My 1g has been giving me problems and finding parts for it is hard, very hard. Was having my starter motor worked on when i discovered my mechanic had a 7mge. How favorable is this swap? Would i be able to bolt my twins from the 1g onto the 7m (for the time being) and how compatible are the...

So there i was parked, with the engine off. I tried to start the car but didn't get a response, just a clicking noise. Noticed some smoke tho, like burning plastic/rubber. Didn't think much of it because there was a car with a smoking exhaust that had just passed. I tried to crack it again and...

Yeah its a turbo but its a 1G-GTE so it comes with the W58 not the R154. I hate the fact that i have th supra when i'm here and not when i was still in aussie. Damn parts are hard as hell to find and if u do find them, they are OEM. Need upgraded sht, single turbo setup, proper exhaust setup...

Ok, did a search, couldn't find anything. Anyway, heres my problem. My clutch is going. Damn thing drove me crazy coz i thot it was a whole host of things that were causing my loss of power. Suspected the turbos, the IC.... It was only when i went through an AA Car Maintenance Manual that i...

Ok, status report. Found a 1JZGTE and now just searching for the funds. The prob is i could only find it with an auto trans. Now i have to hunt for that as well. My supra is RHD and the 1J is straight from japan so the harness issue shouldn't be a problem. Now just gotta make sure the mounts are...

Been looking for an audio combo instead of buying the components one by one. This is what i found: Ice Pack Combo http://www.autostyle.co.za/prodview.php?prod_id=16023&pid=sound&cid=boxes&pg=1&showall=&brandstr=&str= V-Trek Car Audio Combo...

1J just drops in you say? Makes sense why the 1J swap is so popular. Looks like I'd beta start looking for a 1J then, or hope someone trashes their Tourer V and sells the engine. Still waiting for a response on fabricating a DP/Exhaust. Someone, anyone!?

Would have been nice if they had started wit the 7M (1J beta). Is it the 1G was also used in the Mark II/Chaser/Cresta range with the 1G-GTE being used in the GT Twin Turbo (GX81)? Neva tasted a 2J, hell not even a 1J (more reason i wanted a Tourer V Chaser!!) I've seen threads with swaps to...

Yeah, like your's too. What color is it exactly? Mite just get that one (thats if they'll have it!).

Seeing that hooking up an already made DP/Exhaust is rather prohibitive for me, someone mentioned the brilliant idea of getting the combo fabricated myself. Now my question is what kindda material do i need, specs and what not. I'm looking at something like the 3 " DP on 935motorsports...

22B blue is cool.

Not too sure bout the golf, washing clothes and cutting grass. The 1st three make sense to me. I like the colour on Kwnate's car (ride of the year).

Like the white with black hood scheme (preferable with the hood being carbon fiber). For mine tho, wanna get Metallic grey or silver and maybe even metallic dark blue. Black is soo cool on any car (menacing as hell) but doesn't fade well and car gets so hot inside!!

Its so consoling to know I'm not the only one having problems with mod parts. I also don't understand why the 1G had to be 2ltrs, it just ain't enough for the Supra. 1j makes more sense but even then they had to make the 3ltr, which just shows you that they too realized (a bit too late for some...

I'm getting discouraged bit by bit. Seems like everybody is running or has 7Ms or changing from 7M to 1J or 2J. I'm running a 1G-GTE and there doesn't seem to be much about it. Even the search yields no support for it, compared to the the 7M, 1J and 2J anyway. Had i been somewhere else, would...

Welcome mr taco. Just noticed you don't seem to have a gear stick (be it manual or auto). Is the whole transmission missing?

Damn scoop (still scratching my head as 2 why it was put) and the flames will be the the 1st to go. Will post pics when i have it repainted. cant afford coil-overs so will probably go with shorter springs to lower the sucker! Quick question, how do CAI (cold air intake) systems hook up from...

I love the paint. Dammit, cant wait for my mk3 to have such a pristine looking skin!! Nway, WELCOME!

Man do i ever. Damn parts are 3 levels more scarce than teeth on a fcking chicken! Wanna do something bout the exhaust first (DPP) + the air intake. Then suspension will come next followed by the wheels. Its so damn hard getting a car in the state you would find it overseas. I'm curious tho...
