Hi all , I just purchased a new project car from a friend who's finances went downhill . Its an 87 soarer with a 1jz-gte-auto.
I just had it towed home and have been looking over it, It seems that the motor is in 100%. It just needs a cooler and pipes and also the radiator hooked up. The biggest worry is the wiring is not hooked up and the computer is on the passenger seat.. here are some pics.
I Photoshopped the number plate..
Does anyone know where i can find wiring diagrams or maybe even find someone in the brisbane or gold coast area that can wire it up for me???
Im stoked , Ive always wanted 1j powered something, and this is sweet, it has an LSD and i plan to show up some silvia / skyline's..
Thanks all...
Maty...

Thats what im doing to my soarer(its same as mine), talk to sideshow... he was gonna do mine and will be when i get the finances(will make mine easier for him too hehe)
Thats not an 87 model though, correct me if im wrong but thats a z1x soarer which stopped being built late in 85, the z2x soarer went from 86 onwards and is much rounder than said soarer.
Mines an 84 model and looks exactly the same.

Hey guys, I think I can help out here - I have the exact same car.
Never seen anyone else with one - Hey Fonz does the damn TV work?
I have had all the capacitors blanket replaced coz I couldn't work out whats wrong (they dont like low battery voltage i know that, starts bitching and you in japanese and beeping then turns of, right selfish i say - if i can work without sleep so can it). I'm pretty sure its a loose pin in the wiring loom (correct term?), which is gonna take to damn long to sort it out. But I will in the end.
and yeah
Its going to be a 3 litre 6M engine, non turbo'd. from 1985, only year they made them. Try keep your motor in good condition, when mine decided to blow a conrod bearing or something similar i was looking at 1.5 to 2 grand for a new motor. Managed to pick up one from T&H wreckers for $660, but isn't the best of replacements... you could actualy say worse - but it aint going to blow up anytime soon.
say, did you get leather interior with the car? and is your seat warmer hooked up? Infact does anyone with an MZ series Soarer have their seat heater hooked up? Is it possible to hook up the wiring (which is there) on cars that didnt come hooked up at factory?
Cheers all, and enjoy the ride Fonz, they comfy

nothing wrong with digging up soarer threads

 money and time spent well I hope? hehehe
yeah sure, not on this pc, i'll send some along soon enough, finishing some online training right now so i can pay the damn bank back.  i think my 50 days interest free are up and am no closer to getting paid - Coles Myer don't have my bank details yet.
Weren't you trying to work out whether to go with those wheelarch guard/trim on the soarer? did you go that way?

Are they metal?
How are the bumps getting removed (huzzah for girlfriends dads, unfortunately my lady's is a courier and a masters harpsicord player... can't work out what to get out of him )?
If they are metal... can you make them yourself out of sheet metal Mr 1GGTE?

they are stainless steel so all the bumps can be knocked out of them and returned to new condition
he is a sprayer/beater, did my whole car for me, saved me 3 grand(out of a 6 grand job)
Kristian: I woulda bought that car off you for the same price you bought it for, way back when .. i guess im glad i didnt have to wait 9 months for an ecu
