Merudo Forums Junkie Location: Central Coast, NSW Registered: February 2005	Help me out here... 1G-GTE Z20 soarer - now with manual conversion questions! Thu, 07 April 2005 05:53 Hi everyone. As you may or may not know... I've just recently got a new 1987 GZ20 soarer. I'll start by saying yes, its COMPLETELY stock, except for a GReddy turbo timer. I thought yep, this is great, I'll clean her up , keep it immaculate, and off we go... I've got a nice car. Well after owning it for a while, my perception on what I wanted has changed somewhat, and now I want it better. Handling, power (to a degree... I dont want to change the engine [yet] ) First off I want to get it fully serviced and mechanically A1. As far as I know there's nothing wrong with the car.. except it blows a little smoke when it first turns over. I've been told that could be valve stem seals. It also makes a very faint ticking noise coming from the engine... Increases in speed with RPM. So servicing is top priority. Where should I take a car like this to get serviced? I'm wondering what I should do to it. I've had a very generous offer (least it seems like a good price) for some Cusco comp-1 coilovers for it, would they be worthwhile investment? Someone else suggested that unless I want to have to wear a mouthguard when driving around on the road, that theyre too stiff for normal driving, and I should just get some new pedders sports suspension or something. is it really that bad? Exhaust, well, it's still got the stock one on there, and EVERYONE i've talked to has basically yelled "GET A NEW EXHAUST" at me. heh. I don't know where to start looking, let alone what one to get. Rims, well how do you think some 17" oz racing ripoffs from an R33 would look on a silver soarer? I may be able to get some of those for a fair price. Please, any suggestions at all, even if you don't like soarers. I'm just still after as much info as possible and I want to get my car handling better and perhaps a little more powerful. Obviously I'm on a budget, so it will be a "one-thing-at-a-time" jobbie... Look forward to see your replies! Also, just out of curiosity, how much would it cost for a manual conversion? Cheers James PS: wanna become a paying toymods member soon too looks like a great community here [Updated on: Mon, 11 April 2005 01:53] [Report message to a moderator]
