Airwolf Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) **PICTURE HEAVY** Hi Folks My first supra TT Auto 1994 has been running extremely well, for 115k miles the engine has not given a single bit of bother. Car has sat dormant for almost 3 years, so time for spring cleaning. I am getting married in september, then immigrating to canada in november. I would love to take the supra with me but we need the money to settle down. So i plan to sell the Supra by about end september. Being almost a 24 year old car, its started to show on it's smaller issues. So my plan is to make this supra as perfect as i possibly can to give it a good send off before i start the next chapter of my life. current mod list: Front mount intercooler Blitz nur spec R Blitz bov Airintake Gizzmo ms2 boost controller Trail rear bumper front splitter Top Secret Sideskirts Current to do list: Refurb Headlights Paint intercooler Rubber strip for Bumper/Bonnet Alloy Swap + Tyre Stickers New Seats (maybe... up for debate) Boost Controller diagnosis (might be faulty or just old and shit) Boost Gauge and AFR Gauge Am2 slot in Fuse Box is fucked. Tidy engine bay problem solve aerial motor Upgrade fuel pump General electrical problems (headlights and electric windows effect what dash lights come on and how bright, radiator, oil light etc.) Reinstate cruise control (i love cruise control) replace spark plugs to Denso/NGK Iridium - IK22 I'm not a mechanic or have any family that is, what i do know is learned off the internet and stalking mechanics i have befriended in their garages. So please correct me if you see anything off. Also any advisements or advice would be appreciated.

Airwolf Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 (edited) Day 1 Tried Refurbing the headlights with compound machine polish (didnt sand down first) It worked to some extent and there is a noticeable difference but most of the "damage" is on the inside So looks like im going to follow the guide here http://www.supraforums.com.au/forum/topic/77107-supra-headlight-restoration-guide/ and do a black spray on the inside while i'm at it.

Airwolf Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 Day 2 AM2 30amp Fuse is giving me hell. It's completely melted the connectors. I suspect either a bad earth or shitty potholes has caused it to jump out and short leaving a nasty surprise. Found a talented car electrician that has come recommended. Booked an appointment for him to come out in a couple days. See if the fuse box itself needs replacing or just the connectors. Also tackle the rest of the small electrical issues whilst we are at it (and get my beloved cruise control back, oh how i miss it ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Good to see that my old Supra is still around , sold this late 2014 Just thought I'd mention that they're Top Secret side skirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 That fuse looks nasty! What does it power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwolf Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 cheers for that Kay Jay, compared them to the veilside and thought they looked identical. Do you remember fitting a restrictor ring? Swampy I think its the whole ignition system. because when it pops, whole car shuts down, cant turn it back on. 0 dash lights etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Yeah , had fitted a restrictor ring from whifbitz , but cannot say what was done to the car after I sold it I had fitted a nur spec so not sure if it's the same one that's on the car now Had Recaro seats and glass headlights at one time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Airwolf Posted May 7, 2017 Author Share Posted May 7, 2017 its got the stock seats in just now, pretty good condition with 1 hole. Not sure if I should replace if im selling in september. You know what size of restrictor ring? 1 bar? 1.2 bar? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kayjay0_7 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 I'm guessing it's a 1 bar restrictor ring If you need to know, the crank pulley and valve stem seals were replaced in in April 2014 , mileage was 107201 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
