Hey all, I bought my uzz31 about a month ago and LOVE driving it. Because I'm on P plates, my boyfriend and I put a 2jzge in it. It was quite rough when I bought it (has really bad crazy cracks in the doors, and the bonnet and roof are faded) so I plan on getting it painted, and putting a black interior into it (if I can find one). The only bad thing about my car is the fuel economy, 430ks to a tank.

Woah, thats terrible economy from a 2JZ-GE. I did 300km yesterday and used about 2/5ths of a tank - mostly open road driving at 100+ KM/h of course - and a short stint stuck in rush hour traffic on the motorway, but that should give you an idea where you should be at - and I'm fairly heavy with my right foot, so its not like I'm Mr Economy or anything.

Shannon, I have a 2jz GE, and I do 450 on a tank of Premium ( I have tested it on my car and I do get fuel economy out of it) but thats if I put my foot down, otherwise this week I was driving Conservative and got about 570KM, week before that went on a long trip up north and got 600KM out of it, depends how you drive, But anyways 2jz in a UZ31 shell huh? You got air ride suspension then?

I get 11 litres/100km out of my 1uz. I think that's decent for a v8 and the size and weight of the car. Ends up being about 600kms for 66 litres a tank. My 1jz actually uses more then that.

I get around 600kms from 70 litres with the 1UZ. That's driving mostly around town, and I have a very heavy foot. All freeway driving, I can muster up close to 750kms to nearly a full tank.

My 2JZ uses a lot less fuel than my 1UZ did - it goes further on a smaller tank. Open road driving is very similar, but around town the 2JZ is definitely more frugal.

Probably needs a number of new things - how old is the ECU? The JZZ31 ECU's are all a little newer, and a little less prone to problems (as far as I can tell) than the UZZ3X ECU's. Its more likely to be something simple like a bad O2 sensor.

It didn't have a v8 in it when I bought it. It had a 2jzgte which had a bit of work done to it(which my boyfriend wanted as a spare for his supra). So we just bought a 95 2jzge out of a supra and put that in it.
