    Removing cruise-control guide?

    Hey. Never really used the cruise-control, don't have the need for it on norwegian roads. After my engine swap I've also got a different throttle linkage, so the cruise-control isn't connected at all to the throttle body. Therefor I don't need any of the cruise-control stuff in my car/bay. So...

    RPM meter not working.. (after engine swap)

    Thanks :) So I can just swap the tach and keep the rest the same? Will the speedometer work(as the rpm meter doesn't)? (got no driveshaft yet så haven't had any chance to check) Is it easy/hard to take the cluster apart and change the tach?

    RPM meter not working.. (after engine swap)

    Hey. My original RPM meter is not working after the engine swap. GE to GTE, so engine harness/ECU is changed. Does anyone know what can be causing it? Thanks, Scott

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    I really do feel dumb now.. pretty much all aftermarket gauges are 1/8" or 1/4" NPT? How does that work out then? Where is the sender placed?

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    Thanks for replies. The gauge is going in the dash console.. What do most people do with the stock gauge if fitted a aftermarket one? Use the adapter to keep the stock one working? Also.. is the stock sender 1/8" NPT? Thanks, Scott

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    Think I'm going electric.. due to the risk with having oil under pressure flowing into the cockpit. One last question.. how do you connect up a aftermarket oil presure gauge? What does it connect to?

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    Don't doubt that the gauge it self is ok, but using the stock gauge setup I find is unreliable. I've done my engine swap now, and on the stock gauge it went up to 8kg, then went gradually down as the engine was running. Connected up a mechanical gauge and got a perfect reading, after I...

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    How reliable is a electric gauge? Definitely see the problem with getting leaks from a mechanical gauge.. but then that would be 100% reliable.. no problem running a tube really.

    Mechanical or electric oil pressure gauge?

    Hey, Nothing new that the stock oil pressuge gauge is very unreliable, so want to upgrade it. But should I go for a mechanical or electric gauge? What are the pros and cons? Scott

    Thanks for reply. I got it solved by having a wooden piece between the clutch and the seat bracket.

    Filling gearbox oil without driveshaft on?

    -First I started another thread in the lubrication category, and it said it needed approval by mod before it would be posted. Then I just posted a thread in the General MKIII category right away.. now it seems that the first thread that needed approval has been moved to the General MKIII...

    87' Supra MKIII - First Start-Up [JDM 7M-GTE]

    Thanks! Does anyone have any tips on what is causing the engine to go like this? On idle it is very good, but when I touch the throttle it goes very uneven and incorrect. See from 1:37 in the video to see this. Also if I touch the throttle, it has problems going back to a good idle.
