a month and a half

still not running & what a waste of my roadtax...

did u know the roadtax for 2500cc vehicle in Boleh Land is rm870 per year,

can't afford for a year,so i opted for 6 month only...

no luck repairing the ECU, maybe have to find another set~

God knows how i hate jzx81 ECU!! LoL

part 2: Biggie and Pac?

just as i suspected,a fry capacitor!~

ask my dad to help me repaired the ECU,plug in back,and start..idling went wacko~

i already pull out the battery terminal to reset the ECU setting,also wanna change the spark plug but then again~its sunday!!all the shop are closed beside raining cat n dog just isn't helping..

i hope that will settle the idling issue,

honestly im on my last nerves with the stock jzx81 ECU..

after the single turbo conversion is done,im definitely gonna save me some money again and buy me a stand alone management (within another 4 year maybe hahaha)

Biggie and Pac?

i supposed to change the rear suspension back to JIC yesterday..i drove all the way to pick it up from my parent home in Kajang to my place in KL..removed the kit,backseat,jack up the car only to discover i didn't have enough tools..maaaaderrfarker!

considering that i have to work at 6pm (take note its Sunday...urgh) i postponed it till next week,packed up and start the car,guess what..it wont start..after checking all the necessary thing,

i try again..everything was okay,it start ok~then i noticed the "engine check light" went blinking on and off a couple of time..5 minute running,engine went into subaru imprezza version 8 boxer mode and revving stuck at 2000rpm...later it when dead again for good..

haven't got a decent time to properly check the problem and Joe40c will be coming tomorrow~

i have a feeling that its the ECU..we'll see if im right or wrong hahaha

Inside a Blitz

got this jza70/jzx81 ecu that was sent to me for repair

it looks like it got an extra board compared to the stock one hmmmm~

Chasing the R~

Saturday- got a sms from Temujin,inviting me for a Sunday Morning Drive,from Ulu Yam to Goh Tong Jaya..

since there's not gonna be anymore midnight uphill sometimes till this end of the year~

i say why not..plus i always wanted to experience the other way to the city of entertainment =)

the route map

7 a.m-so we meet up at Petronas Batu Caves (queuing to fill up NGV i see)

4 skyline, 1 fairlady, and a volvo...huhu this is gonna be hard to keep up~

hey~multicoloured thingy

so i choose to be the last car in the group~traffic is not too heavy considering its still early,compared to the "usual" route,the road here are much more wider,surface is good and there is a long stretch where u can just let it all out~one of the guys is going up to 220km/h...huhu i forgot im running with the GTR~as for me,110km/h is the max hahaha

almost an hour later we arrived at the destination,i got left behind and seems to lost my way LOL~ btw the speed bump at the police post is a Killer!

then we go have breakfast with the official drink for gathering session,the Teh Tarik~

its a cool place,i must say hehe

after long chit chat,its time to leave~

here is Azmir part of the story~

http://azmir1.blogspot.com/2010/12/breakfast-gtj-1.html

oh ya,aside from shitty car alignment and leak suspension,broken bodykit, the turbo starting to give up (halfway through,i notice the boost has drop to 0.5bar),and now power steering pump is officially f*ck up hahaha~after fixing all this im definitely gonna be back for round 2!

Scary~man

the car currently at Za place doing some welding job,more on that once its finish..btw look what za spotted at the rear diff~

3 of the nut holding the right drive shaft is missing!its really scary~man...the result could end up like my previous car huhu

so i decided to buy some washer spring and lock nut instead..

Part Two : Sugar, were goin down~

from "Part One : sound at the gate",the wastegate are already functioning but the problem with the unstable boost still occurred..after a few series of discussion with the mechanic, we conclude that i have wrongly marked the wastegate positioning..DUH~

Epic ~RnD went wrong ha ha ha..its not that i didnt do a research about it before,but like i said before not many 1jz owners wanna do this kinda thing,and i cant find a thing on this over the world wide web..


this is how it supposed to be done (excuse the stupid drawing,but thats the best that i can do LOL)by making a U shape pipe the air flow from both turbo should hold the boost pressure stable...

so now i still can drive the car,its just i cant full boost..thinking of redoing the whole thing back,but its 2 week more before Eid and workshop are getting busy with customers car..to add it up ,i noticed white smoke from the exhaust~a small sign of turbo is going to die again...and worst of all waterpump is leaking water slowy..price for a new set from weng hin?almost rm2k~ hahaha....

