^oh? Got some tuning in already?

The only tuning done thus far is the low throttle / startup stuff that was done at DB post intake install. But working on lining up some WOT stuff.

Doing some ricer lighting mods.

Got the spoiler LED brake light working.

Installed the 4300k HID kit I had laying around since removing it from my Envoy.


Bought some LED's off ebay. White LED's in the license plate area as well as the headlight city lights. They look more blue to me than I would have light, was going for more just pure white. But whatever, looks better than the dull standard bulbs. Also purchased Yellow LED's for the turning lights. I have the blinkders on in the pics so it would turn on and you can see how it looks. They actually look fairly amber in real life which was another disappointment as I was hoping for straight yellow. Looks more yellow in the pics than they do in real life. But whatever, it'll work. I will be rewiring them however so that they just turn on with the parking lights.

That sucks about the calipers. I suppose having the dual piston caliper means you have fluid running around each outer edge. I remember clearancing the hell out of my 2-piston front calipers to run 16's, but of course there's no fluid lines to hit on them.

Long time no update. Hasn't been much to update anyway. But did do some small stuff.

First, I feel like the sound quality coming from the China head unit left a bit to be desired. The aux input plug was becoming intermittent, and the bluetooth streaming was just horrendous, it's like it only streamed treble. So, I picked up a new Sony unit off Amazon for $150. It doesn't have GPS but I never really used that anyway, just use my phone. It does do DVD though, has aux in, USB in, and bluetooth which included a mic. So that is installed, and man everything sounds so much better. So if anyone wants a china unit, I have one up for bid lol.

Also, I had my twin 255's installed but still on stock wiring. So I picked up some relays and did a rewire. I bought a bulkhead stud connector off Summit that seems to work good for passing the power through the tank lid rather than connecting it back to the stock small wiring for passing through that which seems kind of like a waste to go through all that just to have it connect back down to a tiny wire at the end. Can immediately tell they are louder than they used to be. I mounted both relays so I'd have an installed spare in case the one dies. I've never had one die on me before but I've read several stories of relay failures so I figured for how cheap they are why not have one in there ready to rock just in case.

I also did an oil change with some Pennzoil Platinum and a Wix filter. I will be changing out the tranny fluid with some Redline MT-85, then putting some Amsoil in the diff. At that point, take it on a few test drives and then I'll be shipping the car off to Jordan in Florida. Jordan has his own little company called Powersquirt. He's basically a Megasquirt power user, and his specific area of expertise is on 2JZ applications. He has an SC300 himself. He works closely with the developers of MS / TunerStudio. Basically he's the fuckin man when it comes to 2JZ and Megasquirt. He's the one who has been helping me from the very beginning. So none-the-less, I'm going to send the car to him to get tuned, and get any other bugs worked out like the Crank/cam signal noise that keeps popping up. He's doing it all for free, except I'll be paying out the ass to get it shipped.

That's about it for now!
