    Old Supra thread about bilstein shocks and sleeves and custom springs

    I have ordered some Bilstein BSN-24-011259 from summit racing and am going to get the threaded Shock Sleeve to make them coilover springs but need to know what a good spring rate for this setup is.

    Curious: After 2JZ swap, what does the "birdcage" mean NOW?

    The wires that are in the bottom of the overflow res are connected to the level sensor that turns the rad light on and off. Those wires are not part of an engine swap.

    A few questions on Bilstein Shocks for those who have emmm :D

    http://www.colemanracing.com/Shock-Sleeve-Shrink-On-Bilstein-P3700.aspx You can convert your own here from your regular Bilstein's, you would need more parts to complete it of course. Technically you could just add this piece and custom adjust your perch with the nut ride adjuster.

    A few questions on Bilstein Shocks for those who have emmm :D

    The springs have to come off for the height adjustment. You are adjusting the spring perch to seat the bottom of the spring higher or lower, it has 3 adjustments.

    The infamous 1jz breakup: tried alot, getting no where

    Apparently the STA wire sees a ground all the time through the Starter relay and the NSW wire sends 12 volts to the starter from the ECU when the soarer transmission is in park or nuetral through a logic circuit in the ECU. So your starter circuit must have been wired up differently where it...

    The infamous 1jz breakup: tried alot, getting no where

    That would be a problem in a supra as the NSW wire and the STA wire will have 12 Volts on them through the ignition switch and if you short those wires to ground you will blow the 40A FL AM1 fuse when you start cranking the car. The vehicle in the thread you posted is a Toyota Landcruiser.

    back in the supra game

    Welcome to SM, Nice find, glad its outta the weeds. Another good white is Mercedes bone white from the 70's. A pic of mine before I put it in storage, its in the shade so the white doesn't come out as good.

    Need some advice on buying a supra mk3 91

    It looks too clean for 194000 miles. The paint job looks new and they didn't remove the side molding and painted it too. Pile of tools in one interior pic on the passenger seat, not a good way to showcase your car. The paint job is probably original and severely weather beaten, the hatch is...

    Read every no start thread i can find and still cant figure out this car. HELP!!

    Car sat for 7 years? Your gas tank may need to be drained and lines checked for being obstructed. After 7 years the gas is probably shelac. Just driving it around could have loosened up sludge in the tank by sloshing and fuel returning to the tank.

    exhaust options

    Dynamax vt. I screwed up and got the up to 4 litres. I sent them an email and they recommend the over 4 litres for turbo cars. There are some youtube videos showing the db output of the VT compared to other brands. You will need the offset one Part number 17957

    Wanted: pic of 89 steering wheel electrical connection

    The 4 wires are probably for the cruise control and horn which has an extra wire for the cruise control that the pre 89 does not have.

    MK3 starting issue

    The old twist together and tape fix trick, only good to get you to point B then fix correctly. It is usually not easy to do on larger gauge wires.

    MK3 starting issue

    Check the small wire from the battery terminal to the fuse block and also the negative grounding points, one on the left inner fender by the shock and the other on the motor.

    Best clutch fan combo for 1JZ swapped Supra's?

    Well the rad worked fine on my previous 1J, this new engine runs hotter. The ECU that came with it and wires and intake manifold show it was from an early chaser. When I get my single setup I am going oil cooled only on the turbo which I am sure will help the cooling system out and perhaps I...

    Very odd sound from front end of 87 Supra

    I had a front left tire come off my 1973 Mercury Comet when I was staitoned in Japan on the freeway. First I saw the tire then the car went down on the front left on the rotor and I slowly got over in the emergency lane. I had to walk about a quarter mile to get the tire. The Japanese that were...
