SupraRider

Hi guys, I'm deciding to choose a bodykit for my car. I've had a great liking for this new JDL bodykit for JZA80, has anybody seen it for real on a supra? also,what about the vader bodykit? heard that is quite common. does anybody have any preference on what they like? I prefer a bodykit that resembles some 'class' on a supra as suppose to being a 'boy racer' car if you know what I mean. any suggestions?

thanks mate, so where would you say you recommend? I can't really afford to splash all out spending crazy money on kits. I reside in West Lothian. what about you?

Hi guys, have a question for you: I own a J-spec pre facelift NA, because the headlights are plastic, I found moisture and fogging on one of the front headlights. can anybody advise me on how to remove the headlights and clean it up?

Hi guys, I'm trying to source a full bodykit for my j-spec NA, came across this website on google, seemed like a reputable company to buy from. http://www.madmotors.co.uk , does anybody have experience buying anything from them? They seemed to be offering fairly reasonable priced bodykits that will fit my budget.

Hi people, have two questions, my car is a non turbo, automatic, jap import. on the gearbox, there is a red button that has got japanese writing on it. what does that button do? also it has a manual ECT push button as well to engage into manual mode, how does that work since there are no gears to shift?

hi people, sorry it took so long to reply, yea we're all gonna be dead before toyota works out what wrong with my car. but hey good news, got the car back last week. the fault arises with that piggy back ECU, so they took it out and fitted back my default stock ECU. so now my car runs with only one ECU. thanks for all the help and advice, appreciate it. I better go buy breakdown cover just in case...lol. now that my car is fine, I'm thinking about giving it some added performance. but I'm not intending on splashing out money for this cos Im not planning to race anyway, just daily driving, and overtaking sunday drivers.. u get the picture. So what would you all recommend me do? I dont want any engine mods. I thought about a full exhaust plus air induction kit to boost a lil bhp? then go save some money to buy a bodykit to fit. what do u guys think? look fwd to your replies.

okay, lets figure this out again, engine indicator light came on, checked into toyota, diagnosed as code error 24 on air intake sensor. toyota replaced it, next day whilst driving home, engine cut out totally at traffic lights while engine on idle (this happened when I inserted the stereo headunit on), car wont start (but I had the headunit weeks before and it never happened, I had the car installed with Toad alarm/immobiliser as well) brought into toyota. never had this problem before only after they replaced the sensor. electrician couldn't find out the fault,they thought it could be a miswiring on the alarm or the stereo, but it wasn't. so then they strip to find 2 ECUs,we know its a stock and piggyback ECU. what if they can't find the fault from here? what else can they do? any expert advice? I just want my car fixed. bought this car in november and didn't get to enjoy it at all!

thanks guys, I'll get to the garage when they are open in the new year for the brand and make of piggyback ECU. oh does anybody know a reputable tuner located in west lothian, scotland? and approximately, how much would they charge to have it removed or solve this engine issue?

Hi guys, thank you for all your advice, latest news from toyota confirmed a piggy back ECU was found in my Supra. (as suspected from yourselves). do u think that might be the problem to the engine cutting out altogether? as well as having the sensor fault on the air intake? what would u advice? removing piggy back ECU completely? or what? if removed, will that solve the problem? please let me know asap..thank u.

As for the 2 ECUs in my Supra, does that mean this car was previously modified? or does it come standard since its jap import? does having 2 ECUs make the car perform better? Also, do you need me to take some pictures? let me know. Thank you for your help so far. I look forward to your reply soon.

Thanks guys, what bout the engine cutting out altogether? as mentioned previously,I bought this supra from a dealer, ever since it gave me problems, there was a code 24 fault on the air intake sensor that caused the engine indicator light on. got the sensor replaced by toyota dealership, the next day driving home as normal, the engine cut out altogether whilst waiting on traffic lights, the car had to be recovered. brought the car into toyota and its been there since. they couldn't find out what caused the engine to cut out. please advise..

Hi people, I need some help. I bought this supra from a dealer, ever since it gave me problems, there was a code fault on the air intake sensor that caused the engine indicator light on. got it fixed by toyota dealership, the next day driving home as normal, the engine cut out altogether whilst waiting on traffic lights, the car had to be recovered. brought the car into toyota and its been there since.their electrician was trying to diagnose the problem, then it found that my car has got 2 ECUs! can somebody explain to me why it has got 2 ECUs? is it to improve performance? also can somebody help me find out why the engine just cut out altogether? my car is an auto, jap import, non-turbo. the rev/min dial is still in km, not converted at all. pls help...I cant even get to enjoy driving my car since I bought the vehicle.

Thanks for writing back. tried google it but cant find any specific website for it. do u have any info that will help i.e. website address or contact information?are they also based in the uk? look forward to your reply.

Hi All, Ive just recently bought a supra JZ from a dealer, found out that the spoiler was not an original fit to the car. As such, the trunk struts are not able to support the weight of the spoiler. Can anybody tell me where I can get heavy duty trunk struts for the supra? otherwise I might have to strip the spoiler off which I dont wanna. Advise please. All help is appreciated.
