hmm i supose i could continuity check that from sensor on enjine to ecu harness for finding the diff between 1zz and my 2zz wiring . although the only resistor i see in that diagram is a 10k for the o2 . do you know off hand what the differences are i may be able to swing this on my own if i start t...

i got a t3 with a .60 a/r and an aem fic , also got a box of 2.5 mandrel bends and a 10ft pipe , plus a box of polished 2.5 aluminum piping/bends couplers ,and some coolfin's to add to the charge pipe . i wolnt need an IC because the pipes are so long . and i had to get an oil scavenging pump to ret...

im instaling the fic because i have a whole turbo kit just waiting to be installed . i dropped over 4k last month on parts and just waiting for the time to get it done . first the fic then the injectors and exhaust then the Rear mount t3 :-) if i was staying N/A i would have just got a camcon and lo...

revstohigh

yea i know i can use it as a stand alone gauge but wouldnt the car run better with the wideband wired in to the aem fic

revstohigh

thanks guys . i cant wait to get the caps on them ! then they will be money ! and i may get diff spacers . i have 15mm on the rear and non up front i may go another 10mm all around , they sit so far in the fenders compared to other cars . esp in the back . handles so much better now too with the 235...

revstohigh

Got the wheels on . the lugnuts are to long for the caps to fit , ordered low profile nuts so caps should be on in next week or so http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/2012-12-20_15-07-36_180_zps054e6da1.jpg http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/2012-12-20_15-07-44_133_z...

revstohigh

on a side not i also have the aem wideband . how would i wire that in to a plug and play ?
can i use the wideband and the narrow band together

revstohigh

oh wow i think ill deff need a plug and play harness , to someone color blind that pic is soooooooo much more intimidating ! any help i could use kinda has to be in person cause im not capable of distinguishing the colors of 95% of those wires i basically see one shade of 5 or 6 basic colors . this ...

revstohigh

i have hadgood luck with pace setter on many cars over the years . always thought they were great for the money , but that black coating burns off first day no matter how you try to bake it . lol

revstohigh

oh wow i didnt even notice that lol

revstohigh

noise fixed ! The front Trans mount came loose gave it 1 1/2 turns and it stopped

revstohigh

looks like ill be ordering the plug n play harness lol

revstohigh

hey guys toke the vibe out for a spin the other day and noticed a disturbing noise its an 03 gt . when im in a low gear first or 2nd i get a terrible groaning noise followed by a thunk everytime i take my foot on or off the gas . has to be a higher tq situation seems to do it mostly when starting fr...

revstohigh

thanks i wanted a full kit but spent all my cash on the turbo/engine managment so i figured i would make the best of some cheap universal stuff i plan to cut/mesh the rear bumper soon to kinda like the GTR has

revstohigh

Thanks guys ! i droped them off at the tire shop to get mounted/ballanced will install as soon as centric rings arive . car was and photo shoot soon to come lol

revstohigh

i got the cf vent covers and the cf lock button covers from them . they have good product

revstohigh

i have been thinking about tinting it , but i suck at tinting , and hate to pay for automotive services (i was a mechanic for 11 yrs) i have been wanting to change the lights a bit but no one seems to make anything like projectors or alteza style as for future mods..... i have all the following part...

revstohigh

thanks ! that is the stock manifold . its an 03 gt thats how they come . i did clean it up a bit though

revstohigh

it will look pretty much the same when the turbo goes on , cause its a rear mount set up

revstohigh

cut out the the cover so i could see that pretty valve cover that i painted . also painted the fan shroud to get rid of the off white... the color cream should never be under a hood ! http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/2012-12-13_15-25-31_297.jpg http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/u...

Dvibe i mailed out the knob a few days ago , should arive soon . sorry Brandort i am not real set up to take mobile vid at the moment , but i assure you its worth the $160 and 2 hours it takes to install . only drawback is its a little harder to get in first when the trans is cold but ill fix that w...

revstohigh

Yup i had to all my grey was soooo faded i couldnt stand to look at it any longer . and i figured if i was goina spruce it up may as well go salsa ! i assume you have the as seen on tv stuff on yours cause its a nice rich wet looking grey rather than the pail sun baked rubbermade looking clading min...

revstohigh

haha Barber with all the cargo room in the back ill never need the racks , and plan on removing the cross bars very soon . i love the look of the rack from the side but from the front it just looks like i have 3 roof spoilers now lol Mac99d im working on taking more pics but waiting till the wheels ...

revstohigh

thanks Natevaz22 i almost went with a silver lip but im glad i went with salsa red ! The emblems were on ebay they come in 60mm or 65mm 2 diff but nice designs 65 is pictured i used regular primer because i didn't sand it all the way to the alluminum and then used duplicolor grafite with duplicolor ...

revstohigh

got some universal canards on ebay $40 bucks

revstohigh

these were $150 each on ebay came in grey primer http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/2012-12-13_15-23-19_15.jpg A few tips . the install kit comes with plastic strips with little nipples to drill through . the fit very tight so trim them and file out the hole on spoiler a bit . also ...

