indian wrote on Wed, 13 July 2005 11:02 | Guys im thinking about getting a nice exhaust for the soarer , is it better to get it done here or import one of the direct bolt in ones from Japan ,
Also im getting neons on the soarer for under car its already got blue led parkers , and ive ordered some purple under car neon’s do u think its going to look good , I didn’t go blue cause everyone one has blue ,
Maybe hot pink
What u think
i know its a rice idea but neons married to a soarer will have people wondering
wtf was that baaahahahahahahaha
its only for that reason
also need that fron bar changed isnt that black soarer have the dianan bar or am i dreaming
is that the one tt5oar is making
whatever its is hope the cooler will be able to be seen hehehe thats the only reason i changed mine

So what price are we loking at for the copied front bar
Also will there be driving light slots included in it
Plus id say that the bar is a bit too low for Australian roads might have to take the bottom bit of it up a little bit otherwise its gonna be scrape heaven

If I get a hybrid frontmount I might just chop my front bar in the middle...
If done right it may look OK.
and I can mount my numberplate in the bottom corner DORIFFFTOOOO STYYYLEES!

Nah cant do too much of other metal brackets and shite in there that will be visible like dogs balls if u cut the whole front bar off that’s why I haven’t done it yet it will def look nice but the other stuff that will be visible will ruin the whole thing

I would mount the intercooler flush with the bar, so that the cut section reveals only the intercooler... of course.
Probably use some fibreglass to smooth off the edges back to the intercooler, it would be a hell of a job, but how satisfying would it be after you've finished!!

I have busted monroes and heard pedders are crap, KYB is the way to go, and they nearly cost double too, but you get what you pay for.

earthweb wrote on Wed, 13 July 2005 14:51 | Well, this is mine with the middle bit cut out..

Same as my avatar.
The intercooler is painted black so you can't see it though and the bumper support that went through the middle has been cut out. Now that I know cutting the bumper support is illegal as it's structual I'll have to find another one. So I'll probably put some black mesh in there to hide the support bar when I get another one.

THATS EXACTLY WHAT MY CAR LOOKS LIKE
xcept mines has slimline number plates in the middle center so it covers a bit of the gap lolllll
but even with all that the cooler still cant bee seen and yeah i didnt cut the bumper support i wanted to but left it u will not be able to mount the cooler flush with the bar if the support is still there (merudo)

fuckit, out it will go then
i doubt they'll notice you don't have a bumper support... as long as the thing isn't sagging or something
and in the interests of safety, i shall brace it where it wont be visible anyway...

I'm running KYB struts and Dobison springs.
Used to be on my mates JZA70 Supra and they seem to be pretty decent. Still, I wouldn't mind coilovers though.

Nah, that's okay
It's factory fitted and I wouldn't give it up unless I was fitting an aftermarket kit.
I come across the factory kit often when I rumage through auctions.yahoo.co.jp nothing's together. It's either front bar, rear bar and side skirts being sold by different people.
Just type in things like "GZ20", "MZ20", "Soarer", "1G-GTE", etc in the search box in the top left corner and click on all the blue links to see what they are. Most have a bit of english words in them to understand what they are, the others are 100% Japanese so just click and see what comes up.

hi,
I just decided to see what error codes (if any) my car was pulling and it's returning a code 22 i think
(flash flash.... pause for 4 seconds or so... flash flash...)
and it just repeats that, so i guess it's a code 22...
What does code 22 mean?
Cheers

ok,i just looked it up now that i've searched
http://toymods.org.au/Repository/TechDocs/1GGTEU%2 0diagnostics.doc

and it says that error 22 is this -
22 Water thermo sensor signal
Open or short circuit in coolant temperature sensor
Possible Trouble Area
1. Coolant temp. circuit
2. Coolant temp. sensor
3. ECU
now how in the hell do i go about fixing that 
I just replaced the thermostat but i dont know if the error code was always occuring.....
Where is the coolant temp sensor? because my temp gauge reads fine... that's what i dont get...

those who have installed a gauge in their aircon vent on the drivers side, how difficulkt was it to plumb all the wiring into the engine bay? cause ive got my gauge and i want to install it this weekend.
also, if anyone has any advice for my post regarding error code 22 and how to rectify it, it would be greatly appreciated.

kinda figured that, wasnt sure if there was other associated fuses that needed to be pulled.
and if you just unclip the battery IIRC you need to leave it off for longer, whereas the fuse for the ECU you just have to take it out for 60 seconds or something

Pull the EFI fuse for 5mins, that clears the memory.
The temp guage has NOTHING to do with the ecu temp sensor.
Merudo, pull the EFI fuse, put it back in, drive car for a few days, recheck codes.
If its still there, look at the green 2 wire temp sensor, test it.
If its faulty, replace it.
And I know you are going to ask me how to test it, so

ok guys, anyone need a part for there soarer 'may' be in luck. I have an MZ21 GT limited auto soarer which is gonna be sold off in parts. I'm taking what i need for my new one (mainly interior items and wheels) but still leaves plenty up for grabs. The motor has a blown piston but otherwise complete and can still be started. I have a spare set of adjustable coilovers, spare high flow turbo, 3" exhaust, BOV, fuel cut defender on top of standard accesories which come on the car which none of those i need on my new 1j beast. Also any panels etc i may have too.

she's just a friend... but she REALLY wanted to go... i wasn't gonna say no, but I made sure to illustrate that the lack of a glass object to keep the cold penrith midnight winds out, and the threat of rain (which it did rain, all over me, on the freeway home) is bad
