    security lights turns on when lights are on..

    this happened after doing an LED conversion in the cluster and I only noticed it coming on dimly when I turn on the parking lights/headlights. is it possible that it is light from the LED's somehow illuminating it (possibly from improper re-installation on my part)? or, is there another reason...

    JIC Japan bankrupt (semi old news)..

    I was gonna post this a while back (mid march) and ended up PM'ing SupraCentral about the matter.. but at the time there was no real official word and there still isn't an official announcement AFAIK most likely because JIC USA is continuing operations or something of that nature (all...

    RPM gauge issue (I'd appreciate your opinion).

    Alrighty. So, first of all I have searched and tried just about all available options to fix my issue.. However, even though something of this nature usually seems (taken from my research) to be simple wiring issue, it would seem that the problem I have had is not after trial and error. When...

    MK3 @ Tokyo Auto Salon..

    thought that perhaps some of you would be interested in this: http://www.flickr.com/photos/rhdjapan/4275774361/in/set-72157623218078536/ I'm not a fan of some of the stuff, but I still enjoy seeing it represented and such.

    Coilover shock eye bushings..

    I bought a set of Kei Office coilovers in good condition from a friend with the only real issue being two cracked bushings for the front end units. Anyhow, I was thinking it would not be that big of a deal to find suitable replacements from a company such as energy suspension. However, I may...

    issues running GC

    this oil is amazing, however in my car I have noticed that at idle I am getting a decent amount of rattle from the head. so my question for the wiser (JDub etc.) is what oil should I run to minimize this? [I'm pretty sure its not the heat, rather just out of spec.] I have been...

    crank pulley question..

    I've been reading on these "upgraded crank pulleys" and while it is interesting and sounds enticing I was thinking that perhaps theres a downside.. I actually spoke to someone selling them and they were very informative however even they admitted that out of 20 ppl half will say one thing, the...

    filter relocation on a 1J..

    I did a search and learned a few things but I specifically was after if any of you had installed one.. The stock location annoys me slightly and I'd like to move it up to an easy access. Pros, cons? I am assuming its all pros, however I'm searching the facts. pictures and/or experience are...

    you guys see the top secret supra on ebay?

    thought it was pretty cool just passing through the pages to see the GT-300 is once again for sale.. might be repost but anyways. LINK

    are these two bushings important?

    saw these in another thread, but my tranny didnt come with them.. I still installed my C's STS in spite of this, but will it cause any damage from not having it? they look to be just for dampening. I dont see how they could relate to anything wearing out. especially when looking at my C's...

    map sensor wiring (urgent)

    hey guys were trying desperately to finish my car but one thing is standing in the way and it rather minor. now I'm pretty proficient at searching, but perhaps this time I've just overlooked something obvious in my haste. so here it is: I need for A JZA70 (not soarer or chaser) the...

    last set of questions.

    These are in regards to my swap and some of my last minute details.. 1) we were planning on mounting the power steering cooler behind the FMIC, would this still provide the adequate efficiency needed to ease the stress on the pump? I am still unsure just how much of a cooling effect is needed...

    Downpipe question guys..

    okay this is pretty general, but I'm sure you all will pick up on this pretty quick.. simply put, where in the hell does that ring thats equipped on some downpipes (Ie. Trust, RSR, maybe others) bolt to? its just a standard metal band of decent thickness with one hole in either side for a bolt...

    Hows the oil pickup on these motors?..

    my pan appears to be slightly dented from transport and my mechanic said he thought the pickup in the 1J was high enough for the motor to be unaffected, unlike say an SR where its certain death in most cases. advise?

    bellhousing question

    my motor was originally automatic and I converted it to manual before swapping it in.. anyhow, theres this opening (I think there's more than one but for now just this one) at the front of where the bell mounts to the motor on the bottom side and I'm sure there's supposed to be a dust cover...

    hey fellas, any ideas on..

    what this guy used for these circular pieces he has inserted into the bumper.. I remember reading that it maybe as simple as some certain connectors as home depot, but I'm not sure. Memory aludes me.. I just figure thats a cheap, not that bad looking way to get more air to the I/C without...

    TT-R seats question..

    I tried asking this before but never truly got a straight answer.. but I know a few of you in here have the TTR seats with the factory rails. As for mine they didnt come with the rails, my question is can I modify the stock powered rails to use them? Or, would that somehow position them too...

    First start and test drive questions!!

    Alright my swap is finally nearing its end and is almost road worthy.. Questions are this: I have a Trust 3" DP, Blitz Nur Spec, FMIC w/ 2.5" piping, intake as well. These things will be installed right off the bat when the car is being swapped. But I also have: jdm 440cc injectors, an...

    Last minute questions..

    By doing the 440's rather than the stock 370's, should I have the 440's cleaned and flow tested? I'm getting them from a friend that says they are like new, however who knows if thats the truth. I'm rather new to this area of things, well injector wise and was wondering how important that...