17x7 ASA by tsw JS1'S $200 on craigslist with 2 brand new tires when i got them w 2225 50 17 on them http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/3Fc3pb3Hb5Eb5S35J7cb5cc3f4ae2cf49164c.jpg 3 days later and $25 in supplies ..... http://i640.photobucket.com/albums/uu124/travisings/2012-12-13_16-...

revstohigh

sorry Barber DVibe beat ya to it lol

revstohigh

mad trip : the shifter was $160 plus shipping and the boot and knob were about $40 all together

dvibe : i have no plans for the oem knob since i cant put it back on even if i wanted to lol

revstohigh

I have yet to install the unit yet . I am very tech savy , but have limited wiring knowledge due to the fact that i am color blind . i know they have a plug and play adapter for the 2zz but its $300 so if possible myself and a buddy who can see color are going to install it . my question is does any...

revstohigh

lol im thrifty man im looking for wheels and tires for 3-400 total . which is why im going the used route lol . but if i dont find a good deal in next few months i may get the momo Drone Anthracite im in love with these wheels http://www.ebay.com/itm/MOMO-Car-Wheel-Rim-Drone-Anthracite-17-x-7-5-inch...

revstohigh

yes deff get the motor mount inserts . and for cars this size 29 psi is a pretty good start for front tires any lower and the center wolnt contact well enough . i wouldnt raise the rear cause technically you want the front high and back low for a good launch . its all about getting the rear to squat...

revstohigh

i just put some on a maxima that im selling and they suck ... i will never use this brand again . they are way to soft and through the range of travel they intermitantly have dead spots where you can move it for an inch or so with no resistance . the seals are not good enough stick . with tokico, ky...

revstohigh

rather than remove the front bar i would be inclined to shave the corners of the bars . this is an old school way but it does work . most front drive cars respond quite well to a big rear and a slightly smaller bar on front .alot of the honda guys for instance would run an si or aftermarket rear bar...

revstohigh

when i worked at the toyota dealership back in like 03 all the techs had the same spring loaded 2 jaw type .snap on sels a nice one . if your not sure which kind i mean i can take a pic of mine

revstohigh

Oh P.S. its quite a bit easier to stay in valve lift now with this shifter cause the rpms don't have as much time to drop now . that is if your left foot is as fast as your right hand is lol

revstohigh

glad i could inspire ! good luck as far as tires go barber ive been keeping an eye out for a set of used rims and tires w 80%ish tread on Craigslist . it so much cheaper that way save $100-$150 at least in shipping . i just havn't seen a set that i really liked yet that were the right size and offse...

revstohigh

yea seriously traction is an issue for me ! i'm pretty set on a 235/45/17 cause when i upgrade i like to do it once and done i just wanna get the widest offset/width combo that woln't rub in the front right now any kind of really tight turns causes me to spin just one wheel . eventually ill get the ...

revstohigh

nice ! mine sits almost an inch higher than sig pic now that i got the ST and tokico combo . so i should be fine with a 17x7.5 + 35 in front seeing your x8 +35 with a slightly larger diameter tire only rubbed a little maybe i will even throw a 15mm spacer in back to boot all i know is these 16x6.5's...

revstohigh

at first this one was really notchy but after the new boot and knob its perfect ! by the way nice vibe . i like the wheels . what with and offset are you running ? im curious as to what will fit i was thinking 17x7.5 w a 30-35 offset and 235/45/17 i deff want the stance wider but don't wanna tub it ...

revstohigh

im not sure barber i have only been up on vibes for a few months . could be the same one .if discontinued mwr may have ourchased the design, all i know is this thing makes driving like 20% more fun i was mostly a rwd guy up till recently . my other car is a supercharged mk3 supra ive had it since 1999

revstohigh

ps. rather than break out the leather needle and thimble to stitch the oem ring at the base of the boot i opted for epoxy ! seriously i had my doubts to lol but with a few clamps and some 2 part epoxy i did it one side at a time . you have to stretch it just a little put a bead of epoxy and fold it ...

revstohigh

Update !!!!!! the ridiculous stiffness is fixed . it is no longer difficult to get into gear anymore this thing is like butter ! it was initially very hard to get into first and reverse . i replaced the boot and knob and it was instantly free as a bird . it turns out the stock boot and knob cant han...

revstohigh

Not sure the manufacturer but for a car at stock height i highly suggest the KYB for the $ ive had them on many cars in the past .

revstohigh

yup tightens up the whole thing . there is less than a 1/8 inch free play in any direction . and the spring is very strong . there is a very positive click when going into each gear . also from N its a little easier to find the gears on demand . but be warned the shifter is so short its easy to forg...

revstohigh

I have the Tokico's and they are great very firm . i can rip it up even on bumpy PA back roads

revstohigh

its about 4100 at 90 mph in 6th so x by 2 180 mph on paper anyway
