Jdm is jdm is jdm, and fine if you want to use it as a starting place for a rebuild. Lots of threads here on them, and in my one experience nothing more than a gauranteed BHG without taking it apart first.

I originally thought it was the gauge sensor, too. Good thing I didn't just ignore it, since a broken ecu sensor might have caused me a problem for the virgin key turn this weekend. :aigo:

^ Gives me time to break my motor in before any hard pulls. ...provided it actually starts this weekend! :x:

Water sensor (EFI), so right you are Supra87T, and a $53 mistake. Oh well... Thanks for your help. :)

Sensor on the rear t-stat housing, just below the turbo water supply banjo, nestled behind the PS resevoir mounting bracket. The harness plug appears to be green, and it's a 19mm nut. I busted mine while breaking the banjo loose and only have the stub left. I'm on my way to Toyota with the...

I got mine for ~$450 from Champion Toyota a couple of years ago, and like he said, "best money I ever spent". :)

Steve, have you posted up on the Ohio Supra site? Might be worth hitting them up. :)

Iroqouis is a great place, Steve. Great views and places to shoot a few pics of your car, if the road to the top of the park is open. I made a huge leap forward on my car yesterday, so unless something goes terribly wrong between now and then, I should be in my Supra! :)

There are no words to describe how bad accidents like these are… When I was 19 there was a full speed, head-on collision right along side the car I was riding in with a friend. Long story short, but one woman died on the scene, one had a compound fracture of her femur as well and...

PROGRESS!!!! Well, I'd have a couple of pics of yesterday's work, but I just managed to accidently erase my entire pictures folder off my Blackberry. I don't care, though, because we put a BIG dent in the project yesterday. Matt came down from Columbus and we hit it hard starting about 9 am...

Steve, if my car is done and I've got a thousand miles on the motor you can sign me up for three pulls, if Dave will help with the tuning, of course. :) At this rate, I will qualify for antique plates before I get the stupid thing running, though, and I am SO close! :icon_mad:

The only thing in there was a black rubber "seal", less than 1/8" thick, and it wouldn't make putting the new bushing in too hard. Gee, maybe NO bushing would explain why shifting has been a sucky thing? :/ No luck on power. Last time there was an extended outage we were on in 3 1/2 days...

Sign me up Steve. One way or another I'll have this stupid thing done, hopefully past a full break in, and ready for a few good pulls. :) BTW, I didn't think the trip to Hoof'n was all that bad... In fact, I'll throw out the suggestion for a spirited backroad cruise to get there if one...

^ Thanks! I just wish it was moving along faster. :) So after taking a couple of weeks to reconsider why I ever thought this would be fun or a good idea, I got to it again tonight with Dave's help again. We got a few things things done. I'm especially proud of installing the pressure...

Yeah, I had somebody "local" try to buy my car sight unseen, because they were too busy moving to look at it. Riiiggghhhtt. I don't quite understand how that scheme would work, but whatever...

Quick clutch set question: How does the bearing come off the old pressure plate so that I can install the new bearing on the new plate?!? It looks like a pry out, but damn it's on good! Am I doing it wrong, or do I just need put a little more something into it? Jay, dinner's on me! :)...

I've got it, Dave, and been keeping it safe for you. :) Hey, I ordered a 98 motor mount like you said, and it really doesn't look like it's going to be a fit... I've got to figure out what to do about it, because if I understand my receipt correctly, it won't be returnable. Keep me posted on...

I'm alive! I got almost everything that I need in, but had a work emergency come up and had to leave town for the week. Now I'm just down to needing a motormount and ordering the new turbo housing would be nice. Tomorrow I run from Hurricane Hanna, get off the plane and go home to reinstall...

Yeah, I could've pushed through and made it work, but I'm in too deep to not be completely happy with it when I'm done. And I will be! I got the gas tank strap bolts loose today without actually breaking the staps, so maybe things are looking up. :)

Okay bad night, so unless you want to see pics of an unhappy me and and unfinished car, there will be no further pictures posted this weekend. :cry: Outside of the minor frustrations, Dave (dbsupra90) and I ran into a bunch of problems that we couldn't work out tonight. So, here's my...
