    Key on ACC position, weird noise from behind the dash..

    At first I thought this may be a heater core related, but AFAIK my valve has been closed since day one of owning the car, and the solenoid is not connected (no heat either obviously). What I want to know is what this strange noise is.. it only occurs when the key is in that position and maybe a...

    Fixing that hatch leak after just about all else has failed..

    So, my old hatch from back when I acquired my car started to rust, and so I bought a new hatch seal and new tailight gaskets to keep water from rusting my spare tire-well out further too. Sadly, this did not fix the issue, and it continued. I realized that another area that water gets in through...

    Just replaced my hatch and I have a question on adjusting the fitment

    So, I knew immediately from looking at the top mounts where I was going to make the majority of my adjustments, and I'm also aware that the bottom latch can be manipulated as well. Here's the question then: are the bumpers located on the side of the hatch (literally) used for adjustment of...

    A sad day?

    I find it to be rather saddening, but at the same time I understand that one will likely never gain back what has gone into something like this: http://www.supramania.com/forums/showthread.php?157461-rhd-twin-turbo-mk3-supra-5000-FIRM.-palm-harbor-florida Obviously there are some important...

    what in-line fuse to run between battery and alternator..

    long story short and despite the safety issues (looking to rectify that btw), my car has always had the main battery cable from the hatch (relocated at time of swap) connected directly to the alternator. I have a 100amp SC300 alternator on my 1J, and the wire to and from is 00awg IIRC. What...

    "Turbo S" designation. anyone heard of it?

    http://www.megazip.ru/ru/auto/toyota/view/452/4039/40747/392859#g393148 another member posted the link above, and I was paging through and saw "Turbo S" and wondered what that was. I have previously never seen or heard of that. Is this common knowledge? The "4-ESC" and "4-ABS" interested me...

    How many of you have had code 52 on your 1J/2J?

    I've had the damn code for years at this point, but before someone steps in and says 'what the hell is wrong with you,' I'd like to point out that I've always been fairly easy going on my car, and it was always filled with 93 and ran on stock twins/boost for all that time. Still, I admit that...

    12.5-12.9v when the engine is running, bad alternator?

    I'm pretty sure it is, but to be sure I wanted to ask. Car had 12.3v when I started it earlier, after being in stop and go traffic with the headlights dimming and such when I put on the brakes, the reading was bouncing from 12.5v to 12.9v. When I got home, I turned the car off and waited a...

    intermittent starting issues..

    checked out those relay bypass threads and such for the starter.. but I want to make sure that's the issue before trying it out. anyways, this just started about a month ago. came out one day to start the car (after a car meet, fail), and all it did made was a minor click, but voltage seemed to...

    bad u-joint (non-replaceable type), what now?

    To be clear, I already had a 1PC driveshaft, and I am in no way interesting in going that route again. Anyhow, my current driveshaft was acquired to replace the 1PC but has since developed a metallic squeaking noise at low speeds. Today, I replaced the carrier bearing hoping that was the issue...

    is the 300zx (Z32) trans stronger than the R154? [-link to this claim inside]

    that age old debate (swapping twins for single).. but with an asterisk.

    my rear twin is finally producing the death wine on hot starts. now, I'm adept enough to realize that rebuilding the twins is expensive for the most part, switching to a single is a way better idea, right? indeed.. so, what the hell is the issue here? well... I applied for a job to teach...

    should I remove the fan in front of the radiator?

    I noticed today that it hasn't been plugged in presumably since 3 years ago when my swap was being done.. and my A/C hasn't been functioning in quite some time, which is actually fine at this point. any detrimental effects? I read that the JZA70 didn't even come with A/C or aux fans (on some or...

    no signals or flashers..

    noticed that neither work today after looking down and seeing no green arrow or clicking noise when I tried the turn signal stalk of flasher switch.. turns out, I had left the flasher switch on at some point, and I'm not sure why but the battery didn't go dead. I'm guessing a fuse or relay bit...

    ECU in factory radio location.. will it be affected by an aftermarket radio?

    For some reason when we were doing my 1J swap, we put the ecu where the factory headunit used to be.. this was done because we used the speedo hole swap method in order to not have to lengthen the factory harness, in addition to, the car not having a headunit of any sort when I bought it. so...

    two different carrier bearings..

    I did some searching on this topic and didn't seem to find too much.. anyhow, I acquired a '90 turbo driveshaft and noticed the carrier bearing was of a different design compared to my old '87 (april) shaft. I found a post on the other forums about there being two different part numbers for...
