Technically there's three

No tax or MOT but, I think that can be overlooked http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Kyosho-1-43-scale-Nissan-Skyline-2000-GT-R-White-KPGC10-GTR-Discontinued-/160955418494?pt=Diecast_Vehicles&hash=item2579b0c77e The only other car I'd have (other than a supra)

Following this schematic: http://homepage.ntlworld.com/peter.betts/supra/TechTips/dsc_speedo_mph.jpg Should the blue (red stripe) wire in image 1 be connected to the same wire in image 2? Connecting the blue and white plugs?

Any idea what the black wires are that go through the bulb holes Logie? Edit: just had message through from previous owner, apparently it's a switch to change the dash colours, so I imagine he's got different bulbs in the clocks. Will take them apart tomorrow and see if I can out it back to standard.

The black box in image 4 in my first post, I'm guessing is the speedo converter? What's the black box in image 5?

Thanks guys, looking forward to getting stuck in. My friend who lives down the road, now owns Jamie P's "Black Duk" so I've got a bit of competition lol

Great build so far Andrew! Similar route that I want to go down, so will be keeping an eye on this.

Over the moon to finally be able to say, I own a supra :yahoo: On Saturday i went down to Canvey Island to meet Dave, and his car he had for sale. A deal was made, and she was all mine! Mechanically I can't fault her, other than needing a new front disc, and a hanger re-welding on the exhaust. Inside looks to be pretty good, centre console, gaiters etc look a little tired, but the rear bench and front Uk leather seats are in great condition. There's a few minor electrical issues, odo doesn't work and the instrument cluster doesn't light up, but I'm hoping they are fairly simple fixes. Tonight I pulled the centre panels and cluster out, to start peeling off what was left of black plasti-dip, in order to tidy it up and paint it. It also gave me a chance to see what the wiring was like behind, and tbh it looks pretty shoddy. I found the 'how to' speedo converter thread so I'll have a read through that, see if everything has been done correctly. If it has, I'll re do the connections with solder and heat shrink, if not I'll start again. Few pics of what I found: Hopefully it's not too bad a mess and I can sort it. I haven't taken any pics of the car yet, but there are a few on the sale ad: http://mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?310238-Toyota-Supra-3-litre-NA-5-Speed-manual-SZR-ABS-LSD The plan is to eventually have a 600+bhp turbo motor. This is going to be a very slow project so please be patient Rich

Ah ok. Think the odometer has been changed at some point as the figure is less than what's stated on last years mot, even though previous owner says it hasn't been changed. Think this is something I'll leave to an expert!

My odometer/ trip is not working, it lights up and I can cycle between mileage and trip, but the miles aren't clocking up, I'd imagine it's some sort of sensor on a wheel that could be faulty? Rich

Have also just read the whole thread, great work so far! Interested to see how this ends up! Love the attention to detail with the underneath

Ok thanks DNK. That's given me something else to think about! I'm also quite impatient, so the idea of having a supra sooner rather than later appealed to me.

Thanks Dave. Suki is a brilliant build!

Ah ok thanks guys. The reason for wanting an NA isn't the cost, it's wanting something in the garage I can work on for a couple of years. It's going to be a slow project, and I'm quite handy with a toolkit so looking forward to the challenge.

Hi Rhubarb, look forward to seeing a v8 project!

Hi all, I'm Rich, 24 from Great Yarmouth (just down the road from kirky_123) Went out in the "black duck" yesterday, what a machine that is! Anyway, I've not yet got a supra, but the plan is to buy a uk manual N/A in the next 4 months, and stick TT6 gear in it. Hopefully meet some of you at shows etc That's all for now, Rich
