Havard Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 i was on park street bristol other weekend and saw about ten supes go past me in a line!? any ideas?? Welcome!! I reckon that must be either a convoy or an incredible coincidence......... H. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ian C Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 4.i have a air mass adj unit in my dash, when turnt up max (+10)the revs go up, and down vice versa, whats it for and what does it do. That sounds like something which intercepts the signal coming from the airflow sensor and changes it a bit before it gets to the ECU. To be honest, it's pretty much useless on an NA, you can slightly change the mixture but you'll probably only make things worse. I'd leave it zero'd. 5.my abs light doesnt come on atall, should it? and is it prob a bulb A lot of NA's came without ABS, have you got the big pump thing under the bonnet? Rear passenger side of the engine bay. ps, what are 17" turbo wheels worth with brand new tyres? thanks for any replys. If they are the big 17" ones that fit over UK spec brakes, you can get about £200 for them (unless that's changed in the last couple of years) as they are great for winter wheels/trackday tyres. -Ian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

waderz06 Posted September 14, 2007 Share Posted September 14, 2007 I was out with some of the other supra drivers about 3 weeks ago in Bristol so it could have been us you saw. There's a few of us in weston that meet quite regularly. Anyway welcome and good luck with the tech stuff Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 hello to all, just bought a veilside na manual, love it, im a electrics ice man so been busy with that on it, the forum is excellent, ive been reading sice i bought the car and is a great source of info! ok my issuses: Welcome to the club 2. when i reverse, i feel a grinding type of noise from the rear wheels, also if i accel hard of mark it sometimes does it? Could be a number of things, wheel bearing, brakes, LSD, as said already best to get it checked out by a specialist. Contact JodyT he may be able to help in your area. 5.my abs light doesnt come on atall, should it? and is it prob a bulb If you have ABS fitted the ABS light should come on when you turn the key in the ignition before starting, as should the other check lights on that side (standard test to ensure warning lights are working). Do any of the others come on (oil level, oil pressure, etc.)? If non of them are coming on then it is usually down to the connector or soldering on the PCB.

Bob Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 it wouldnt lock though would it? Yes it would. It happened to mine, turned out the little plastic bit that held the cable had snapped off. I can't remember how it works, but it seems to only use the cable to unlock (using the central locking or inside latch - if it doesn't unlock with a key then it's something else).
