    What transmission have I got?

    Was sold to me as a W58. However, once I pulled my old box, I realized there are a few differences. The big difference is the shifter location. The top box is a MKIII Supra W58 that just came out of my car, to bottom box is the replacement I bought. Anyone know why the difference in...

    Valve stuck open?

    Really bad misfire at idle, engine shaking, smoke and all that. Actually drives ok, but gets too shaky after about 3k rpm. Did a compression test: 179, 183, 182, 180, 0, 182 Looks like a pretty healthy motor except for ZERO compression on #5! Added a bit of oil down the spark plug...

    Graze Anatomy

    Disclaimer! This is an attempt to relate a humorous anecdote. It is essentially, bathroom humor. Turn back now if you are easily offended. So last night I was sick. Upset bowels had me stuck on the toilet re-reading an old issue of Time magazine that was stuffed to the gills with...

    Dear Wannabe Thug,

    Dear Wannabe Thug who stole my bonsai tree, Please give it back. I cared for that dumb bush the last 6 years, nearly killing it twice. It's at least 20 years old and is a heck of a lot more mature than you. WTF do you want a tiny tree for anyway? Its kinda like a goldfish, but lives longer...

    My mom just came back from the U.K. and brought me these: They are called Loptoff Lugs. What that means I have no idea. What I do know, is that floppy dog ears kickass.

    Starter won't go!

    I am stumped. The starter won't click over. I tried taking power right off the battery to the solinoid to be sure it wasn't something wrong with my wiring, same results as turning the key. Just put a new starter in and same deal. Could it be the battery? Not enough juice? Any help would be...

    I rule. Part 2.

    That is a 7M-GTE in my kitchen. It was such a PITA to get it in there. The rear door into my appartment was narrower than the engine. So I had to jump in the car, run over to the garage ( my brothers place ) and get some tools to take the turbo off. I kickass because there is a 7M-GTE in...

    Body damage estimate?

    Not a Supra, but maybe you guys can help. Wondering if any of you have some experience with this sort of thing. My car was hit before I bought it, but I really want this huge ugly dent fixed. I don't have it running yet, but once I do I plan to drive it to a few different shops and see what...

    My Nissan 240sx dyno video

    KA24DE turbo. Its the 240sx equalivant of NA-T 10psi is good but 13psi was running just a bit too lean to be safe. So I am stuck @ 10psi until I bump up the fuel pressure. Need an adjustible FPR for that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jg8EFMinOHg For those of you interested...

    Air intake control vac question

    This canaster gismo is attached to the butterfly inside the manifold and the FPR. htp://www.cygnusx1.net/supra/library/TSRM/em/EM_50.html I have been through pages and pages of the manual and I can't figure out if that canaster gets its vaccum pre or post throttle body. Does it matter? Thanks

    Re-torquing headbolts 7M-GE

    I have the engine out and I have just finished up cleaning the engine as much as I want to. As I was taking apart the intake manifold, there where signs that had been off before. That is to be expected, but once I had the valve covers off it was obvious that the head gasket has been done before...
