I've used Mike to do some welding on my aluminium radiator a few times before. He's in Aylesbury if that's not too far out. http://mandjwelding.co.uk/

Great work mate! The supercharger is going to sit in there very nicely without having to mess with the bonnet. Hopefully the snout and pulley doesn't let the side down. Coming along nicely

I never knew the 1st 1uz’s had an extra injector. There’s a guy in New Zealand (Kelvin) who knows these #UZ engines inside out. He goes over interchangeable parts, explains bits and how they work. Discovered I have air assisted injectors on mine Regular informative videos on YouTube, CartuneNZ if you fancy. He did the immobiliser bypass for mine. Also looking forward to seeing this running. It’s funny how at car shows when stood nearby to mine, how divided people are when they see a V8 in a Supra. Some love it and are interested to know more, others have faces that screw up like they just tried marmite for the first time

Can tell you are very chuffed, and rightly so! Your power curve looks to come on very early. Don’t have to be wringing it’s neck to get into the power band.

I had to buy facelift rear lower no.2 arms as the pre-facelift simply weren't available. Surely if they were warping discs on the front ones they'd be a recall? Pre-facelift front No.1 lowers are still available (48068-14080) £284 in Japan. As are facelift (48069-14090) £368.

Saw a dark red Supra this morning at about 9am heading east along H3 Monks Way in the north of Milton Keynes. Looked to have wide arches and a Veilside rear wing? For a moment I thought it was mine!

Have mine also. Great work every one!

I do have a spare pair but they have roll cage cutouts in them. I've been holding onto them in the hope I find someone who wants to cut up perfectly good ones for a cage and is willing to swap. My fitted passenger panel has a big crack in it that I'm also trying to source a good replacement for.

It has some club history. I thought James had a Supra with wide Nur arches? Maybe that was another one of his.

Hey Paul. Always enjoy seeing another V8 build

This is another alternative

I know right! Those images were on my phone and I just added them like it was WhatsApp. Much easier interface. Underneath the dash panel the auto lever mechanism is all there still, just the plastics are removed. With the OE knob removed you’re left with the shifter shaft and a threaded rod poking out. My Momo gear knob collar fits around the shaft, and the threaded rod which goes up and down screws into the inside of the knob. My gear knob needed a thread tapping into it then it would screw onto the threaded rod. If you can find a gear knob that is slimmer around the collar then you might be ok with the manual surround. It also prevented going into P I recall now, due to the gaiter getting pinched against the collar and surround. I put some brackets under the gaiter as guards as it also had a habit of getting snagged in the mechanism of the lever. It’s all revertable so can be undone if needed. You’d need to find new homes for the manu button and overdrive button. The shift lock override (red button) can still be pressed through the gaiter. The red button normally presses down on a white paddle which is what will be left behind when the OE shifter knob and plastics are removed. It can be fixed down with a tie which would mean you could move the lever without having to press the brake pedal.

I've used Megazip before and they have been pretty good with replying to questions and adjusting orders. They have a parts number search with helps with chasing bits down. https://www.megazip.net/zapchasti-dlya-avtomobilej/toyota/supra-38377/jza80-55401

I tried with the manual surround and the shift lever would contact when put into the L position. Enough so that it sometimes didn’t engage because the gaiter and gear knob collar were fouling. So I fixed a BMW (I think) gaiter onto the auto surround and it all moves freely. I don’t need the manu button due to having a stand-alone gearbox ecu so that was a switch that didn’t need relocating, or the overdrive button. The gear lever is a push down and move now, instead of a button press.

Looking at the part diagrams, there appears to be a difference in the offset position of the water neck. But that's only going by a part diagrams. Japan to the left, US to the right..

That'll be the heater core that likes to leak all over the ECU when it fails? Nice discovery Seems to be sold out currently: https://thebrassworks.net/collections/heater-cores/products/199-998-toyota-supra-heater-core Europe and Japan use part number: 87107-14190 N. America use part number: 87107-14200 Not sure if they are one and the same?..

[quote name='J-Meiser']I'm glad that Chuck managed to get you sorted - was it much trouble? [/QUOTE] He's really good to work with. I bought another VVTi manifold for him to modify in Canada, and gave him measurements of my supercharger mount holes for the bolts to confirm data he already had. He also recommended the water/meth approach. My brother who was living in Canada at the time received it in the local post and brought it to the UK in his carry-on suitcase :D Here's a link to bits I was looking into. Water/meth [url]https://www.snowperformance.eu/en/water-injection/boost-cooler/turbo-gasoline[/url]

Nicely done! :thumbs: Glad you found a fix for the ageing Supra tech :)

[ATTACH]525675[/ATTACH] The tacho I have is for an auto. Is that ok?

When I get home I’ll dig it out for you. I bought it as a spare from Keron when my own tacho needed modifying for V8 pulses. Sounds like you’re already on it with the circuit checks :)

Pretty sure I’ve got a spare. Have you checked the electrical connections at the back of the tachometer are all ok? Maybe even along the circuit as I saw not long ago someone’s had lifted and broke in the flexible plastic.

Great to see you moving forward with this Jay! I've been sitting on one of Chuck's shortened manifolds for years but mine is for a VVTi motor so wouldn't fit your 1UZ. Bonnet clearance is a problem, and the inline Bullet intercooler which I'm told is 30mm thick would send the blower through the bonnet when it's all stacked together. Water/meth looks to be the cooling approach if an intercooler can't be used. I have a GT500 M122 if you fancy some more fitment tests ;)
