Noone's got an idea?

Speed Sensor is giving a signal. Pin 5 of the odo is receiving this signal. Tested it. That's the issue, we are running out of ideas.

Hey guys, I´ve got a little problem with my 1993 Supra TT Automatic (j-spec model, bone stock engine and electric). Some days ago I wanted to drive around and realized that the speedo doesn´t work, the odo doesn´t count the kilometers and the o/d-light was flashing. So I started to read out the error code: code 42. After that, I checked the junctions of the SLD and on the board of the speedo, but everything´s fine: After that, I checked every PIN on the odo like the workshop manual says. (maybe not so interesting for you, because it is in German) After we checked PIN 6, we realized, that the voltage doesn´t change. The signal of PIN 6 comes from the PPS-ECU (progressive power-steering) So to be honest I don´t know, what to do now. Where is the PPS ECU sitting? What would you do if you were me? I´m a little bit baffled..... Thanks in advance Andy

Hi, my Supra came equipped with an OEM Navi+TV system (NTSC-J format). If I replace the headunit with a PAL one and just connect the antennas, will it work? Paul

Cheers guys, I want to swap my J-Spec headlights for UK-Spec headlights for registration purposes. I have a friend with a UK-Spec vehicle and mine's a J-Spec one. If we swap the headlights incl. the bulbs will it work out Plug&Play?

Where do I get the 12V+ signal for the relays from? Can I wire the illumination of the dimmer switch to the 12V input of the relays via the fog light switch? /e Or will I blow the fuse?

VVT-I: MAF-Sensor faulty? At 80mph suddenly the car lost power...wouldn't accelerate. Let the car roll until it halted. Engine won't idle, immediately stalls, won't rev higher than 3000 rpm. Pulled the MAF-Sensor and car runs fine in emergency mode. At 3000 rpm car begins to stutter, won't reach positive boost levels. I drove it to a Toyota dealer who is checking the MAF-Sensor now. Any other probable causes? Throttle sensor? Turbos blown(unlikely)? No mods, car is bone stock.

But I still need to know which pin of the fog light switch is the on/off signal. Thanks anyway!

Hi Fellas! I am preparing my rear fog light conversion (according to this instruction: http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?80479-Fog-Light-Conversions-for-beginners ) by using an OEM MKIV rear fog light switch. The car doesn't have the plug connector fitted. I have to wire each pin on it's own. Does anyone have a pinout diagram for the switch or is anyone able to tell me which pin serves which purpose? There are 4 male connectors and two which seem to be female connectors. I believe you have a + and - connector and one for the signal? Thanks in advance:)

Recaros were standard on 95+RZ's.CF steering wheel on 97+ RZ and SZ-R's (VVT-i). They are rare because these versions were hardly sold. Mainly SZ's and RZ-S around.

Beautiful car! Good luck selling it, mate!

I am pretty sure this car must have been in an accident as the price is much too low compared to other 02' cars. They go for 3+ Mio Yen usually like this fine car: http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/goo/17/700100177420110701002.html which is also modified with a bodykit and FMIC etc. This 02' is advertised for 3.69 Mio http://www.carsensor.net/usedcar/search.php?CARC=TO_S086&AL=1&SORT=3 and this black one http://www.goo-net.com/usedcar/spread/goo/13/700050407720110616003.html 3.05 Mio Being a genuine 02' RZ with a genuine TRD3000GT kit this car should see asking prices in the 3+ Mio range but it doesn't, even though the mileage is pretty high compared to the other 02-Cars. Just to show you what the Japanese are really capable of when restoring a Supra: http://www.yoshihisa-style.com/s016-supra.html But I'd still have a strange feeling in the stomach driving around in a car that was formerly involved in a serious accident.

This 2002 TRD Supra is really cheap for a 02' one. But that's just because it says "Restauration history: yes". In other words, this car has been in an accident and has been restored.

Hi Jurgen! I have sent you a PM about this chip. I'd like to have one! Thanks!

Yeah, you are all more then welcome to join us :-)

Oh if it just was a 6Spd one. Nice car

Great! I'll get back to you about this topic

Hi! At first, I am located to mainland Europe and therefore I need my speedo to read in kph! The Before-Situation - car is in stock condition, top-speed-limited - stock 180kph speedo - odo readings in km The Aim - car has to be delimited - scale of speedo is widened to ~320kph - odo is still reading in km I don't want to alter the odo-readings and I want my odo to keep on adding kms not mls to the genuine mileage. What I thought about is using a Thor-Racing Converter/Delimiter, but the effect would be that the odo is changed to miles and adds miles to the kms already driven. Is it possible to seperate the signal going to the speedo from the signal going to the odo? The miles-conversion of the speedo is needed to widen the scale of the 180kph speedo (I'd change the dials to the Thor ones: http://www.thor-racing.co.uk/images/supra_facelift_dials.jpg ) Are there any other possibilites to make the speedo read more then 180kph w/o converting? Thanks in advance:)

Yeah, in'it? Most probably yes, but what is by far more interesting to me is the fact they have got a traceable history, fully stamped service books and I can just call the T-dealer and ask about the car. No matter how nice an importer describes the cars in Japan, they can still tell me tales about the car's history which noone is able to reasses. Being an enthusiast I'm more interested in a car that is in a great collector's condition then nasty mods and tuning. And to my understanding British new Supra buyers were more mature just because of the extra they had to pay over Japanese buyers (probably younger folks). I don't want to have a beaten down Supra driven by some Japanese boyracer

You are right. But nevertheless some UK Toyota dealers brought over J-Spec Supras after 1996 for their customers on special request. Last year there were two of them for sale on Pistonheads, a Quicksilver one and a lovely black one with some 60t km that has gone to Malta

Yeah I know most VVT-i's are grey imports, that's why I was looking for a non-grey import one in the first place. I have seen maybe half a dozen over the last years and was hoping someone here would own one or would know someone who has one

I'm afraid of dishonest importers clocking back odos and such...I have heard that this happens quite often in the UK. But it might be the only way to get one exactly to my specifications. I have already contacted a sales agent, but am still looking for one that's already in the EU:)

Nice! Thanks! But I'm pretty sure there were more. I remember a Supra staying in front of a Golf club

Thanks mate, but that's not what I'm looking for I'm looking for the press kit car-magazines got:)