BUMMER!! maybe its the calling of single turbo~ha ha ha errrr Narf!

done sorting~

after patching all the wire and changing a broken fuse for Electronic Fuel Injection,yeah,its alive again..and now i got a sunburn after working on the car for too long under the sun...hahaha but its worth it..

sorting out...

after work,jack up the car and begin to patch the wire

this extra long wire from my faulty Apexi RSM does come in handy hehe...will continue tomorrow as its getting dark and raining..hopefully the car can be start again..coz i hate doing wiring stuff and sucked at it hahaha

in other news,i just find out that i need to custom the original fuel line bolt (like in the pic) to install the fuel regulator..or just buy it from the shop..if they have one la hahaha

farken wire~

sunday, wanna drive the car out but it wont start...only to find out the wire inside the fender was torn up...isk...the cable tie must be snap or something...urgh!

thats not it...

so i try changing the igniter...still the same huhu..next up diagnose time!

freedom crew Burn Lancer and may A31 spotted...

back up have arrived..

trying to solve the engine problem again....

got this 2nd hand Denso Iridium Spark Plugs...thanks to Za

also i went to Ampang to borrow this..

ooo its look like The Factory Joker have a secret...

this actually came along when Aim bought it..no wonder the ECU got unstable revving hehe....too bad there is no capable tuner for F-con here in boleh land...

so i change the plug and put in Aim ECU...at first it started running okay..then after a few minute,it happen again...1 or 2 piston isnt working correctly...so i suspected it wasn't the ECU problem...but the check light warning appeared...isk

i met a dead end for today..called a few 1jz owners,and ask them about their opinion and they suggested,try changing the igniter first..and if that didn't work..i might have to sent it for a check up using a diagnose machine..so tomorrow i will borrow the igniter from Aim..till then....huhuhu

aaaaa not again...

the "boxer" engine symptoms return.. one or two piston is not running...also spotted some spark on the no 3 coil pack,leak maybe?? i switch the coil pack up,still the same...also i took out the ECU and change one of the capacitor that i bought before..haven't got a chance to test it up..been busy with working and its been raining almost every evening...

fucking thives strike twice in one day!

first case
while i was attending a course at my office..i got a call from my dad around 3p.m asking me if i forgot to lock the car door ....and the rear boot was opened..then he told me my rear window was smashed...i knew something was wrong...so i rushed home to this...

if only the faggots know how hard to find this window!!

look like the asshole seem to be on the rush coz they only manage to take my apexi EL boost meter and the trd gear knob..luckily radio, pen timer,air filter,works fuel regulator set (haven't installed yet) and battery(they already pull the negative wire out) was still there....im also thankful the ECU and the wiring was unharmed..although it was moved from the original position...its quite bold of those motherfucker stealing things on the raining daylight..the funny thing is the idiot cut the boost meter wiring too short,how supposed the connect the light?bastard retarded!!hahaha.....

so i parked the car inside my house garage..took out all the stuff mention above..temporarily put a plastic to cover the broken window...good thing i still have a spare set of door around..the only problem its not cromax...will change it this saturday,and move the car to my other house in KL..isk..i was thinking of bringing it over after i fix the turbo....oh well before bad come to worst and if the pussy bitch decided to come for round two,i better move it...

second case

last week,Ipin sent his ke70 for a bodywork job in Klang,this morning he got a called from his brother saying his Ssr mesh wheels was stolen!!!fuck!!!in the same day..

i really-really hope the fucking thieves died in a terrible accident!!and their soul rot in hell!!

DIY ECU Aftermath..

here is the f*ck up capacitor that been making the engine gone insane..

the red circle is the new replaced capacitor and see the rusted board due to the fried capacitor (yellow arrow)

my dad didn't manage to find a replacement for this 15uF 35v capacitor..so he said to just use it first,if still a problem with the ECU,then we will know the source of it..by the way i found out that there a company called RS-Component Malaysia,located in Shah Alam have the exact capacitor that im looking for..thanks to "Google" hahaha...will gave them a call on Monday..

also bought a spare capacitor just in case hehe..

so i went home,connect the wiring,and crank it up...nothing..connect the cable and jump the battery..still nothing..replaced thebattery with the other set...and with just one crank the engine started!!the old battery was dead..

Ipin and i noticed the engine idling is lower than before...around 500rpm,so we adjust it a little higher and we go for a run around the place just to check if the problem is still there...

after of almost an hour of smooth driving,we concluded that the ECU is fixed!haha no more jerking,no more flooded spark plug hahaha

unlike before, i hate driving with the a/c on becoz the idling is quite high,even after we adjust it,now its just comforting hehe...damn,capacitor really play an important roll on the engine behaviour...

many-many thanks to my dad,who repaired the ECU with the cheapest cost ever!

next up oil change,new spark plug and the most important....servicing the twin turbo...

heavy smoke like the car is on fire...errr i cant drive like this

also i need to replaced my dad battery,coz i took it out from his car hahaha..

will Fix it..

the bad news,here is my fucked up ECU..

to have someone that is capable of repairing electronic things in the family is always a good news(it can saved alot of money as well)..my dad,he used to be an electric technician..so changing a few fried capacitor,isn't too much a problem for him..plus he will checked all the capacitor to make sure everything is okay...

here is a good link on what capacitor that need to be changed..u can even DIY hahaha

http://www.toymods.org.au/forums/showthread.php?t=23160

hopefully it can be done by next week..insyallah

i miss driving the car already huhu

shit just got worst everytime...

on fine Sunday afternoon, i decided to sent the car to the workshop to install the fuel regulator and internal fuel pump..at first everything alright...then it breakdown in the middle of the highway...

waiting for the tow truck to come..

i was escorted by the freedoms crew (lan n Ipin) and Ajis (Ipin older bro) with his bosuzoku Bmw..

