HI I tried to sell my completely refurbished Soarer for only $5999 and was rebuffed. The whole front end was new, power steering rack, aircon compressor, water pump, new Tomei 2-way LSD new Bilsteins, 4 new tyres on sexy rims. Refurbed Touch screen and pre-amp. Jesus wept, I had to take out the...

HI All, my CD stacker was stuffed so my mechanic gave me one he had sitting around. I have since found out that while it looks the same, it is for a GT Soarer only. I have the touch screen Limited setup which is not compatible with this stacker. Is anyone interested in a swap for the...

Hi, Nathan at Grey Imports has been working on my Soarer for years and has decided to relocate to the Central Coast. I am after a Soarer savvy mechanic in Western Sydney if possible, at the very least in the Sydney area. cheers Ant

It's up and running! I got the beast back last night. The LSD has been fitted and a noisy rear wheel bearing fixed. The LSD is really tight right now and the wheels judder when turning at maneuvering speeds, but once away the diff erence (hehe) is amazing. I no longer have to wait for the...

I will be picking up my Soarer tomorrow after getting a new 2-way Tomei LSD. Their B series LSD is a straight internal swap. Just swap the main cog and off you go. Just Google Tomei Technical Trax and prepare to drool. I will let you all know how it feels once it has loosened up a bit. cheers...

HE HE on the weekend I saw a real sight! In the Australian Drift Championship, one of the top qualifiers is an AE86 Hatchi Roku Corolla with a 1UZFE conversion. The guy said he got sick of replacing the old 1600cc motors as they kept blowing. It has separate throttle bodies and a cam and it goes...

specs Damien has seperate throttle bodies, extractors, bullet heads, adaptec (i think) ECU and cams. I am only running cat back 2.5 inch exhausts and a Mines ECU.

After two Lextreme forum members came first (Damien 194KW) and second (Me 150KW) at the Toymods Dyno day, the 1UZ is standing tall in Sydney. So lets see a couple of UZ's mixing it up against 200sx's at Eastern Creek. www.circuitclub.com.au are holding another Eastern Creek track day on Anzac...

oh yeah Yes very happy with the Mines indeed. The dyno did something to the tune, the Soarer ran better afterwards. It either cleaned it out, or the ECU learned a better tune curve. hehe My mechanic was chuffed when I called him. The best bit was spanking the 2jz by heaps and the Celsiors, I...

yay! Dyno Day! Hey it was nice to meet a fellow 1UZ owner amongst so many Corollas. So does the Mines ECU make a difference?? :werd: 150.7 ATW Damien achieved 194 ATW :bigeyes2: people! cheers Ant

yep I recognise the avatar picture, you are the only one who will kick our ass, I can't afford membership on the day so an unofficial 3rd would do me in the over 2800 N/A category. There is a 2jz that might beat me.

Ah thanks for the heads up. I used to be a member of Toymods, but my music work meant I couldn't attend everything. I just felt inadequate all the time until I got a UZ hehe. I'll head down there and strap her on the dyno. $50 is pretty reasonable. There will be a guy there who has just ported...

As far as I have read on the various forums (and my mechanic agrees). The LSD from an auto jz series N/A supra is a straight bolt on job. But....the ratio is different and will cause the engine to rev a little higher than it used to at the same speed. There are two different ratio diffs...

dyno?? I was having that start-rough idle-stall problem after parking in closed in parking stations. If the motor was still warm I would sometimes have to restart 5 times. If there is a breeze around, no problem. I read that a new ecu would fix the problem, it did mostly. I found a Mines ECU...
