and is it VVTI?

Cheers.

    • Just a thought, was that car and auto at any point of its life? If so, maybe whoever bridged the inhibitor switch/circuit did a not so good job.
    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