30 minute later the tow truck come,lan helping me with the loading and were off to setapak..

thanks to Bob towing service and rm170 flew away from my pocket hahaha?...

upon arrival,Shahrul (the mechanic) remove the tank and the external fuel pump..

my bosch external fuel pump,still can be used...will keep it just in-case if i decided to use a surge tank..

i also in need of the digital float..(*that is the stock float in the pic..currently still searching for the digital one huhu).since i dont know how much fuel left in my tank..

we supposed to install the works fuel regulator as well but we got the wrong set of adapter...

upon starting the car,the problem of overflowing fuel on injector 3 & 5 happen again.. the engine combustion isn't nice till the exhaust squirting unburnt fuel through the smoke.. shahrul begin diagnosis all the possibilities like the coil pack, injector, spark plug, fuel line and he even done the compression test (all in good condition)...he conclude that the problem might be the faulty ECU.. luckily Koopang was around with his car, so i borrow his car ECU and put it into mine and it work just fine..*sigh....another parts that need to be replace,aside from the turbo...

i also test Aim spare ECU,called The Factory Jokers..its kinda special becoz the ECU got some external black box and it have been tuned by the japanese for track used (there was a sticker saying it so)..the noticeable different reaction when the engine start is the idling, revving automatically when up and down from 1000rpm till 1500rpm (like it got a high-cam) but once i step on the gas pedal the revving easily reaching 5500rpm,very light...

but it was nothing like that when on Aim car,the idling maintain at 3000rpm and when we installed it to koopang car the idling set nicely at 500rpm... so i assumed that the ECU characteristic/reaction is totally different on other cars...

the time was already 11.30p.m, im getting tired so i install back my faulty ECU and went back home...just when im reaching home,the car when into another breakdown.....causing it to be tow once again....twice in one day....i should have borrow Aim ECU that time..

arrived home around 12.30a.m,unloading the car,park it at the usual spot,lock the door and i didnt even bother thinking about it.sooo sleepy..go for a drink with lan and ipin...and went straight to bed... still have to work the next day...

also

the gtr fiber lips got damage during towing..but nothing that couldn't be fixed hehe..Bob the tow truck guy said that he have towed several X8 but none of it is slammed like this....hahaha i guess i take it as compliment...

so at the moment i will put on hold all Jyu progress,becoz i ran out of my budget,(repairing the ECU and turbo will definitely not cheap), im currently busy with worked, and next week im starting my job on a new work place...huhuhu its pretty messed up right now...sigh...

A nice hot day but....

im still awaiting for the 1jz internal fuel pump and the fuel regulator...have to wait until this sunday to install it...
and the worst thing happen...one of the turbo dies...continues white smoke...huhuhu..

Breakdown...

sunday morning...while rushing to Morib Banting for my outstation work,Jyu decided to fail on me,the fuel problem again,this time without any warning the engine just died..i have to wait almost 2 hours before it can be started again..dont want to take any risk,i drove the car back home,and comeback with my honda....(i was only about 30 minute away from the place im heading!!arrgh hahahah)

since im away for a week,will work things out after i get back..oh wait next week is Chinese New Year,shop will be closed..hu hu hu

mysterious symptoms?

sorry for the late update as i am busy with work lately...anyway i came home last week and start the engine,everything was smooth until the minute i wanna turn it off,the engine was jerking,shaking like it wanna fall out,and the smell of petrol everywhere...

At first I suspected a broken spark plug or there is something with the coil pack, open it up, and plug no 3 and 5 was flooded with fuel…changed another set of plug and still the same…then it must be the coil pack,after checking all 6 of it,there seem nothing wrong with it as it was sparking just fine…i got fed up and it was already 2 a.m...i just close the hood and went to bed..

HKS spark plug (or should i say Denso Iridium)

The next morning,I install back the spark plug,connect the coil pack,and start the engine again…to my surprise it was running okay again…weird...and i concluded the cause was maybe due to water from the heavy rain last night,that some how manage to touch with the engine,wiring or socket somehow...hmmm solution?? i need a canvas to cover it up,since my car is park outside...

moving on,

i decided to throw away the front hood "heat cover" as it tend to make my engine dusty...

hopefully,after this will be less dust..
