i bought the car when i turned 18, 25 now... what exactly you want to know about the car? i bought all the parts from the US, shitload of money has been put on this car... now its running super lean and blowing smoke from the exhaust.. knock sensor threw a code first days driving it after the "rebuild".. before knock sensor threw the code, car was boosting 0.6 bar (heard detonation).. now its safe mode, removed the spark plugs and they have an orangish color(LEAN) This is my second engine (3rd time trying to make it work properly) first engine died.. i ordered an engine from canada (compression tested) i spun its bearings the second day i had it installed due to oil pump failure,.. took the engine to a mechanic had him replaced the crankshaft and bearings from a used engine he had.. new oem headgaskets , didnt put new piston rings.. used my old ones(compression tested).. I have two major problems now: white smoke from the exhaust(friend over-filled oil by 1kilo) drained it and changed the oil,still smokin... secong problem is LEAN mixture, i have stock injectors and stock engine except for the bigger 2.5" intercooler pipes and intercoolers and ams exhaust manifolds(are they a possible reason why im running lean) running on Specialty z eprom(Stage 3 chip) A lot of hard work on this Z... Lot of time aswell, makes me think that i should've dropped a JZ from the begining.. its like all the time and money i have put on this car is going to waste, if i had dropped a JZ my head and heart would have thanked me. Other than that the car has all its parts cleaned and fitted from gearbox to engine etc... on a side note: On safe boost and retarded timing, the power is spectacular !
