First I had actualy rod knock, now I have the tricky exhaust leak that causes a knock sound. How can I do about finding the leak? It is louder on the passenger side.

I finished connecting everything in the car after the engine swap (7m still, previous blew a rod) Anyways, as suggested I took out the EFI fuse and cranked it over to get things moving. Then I went to put it back in and start it afterwards and nothing happened. Not even a hint of trying to...

When I hooked up my battery this connector or whatever it powers made a weird noise. When i unhooked the connected (as shown) it stopped making the noise. What is this? Theres one on each side of the car, but only the pass. side makes the noise.

After having the tranny/engine out I have it back in now. I went to press in the clutch and it immediately sprung right to the floor and stayed there. Almost like something pulled on it after I stepped on it. How can I fix this, and why did it do this?

I was tightening some hose clamps up with a 1/4" drive 10mm deep socket when it fell of my mini ratchet and went down the plastic intercooler pipe right beside the air filter/housing. How can i get this out? What will it damage if it is left in? I need this out ASAP so I can start the car...

I have this little hose, I think one end goes on the rubber accordian hose (the one from the turbo to the aircleaner), but I can't find where the other end goes. This is the hose I'm talking about: Thanks

Does anyone have a picture of the ECU and anti-lock brake computer mounted under the dash? I've spent half an hour twisting and turning both units and cannot figure out where they sat when mounted...

I bought some royal purple 75w-90 synthetic gear oil for the transmission... I searched and nothing came up... What's the easiest way to fill the tranny (manual) with the gear oil, I don't have a pump is my problem. Is the fill-plug the only place I can fill it from? The TSRM didn't tell me...

I bought an engine a few months ago that had sat for a while(over a year). I replaced the headgasket and cleaned it up a bit. Sometime this week I plan to finish installing everything and firing it up. Before I do so I plan to flush the radiator out, and flush all the water jackets/cooling...

A couple quick questions regarding the engine/tranny installation and where parts go...(87 supra turbo) The bracket for the hydraulic line for the clutch under the car, I can't find the hole where it attaches too, mainly because it's awful hard to move it while it's attached to the hardline...

I took the engine w/ tranny out a couple months ago and it went fairly smooth with the help from the step by step guide someone wrote. Now I'm on to installing it back in, and the guide says it is 10x harder to install than remove.... Anyone have any tips to make it go as smooth as...

For those who have experience driving these, hard how is it to get used to? Since North american roads are built for LHD cars, how hard is it to do the basic/not so basic maneveurs? Like passing and whatnot since you are on the other side of the car it must be hard to see... There is a 180sx...

I have 3 bolts (looking for the fourth) for the engine mount-to engine bracket. When I go to tighten them up they are around .5" too long because they tighten up quickly and I can no longer turn them in. So does anyone know the length of the proper bolts? I am guessing the P.O. just stuck...

What is the best/easiest way to clean off grease from the nose of our supras? I learned the hard way and found out that oil/dirty fingers/grease badly stains that part of the car.... something I never knew beforehand. I searched and swore months ago I read a big thread on cleaning...

Is there anyway to from TDC on the comp. stroke with the timing cover on? I have the camshaft timing sprockets lined up with the mark, and have the crankshaft pulleys mark at 0*. BUT stupidly, I am not sure if my #1 piston is at TDC. Is there a way to test this, or should I pull off the timing...

I have the engine out of my car. Is it safe to wash down the engine bay with water and a cleaner to get rid of the grease and dirt? As long as I don't directly wash any of the electrial stuff? On my older trucks I wash them out all the time because there are only a few wires inside the...

what is this? my old engine does not have the connector...but the "new" one does... (center of the picture)

I am changing the upper part of the speedo cable (the long piece, with one end that connects to the gauge cluster). My question is how do I get the rubber grommet/boot that seals to the firewall on the "new" speedo cable? The rubber hardly stretches. On the old cable I messed around trying to...

I have two 7M's in the garage, one is an '87 and one is an '89. I am putting the '89 engine into my '87 car. My question is, the oil pressure sensors are different in size and appearance. The '87 is large (wide) while the '89 is small (narrow). Did Toyota change the functioning of the sensor...
