Good luck with the wiring issues. Just thought I would mention Jeff retired from Champion recently. Kinda sucks as he was great to deal with.

Thanks for the info jetjock. Looks like my issue is with the ECU.

Any one got an idea???? I still can't figure this one out. I need to understand how the ECU sends the 'flashes' to the CEL, so I can try and trace why it wont do it anymore....... I'm guessing it grounds the 12v coming through the light on/off to display the flashes, but does it ground through...

Nope, it's off with the key off/out... Comes on just like normal when the key is turned through 'ON'.... Then stays on when the car is started.

OK, so the Check engine light is now on constantly, and won't flash when jumpered.... Sorry for the long post, but I'm stumped. Car is a 91, originally NA now 1JZ however this system seems to be common throughout the models/engines.. The CEL has worked correctly previously, and I have not...

Jeez Ken, I stop paying attention for a while and you do all this buying and selling.... So lemme get this straight.... You sell the pretty blue one, get a pimp mobile Lexus, then realize you gotta have a fun car so get a gay blue 87T??? Anything else I missed??? Although I know what you're...

Car runs good now, had to do the 12v fuel pump mod to get it going... Here's a few pics of it completed. Still looking for new wheels, threw the TT rims on for now. Suspension is next to get rid of the 4x4 look.

Got everything hooked up today, car fired right up first crank, then quit..... it runs for 5 seconds then shuts off :dunno: Not sure why yet as I gave up for the day. I will look into it tomorrow. Here's a pic of the 1J in the silver car.

Pulled the 1J out of the black car and cleaned it up a bit. I fixed some of the wiring and dropped it in the silver car. Just got it sitting in there then finished for the day. I will hook everything up tomorrow and start it... USDM 2JZ cams

It will stay wingless, I like the look. I have a KevinM sunshade though which looks great IMO. Coilovers are currently being shopped for, and wheels are coming too. Locally for sale there are some work VS-KF's and some SSR D5R's that I will look at this week. Hopefully I will be able to test...

I used simple green and a pressure washer to clean the bay. Plus a little elbow grease to get in the corners etc...

Here's a few more pics. Pulled the 7M from the silver car today and cleaned the bay. I plan on pulling the 1JZ from the black car tomorrow, then spend a day or so cleaning it up before dropping it in the silver car.

You are lucky you found that 92... I was just starting to look around for a new car when I saw Dave posting it. I PM'ed him but I was too late, he said a guy from outta state was coming to get it,then I see your build thread:biglaugh: Glad it found a good home.... The black car will either be...

Thanks for the comments guys. I have a couple more weeks of work, then I have a couple of weeks free, so I'm gonna throw the 1J in the silver car then. Can't wait to get into it!

Yep, the black car came from Alex. It is a bit of a mess, but I like projects, and the drivetrain seems to be in good shape, which is the main thing I wanted from the car.

Just thought I would share my new toys, and say hello to SM since its been a while..... Long story warning!! I sold my red 89 a year ago, I owned it for 8 years and never planned on selling it, but I took a job in Dubai and thought I would have no time for it anymore. Well turns out I...

Josh, was nice to meet you too. I'm jealous of your car! Ken, Good to see you again. I saw the photo of us earlier too, sorry I didn't get to chat with ya more. Poodles, where were you??? I had a great day, was good to see a few of the old guys and meet some new ones. The bad part is it...

Ken, Nice car!! I have just run through some of this thread, this one looks like a keeper. You gotta love the 7M though, you spend more time looking at the temp gauge than the road:sarcasm: I will be in Houston around TX2K9, will try to catch up then. Craig.

They are all over ebay, just search for 2JZGE mainfold. I got mine from Advan Racing. I paid around $250US for the mani/DP/Intake pipe, but the manifold is available separately too for around $100-150. I have seen a few of these from different vendors though and they are all the same. Maybe a...

IJ Here's a few pics. I remember now the main reason I used a spacer was that the outlet on my S cover would sit on the #1 runner. If I clocked the cover to clear the runner it faced into the strut tower, so to clock it down enough to clear the tower, and also give room for a silicon...
