Havard Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Just pull the ECU fuses. I need to go and have a look at which they are as I have not done that for ages. They are in the botton right hand corner of the tray under the bonnet IIRC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tkddav3 Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 too much for me at the moment mate, spent alot out now so wouldnt be for a few weeks. or a quick solution mate, as youve got an aftermarket wheel. cant you just remove it? only take a few min's? and its free Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I got a kill switch fitted after a recent attempted theft bud. Really difficult to find even knowing where it is, a mate who's into ICE wired it in for me for nothing. I also use a big yellow disc-loc as a visual deterrent, they're supposed to be very good and not too expensive on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chucky_waR Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 I have also been thinking of doing this.. I wanted to wire a kill switch on the fuel pump or igniter pack. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 thats a good idea. where would i have to take it to get one fitted? or is it something thats easily done at home? ive removed a couple of fuses for now but will get a quick release boss and it would be good to have a kill switch fitted Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Supra-duper Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 If you need a kill switch fitting mate, ask 12VoltUK, they're one of J-K's sponsors and will do it for a good price. Although I don't think it'd be hard to fit one yourself, if you need a hand you know where I am! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ashbuster Posted April 7, 2012 Author Share Posted April 7, 2012 lol i wondered who that was then. yeah mate talk about it wednesday if you want see you at the pub Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dim Sum Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 couldn't you dis connect the intercooler pipe from the throttle body to stop the supra from going anywhere? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted April 8, 2012 Share Posted April 8, 2012 couldn't you dis connect the intercooler pipe from the throttle body to stop the supra from going anywhere? Would still run, just not very well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
