Ok, big update! I got myself a manual gauge test kit thing (surprisingly hard to find at local stores...) and here are the results: Cold start 50 psi at 1200 rpm lowers to 40 psi after approx. 10 seconds gets down to 30 psi and the coolant temp is starting to rise Hot idle @ ~900 rpm...

:cry: make it stoppppp!!!!

I didn't personally but the shop that checked and polished the crank did. The plugs looked shiny and new so I trust it was done. Are you thinking metal particles are in the engine?

I'm pretty sure it's the rods, I've been listening to this engine for ages now. Just went out to make sure the gauge sender and wiring was all in order (no transportation to go get a mechanical gauge right now) and it's all still the same. Tapping sound is louder, sounding just like last time :(

MKIV with 3600 miles is :aigo: Mighty nice looking MKIII you have there too :) I haven't seen many with pinstripes.

Not yet but that was my next plan of action :) I should probably mention there is a slight tapping noise starting to come from the engine.... very similar to the past 2 tapping noises that led to rods a knockin' though. I really don't believe there's zero oil pressure though so a mechanical...

When I had 4.30s it "felt" a lot faster. But 1st gear went by so fast it was pretty much useless and 2nd wasn't much better.... I swapped to 3.73s and am happy with highway cruising but I dunno about drag racing. I'd imagine for 1/8 mile it would net you faster times to go with 4.30s though.

Ah I knew I forgot something! I'm using a USDM pressure sensor off of a 7M-GE. From what I understand they're the same between GTEs and GEs right?

I've been having a strange oil pressure issue ever since I've had my current 7M-GTE. A short history of it: -Bought as a JDM import engine, cleaned it up & installed new HG and dropped it in. Ran for maybe 600 miles and rod knocked. During this time my oil pressure gauge was not hooked up so...

If I go I'd be leaving from Raleigh :) But I'm not sure if I'll be able to yet..

+1 the cowl is great! And the fender lumps. And the little bulge part in the back next to the quarter windows.

JW, what are the differences between the KDW2 and the g-Force Sport? I am very happy with my g-force sports (but I'm not anywhere near 500 hp) but also saw BFG KDW and KDW2 tires for sale.

That doesn't come stock with a MKIII? :biglaugh: Pretty crazy to see a mildy modded 7M beat a 1JZ! I liked my 4.30s a lot, but highway driving with a R154 was a bit of a pain with them.

no fat chicks car too low will scrape? this car is equipped with a turbocharger, all female passengers are required to remove all tight-fitting garments? :D I want one of the second sticker to go under the passenger sun shade.

I have red coilpacks, a black ps reservoir, and a red ps reservoir cap too :) The 1JZ THIS badge is funny!

Yes

When I swapped my handles out the lock cylinder came out with the handle. Just unplug the wire coming from it and take the handle out with the lock, and take the lock cylinder off when the handle's out of the car.

Thanks, the last time I checked the price of them was a good while ago :)

Where did you order your springs from? The RS-R site charges obscene shipping and they seem to be quite difficult to find online.

I've been meaning to go for ages, I hope I can make it this year.
