    Firstly pay your membership and then you can pm people. The white supra plug if I recall may be for abs. Either way my car didn't have it either.

    Spycho's Supra

    Here are a couple of helpful links. You will love the 1jz it's a very under rated engine but is so worth the effort of putting it in the mkiv. http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?320028-1JZ-to-Supra-wiring-specifics http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showthread.php?313544-1jz-gremlins
  4. Looking good, Have you already fitted the front spacers in the pics? If so any rubbing issues?
  5. Managed to get a quick walk around between the showers. I will revise the advert later with all the photos I took but this will give anyone interested a better idea And how it sounds
  6. Yeah i know what you mean, but it was the most cost effective way of me owning a manual twinturbo supra and the 1jz drives more like a small single turbo`d 2jz :-). I did think about turboing the 2jzgte but i thought reliablity wise it was best to just fit an already turbo`d engine. It starts and runs without fault and has totally transformed the car.
  7. My electric folding mirror was pulled off the other night by a lovely person. I am now looking for a replacemnt or a pair if i have to. Thanks George
  8. Bad Bits mentioned in the top post Rear quater Few stone chips on passanger front wing Bonnet Roof Splitter Boot
  9. I bought it back in Feb as a standard 5spd na. The car had covered around 200km (125,000 miles), the car is still in km and hasn't bothered me. I set about sourcing and fitting a 1JZ GTE engine which is a very revy and fun engine. This is not a sequential system so it feels more like a small single turbo. I found one local to me and set about my conversion. I also managed to get myself a small cased LSD which has helped transform the car. The car Starts first time everytime and drives and pulls well with no smoke or bangs and has run faultlessly for the 6months or so it has been fitted. The car is setup for bpu but is still runing standard 0.7bar boost. This is only because I chose not to upgrade the clutch when I did the conversion as my long term plan was to always fit an R154 gearbox. The standard clutch shows no signs of slipping at the current power but if more boost was to be run then maybe this would need to be upgraded. The bodywork flat and mopped and it now has a lovely shine to it but the car has had some paint work in its time and the roof has got lots of little marks in the lacquer and it is pealing a little around the rear quarter window. The boot has the usual rust bubble and the lacquer has gone a little milky. I also removed the supra badge and this left a mark but I have never worried as it has always been my intention to give it a full respray. The bonnet has a little bubbling on the front edge. I am very fussy about paint work and most people think I'm mad but I'm just being honest. The spec is as follows: Interior Carpet died black Sparco r100 drivers seat New gear stick and handbrake gaiters Boost guage added in place of clock. Pioneer 3500 DAB radio with Bluetooth and reverse camera Brakes Brand New Front UK Calipers Brand new pads and disks all round Refurbed master cylinder fitted Fresh fluid 4 wheel alignment Calipers painted metallic purple Body Stock body S2000 stumpy aerial Polyurethane Front splitter (cracked and was on my list to replace) Facelift rear lights Clear sides Refurbished jspec fronts Xenon headlights Wheels 19in calibre gtr alloys 9.5 rears 8 fronts 8mm spacers and extended studs Rolled rear arches Suspension BC adjustable coilovers Engine 1jz ( pre cat) (280bhp std, now probably running around 300bhp) Full gasket and seal set fitted before I fitted engine including new cambelt and waterpump, plugs, fuel filter etc. 2nd decat with restrictor ring Hks supers silent exhaust Front mount intercooler with hard pipe kit (Only running 0.7 bar until I got a better clutch or r154) Small case lsd believe it's an a01b new oil fitted New gearbox oil fitted New walbro 255 fuel pump and have run a fresh fused supply I have some tt 430 injectors that I have fitted yet. I think that's everything, so it's basically needing a better clutch, Fuel cut defender and boost controller to run full bpu around (350-370bhp) The car is currently on a private registration, this will not come with the car. £6,500 Reverse Cam
  10. I used the na engine mounts not the 1jz as the looked better. If you follow the guide for the wiring and have it all in place it should just be a matter of spending a morning in the footwear soldering and it should start on the key. 2 little issues may be fuel pump control, I had to do the 12v mod to get it to run but have since run a new 12v fused feed the other is if you have a 1jz auto wiring loom and ecu, you will need to bridge 2 wires from the selector to pretend the car is in neutral so it will start.
  11. Mine has been leaking too, where is this kit available from? also any ideas how much a new NA master cylinder is?
  12. Im looking to fit a wideband to my 1jz converted supra. The original 02 sensor is in the downpipe off the back of the turbos which i will need to keep for the ecu. I was wondering if it would be ok to get the wideband welded into the front part of my 2nd decat pipe as the original downpipe is cast and will be a nightmare. Will this location be ok and give me the right readings? Thanks
  13. Ignore this post mate just seen your reply
  14. Il have this off u please mate. Pm me
  15. Hi mate is the cross in the middle of the facelift bumper (in front of where an fmic sits) undamaged? If so could you pm me a price please.

  17. Just sent him a pm. - - - Updated - - - Thanks will do
  18. I have been looking for a new gearbox and have put wanted posts up on here and on driftworks. Yesterday I was messaged by a guy on driftworks with a complete setup for a reasonable price the only problem is he is in malaysia and so are the parts. I sent him my number so we could chat via Whatsapp and his number is a Malaysian one and he sent me lots of photos and whilst studying here worked at jm imports. He seems to be honest and sees ok but then I don't want to be at the end of a scam. He has suggested payment via PayPal, and my question is, how safe am I as a buyer sending money that way. I know it's better to not send it as a gift but to send it as payment for goods I think. Any advice welcome. Thanks George
  19. As the title says, I am looking to change my w58 into a r154. It will be fitted into a mk4 supra. I have been offered a bellhousing and flywheel so if anyone has just the box that would be fine, or if someone has a complete setup in box, bell housing, Flywheel, prop, slave etc that would god. Thanks George
