Weighed the car today! It's an 89 Targa with 2JZ/single/standalone with rear seats and rear hatch interior panels removed (the rest of the interior is intact). No ABS, extra wiring, or other BS in the engine bay and a tiny little dry cell battery. FRP bucket seats, lightweight suspension arms...

I currently have a singled 2JZ and an ACT 6-puck spring clutch with the HD pressure plate (TS2-HDG6) and it holds fine driving around doing pulls on sticky tires at low and high boost (~350 rwtq and ~400 rwtq). However, I welded two of the six pucks badly to both my flywheel and pressure plate...

Yeah buddy! 475/403 at 17.4 psi thanks to Randy and the rest of National Speed.

Recently finished up the 2J in my car. It's still got a lot of small work ahead of it, like making brackets and cleaning up some of the wiring routing, but it's running and driving beautifully, tuned for 15 psi for now. Runs on JDM 7M-GTE ECU using HKS VPC and Apexi S-AFC (7M ignitor, IS300...

My Supra was a bit lonely surrounded by 240s and miatas but here are a couple random pictures from the Driftwater event this past weekend. Two of my good friends brought their S13s out, one with an SR and one KA-T we spent half the day fixing :biglaugh: Photo credits are on the watermarks (or...

Being back at State means I'm finally around friends who can take good pictures again, so here are some shots of the Supra after mild lowerage and extremely dirtiness! ^Old school photo taken with a random ancient film camera a friend found in his Dad's closet!

I spent a good 6 hours washing, claying, polishing, and waxing the car so I decided to take a few pictures before it all gets ruined driving to work tomorrow. It was all done by hand and the paint isn't so great so it still doesn't look that good, and a lot of stuff is off the car for...

I've started a thread on this already, but I'm back at school now and quite far away from the car so I can't do much for a while. :nono: I did snag some videos of the car idling before I left though, and while they're not great quality you can really hear the noise in some of them (it's actually...

I've been having problems with a weird tapping noise that seems to be coming from my engine for ages now, and after looking up some Supra videos on youtube and listening to them, it seems 7Ms are noisy in general. I've seen a bunch of videos where the same exact noise is present! I still don't...

I've been having a strange oil pressure issue ever since I've had my current 7M-GTE. A short history of it: -Bought as a JDM import engine, cleaned it up & installed new HG and dropped it in. Ran for maybe 600 miles and rod knocked. During this time my oil pressure gauge was not hooked up so...

Ok, I've had this problem for a long time, but figured I'd be able to solve it once I took my engine out and had clear access to the entire bay. I can't find the body side plug for the proportional power steering! :nono: I've got the end that comes from the steering rack, but cannot for the...

Took the Supra for its first dyno run! Made a max of 270 rwhp/280 rwtq at 10 psi. All 3 runs were pretty close to each other and A/Fs were surprisingly ok. I didn't expect it to be this high but I'm not complaining =) The first two were done right after I arrived from a 20 minute trip on the...

Okay, so my girlfriend was supposed to come over to my house today because I was going to go take her to a movie. She lives about 20 minutes away, and the movie we were supposed to see started at 4:15, which was in about 40 minutes. I figured "cool, I'll just play Pokemon while I wait". So...

I've recently swapped my drivetrain into a new shell and went from an open 4.30 diff to a 3.73 LSD. The whole drivetrain is exactly the same as it was before except for the change from a MBC to an EBC, and I've run both setups at ~8 psi. Thing is, my car feels a whole lot slower now. The old...

I'm having a really weird problem that just started yesterday when I took the Supra out for a quick spin with the exhaust silencer in to see if that helped my overboosting problem (thanks everyone who's been helping me with that!) Whenever I push the gas/open the throttle, my check engine...

I'm having a few issues with my car at the moment and have been trying to figure them out for the past few weeks. I've gotten it to the point where it runs well and is drivable, but there are still some very irritating problems I'm having trouble with and I was hoping if I posted them up here...

http://forums.nicoclub.com/zerothread/350101 What goes on on Nissan forums =) This really had me laughing so hard my sides hurt, there are some hilarious replies.

Hi everyone, I just finished putting my engine into a new shell, a 89 turbo. The problem is this new chassis comes with progressive power steering and I can't seem to find where the wiring plug from the rack solenoid hooks up to. I'm hoping it's somewhere on the chassis harness and not the...

Ok, I am putting everything from my car into a new shell and now I have to make a little decision and was wondering what Supramania thought about it =) The main deciding factors are convenience vs handling I think. There aren't any places that I can't go with the eibachs, I just have to go...
