Supra Steve 856

Hi Everyone, Right, i need to relocate my Transmission Fluid Cooling, i have just got a new radiator (old one broke) and this new one is an alloy one an so it doesnt come with the Transmission Fluid Cooling, i dont do track days or anything like that, i may give it a bit of a blast down the road now an then but thats about it, the car is running about 480bhp at the moment with the other mods done, but rarely get to use that power lol. what i need is all the basic info on what parts i should get to cool the fluid and how it should be set up and fitted, cheeply lol as money is abit hard right now, but i just want to get the thing back up and running again! it doesnt need to be race performance parts, i just need it so it dont fry my gearbox, basically as good as or abit better than stock cooling. i have read some posts on here but they are all about race or track setup, i just want a normal and functioning setup for day to day use. i hope you can help me! thanks, steve

Yeh i found it really usefull, its got pretty much everything on there, so i downloaded the whole lot for an future work too, very helpfull, thanks... does anyone know where i can get the core plugs from now? thanks guys!

WOW!!! hey that is exactly what i needed!! there is complete instructions on how to remove them, and properly!! Thankyou merckx, thats really helped! all i need now is to find a place where i can get the core plugs from!

Hi guys, thanks for your responses, trouble is im going to have to do the work with the engine in the car, i dont have the money or tools to take the engine out unfortunately well im going to start work on it today, i think im going to try get to them from the top, so i gotta take the turbos off! dont have a clue how to, so if anybody can give me some advice there that would also be cool lol thanks guys!

Hi everyone, I need help! i have a TT Jap import Auto, and i have a core plug with a hole in it its located under the turbos and is the closest one to the bulkhead, how dificult is this to change and can anyone tell me what to expect? i have experience on working on cars (stripping engines, and putting back together etc) and so im going to attempt to fix this myself... though if anyone can give me some tips, or hints on any problems im likely to encounter that would be great! also how hard are the core plugs to fit? and where can i get them from?? i hope someone can help me with this! thanks in advance, Steve.

Ello Nic Bout time ya finaly got ere Guys u have no idea how much i have nagged nic to join up, everytime he gets a prob wiv his car i say u can find an answer on the owners club, every single thing that ive needed help with ive got the answer here!! nic, welcome to the place, probs see you 2nyt

Yep! that will be me I was on the phone (aint i a good boy, pulled over to take a call), i was just on my way home from work! Thanks for the compliment, im guessing my damaged front end dont show up too much then, well it will be fixed in time for the next season of shows, hopefully with a few more bits on it too

Thanks for the tip, At the moment ive tryed a fix using filberglass, i have made a patch that surounds the whole top of the rad where it has split, to reinforce the top of the rad, i found the presure was building up SO much it was just blowin off all other attempts... This kind of fix only lasts a month or two, as the water seeps out under the fiberglass, and i think this last time i have done this has now made it impossible to fix again as the surface is too damaged now for a bond. So its new rad time!! once it goes thats it, u wont fix it for long if you do manage it lol So if anyone can offer me a good deal on a new one then i got the money now to pay for it (as long as its not toooo much lol) Steve

I give you £70 for them and i can collect them whenever you like, even this weekend if you like?

Hi Guys, Do any of you have a set of Glass headlights for sale?? I recently had a front end smash and my old jspec (plastic) ones got smashed, i always said to myself if the got damaged i would replace them with the glass set. Does anyone have some for sale and if so how much?? Thanks, steve

Hi guys, I have a jspec 1995 TT Auto and my rad has split on the plastic at the top by the filler cap, im after a straight swap replacement, i live in essex, i have the money waiting and if not to far am willing to drive and pick it up! It needs to be in good condition, as the last thing i want is for it to blow again 6 months down the line lol. Does anyone have one i can buy asap?? Steve

Hi Guys an Gals, Has anyone got a Stock Radiator for sale?? I have a MKIV Supra TT Auto (J-Spec), and well the top of my rad has split open! and so i need another one soon as pos, short on cash tho so im hoping its not gonna cost too much!! Ive looked at the prices of new Upgraded ones an the price is way too much for me right now so a Stock will have to do. Anyone out there that can help me? Thanks in advance! Steve.

i thought i did! unpluged it pluged it back in, seemed ok!, but on closer inspection i noticed the connector on 1 of the wires was bent inside the connector, not the easyest to fix trust me!!

hi, i have recently got myself a oil pressure gauge and fitting the dial is not a problem, all i need to know is where is the best place to fit the pressure sender unit, or has the car already got one that i can connect the signal wire to? any thoughts?? if anyone has any pictures to of a fitted sender unit and how they did it that would be cool too, thanks

you would never expect it!! its as simple as this..... its the connector plug that goes into the back of the odo! it has loose and bad contacts, and im guessing this is confuseing the ECU and screwing up the system, but give the connector a wiggle and it fixes the problem! now all i need to do is make these very small connectors inside the block make a better contact without bustin them lol. thanks for your help guys!

have you got a problem with your fuel pump then? i recently had a problem with mine, i dont know if this is relevent to what you want to know, but im gonna tell ya anyway... the car didnt start and kept cutting out, to cut a long story short, it was a connector block in the boot, that goes to the fuel pump, it had bad connection, as simple as that! but completely killed my car from running... it is just in where the spare wheel is (top left hand corner), but the damn thing left me stranded for 6 hours!! dunno if thats got anything to do with your problem but hey!

just so i know for sure, this speed converter is this little bit of circuit board with wires on that is soldered directly onto the back of my speedo??

Where is this sensor located? Apperently the pink wire on the ECU is connected to this and im getting a screwed up signal on this wire and its makeing my autobox do some very odd things! :S

checked. and nope its still doing it, any other ideas???

Or you could just scrap it lol i heard they are cheap motors anyway lol! i got an idea......... dont use the aircon lol is the car silver? i heard the silver ones Always go wrong with them aristo's! get a supra mate!! (hehe ello mate)
