everytime i turn the car on the digital tacho resets
y is this happening 
WTF IS THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN
|
I am with you man, how does a tacho reset. Although i have had my dash chase the fuel gauge and fuel light once before maybe it is something like that?
|
nah he means the twin trip meter.
every time the car gets turned off and turned back on, it resets back to 0km.
also, what are these disco moves you're referring to with the fuel gauge etc?
mine never does that...
although if i park my car on a slope, and then turn it on again, sometimes it thinks ive got no fuel in the car... after driving for a while it figures out "hang on a minute, yes i do!' and updates

Would someone be able to tell me how much i'd be looking at for some koni shocks + king lows for my GZ20?
or something similar. I've decided I won't go coilovers for various reasons, however my suspension is getting beyond a joke at the moment.
I must record a clip of how much it bounces

That disco he is refering to is as soon he turns on his ignition after filling a full tank, the fuel gauge bars start to flash and then it just reads a completly empty tank.
From what i read this means that the signal isnt getting to the dash from the fuel sensor. This happended to me when i first got my car and periodically happens It was actually quite a shock driving it to uni shortly after recieving the car and you
have a full tank that after 40 mins reads empty lol.
I was told to take the sensor out of the tank and clean it with some wd40. I did that and it seemed to help but occasionaly it will read some silly reading. The sensor itself just looks like a toilet float and when cleaning it, it seemed like that it wasnt actually that well made(sorry toyota) as it felt like there was a little play in it. Maybe thats it. The contacts occasionally dont line up corectly and give crappy readings.
Ohhwell just live it. Work out how many litres you use to go 100km and use your oddometer/trip metter to work out how much petrol you have left!

i have only ever had the disco lights once but i am pretty sure the gauge read full then turned off as the fuel light turned on, then as the fuel light turned off the gauge when full and did this cycle about once every second.
But maybe the gauge read empty, hence why the fuel light came on. i turned the car off them back on and nothing changed, drove it for a few K's and it worked out. i thought maybe i filled it too much??? but i guess that is a little silly

wrong
After the ignition is turned on the gauge flashes a few times and then shows a FULL tank not an empty tank
Although it did once show me an empty tank I turned he car off and started it again and it was showing full

If the car is still standard then the 1jz-gte have the ceramic wheels not the steel ones unless they have been changed to steel by the previous owner and yeah they are pretty quick even in stock form , my friend has one it pulled hard even with 3 people in the car could feel us all being shoved into the seat when he floored it lollllllll that thing pulled 158kw with only a pod filter be carefull of the power steering pump that’s one of the main things to go on them which in turn will leak power steering fluid into the alternator and cause that to die as well im not very sure on that but PLANET SOARER will be able to help u out a lot

I know the V8's run around 16's. dunno about the TT's but i would think it would be close so about 15's, but thats a guess.
And as for earthing no i don't think it will be because of it. I think it doesn't help when it is cold the static builds up from the air rushing past the car. the only way to stop it is running the wire (and you can probably use any wire) to even out the charge with ground, or wear non conductive shoes, i can't remember if rubber soles prevent or help electrostatic discharge though.

why bother with a bov? the stock one sounds awesome IMO nice and subtle 
id crank a cooler and exhaust with a fuel cut defender, that should get you around the 190-200rwkw mark
got to love teh 1JZ

I gather that this is ur first turbo car by the way u describe the bov feeling lollllllll always want it louder in the start to scare people hahahaha
Yeah the stock bov wont be really loud u need something aftermarket blitz is the proven one for being the loudest , gfb ones are good too
U can get universal adapters from autobarn for the 1jzgte engine get one of them and fit whatever valve u fancy on it its not hard to do , ive done it for a few friends u need to take the stock one off though for the aftermarket one to work properly
If u want really loud sound get a small bov so it will always be pressurised and go off really loud type 1 or 2 should be sufficient for that
But u cant beat the blitz one for sound come to think of it there on for sale for ur type of car in the for sale section hope its still there go check it out soon

My stock as a rock JZZ30 did 14.6s down the 1/4. Best of 2.2s 60" foot time. No too bad IMO. This is Darwin also with our lovely hot and humid air. You southerners should be able to do better with the lower temps I reckon.
As Mr 1JZ said, exhaust, cooler, boost controller, FCD and you'll be laughing all the way to the track. You've got steel wheeled turbos all ready so that restriction is gone.

I know the brake pedal on an auto is usually larger than on a manual. It depends on how much clearance there is.
And you're gonna need a master cylinder for the clutch.

bets bit is the holes for the master are already drilled

Great auto to manual site here (poombah's site)
Information on removing and reattaching the bits here
That's for a 7M so numbers of bolts etc will be a bit different, but still very handy.
Wiring diagrams for the auto should be available somewhere. Not sure if it's different for a G series engine or not. You should just need to bridge the neutral start switch and wire up the reverse switch.

Just an update..
My GZ20 now features a 1JZ-GTE from a 1991 JZA-70 Supra.
Only mods are a custom "Y" dump pipe, custom intercooler piping and a large Hybrid style intercooler.
I'm still using the A340E auto box that was behind the 1G-GTE. Reason being MV Automatics said the A340E can go past 300kw easily, but the A342E from the 1JZ-GTE starts to run out of legs around 300kw. I'll be getting a stage 1.5 shift kit from those guys as I've been in a 1JZ Chaser with the kit and damn does it shift hard
Had to be the easiest engine conversion ever. Just drop the GZ20 subframe with gearbox and engine still attached. Roll the JZA70 subframe with 1JZ and gearbox attached under the Soarer. Lower Soarer and bolt subframe on. Bolt everthing else on. How cool is it that everthing from the JZA70 bolts straight up to the GZ20. Every bolt hole, screw hole, aircon lines, etc all line up. Only bolt hole needed to be drilled is for the MAP sensor. Wiring was a little tricky as there aren't many detailed GZ20 1G-GTE wiring diagrams about, but found that most of the wires joined up fairly easy, ie red with orange trace on GZ20 loom matched red with yellow trace on JZA70 loom, etc.

Will a MA70 cross member fit up exactly in place of a MZ10 cross member?
Just I read that its an exact fit up into a GZ20.
If so this would be great as it would totaly negate the need for a front sump. What about the power steering from the MA70 would this come opver too?

is there any 1UZ-FE Z20 soarers around??
just wondering, you dont see many..
also cruzsida, if you read this, i remember you mentioning how you had to get a custom bellhousing and flywheel to use a manual gearbox on a 1UZ. But i was reading in a thread earlier about a guy who put a 1UZ-FE in his MX-5... and he used the W58 box, just with a modified auto bellhousing and a 3SGE flywheel.
I didn't think that would be possible!
Also, how do you think the 1UZ would feel in a Z20 soarer?

i reckon that would be an awesome conversion, and it could be cheaper if you used an auto box as the manual conversion kills the budget...
but it would be a sweet conversion...even better if you strapped a pair of GT3040's to the side
