Okay guys, got a bit of a problem that seems simple but I can't think of any logical reason as to why its happening. Here goes: Last week I noticed that the paint under the filler door was bubbly and soft, obviously fuel had been in contact with the paint and it had to have been more then a...

Hi everyone, finally I've decided to tear down the entire back of the car to track down the leaks that are causing water to pool up in the back of my car. I've tracked them down to a couple missing nuts, super dried out stud gaskets, and the obvious tail light seals. However, to fully get to...

Hi everyone, well as I'm getting into my engine bay a bit I notice that there is grease/buildup everywhere from something. So I take a paper towel and 99% of it is red if you look hard at the paper towel (obviously, most of it on the towel is black). So I think, power steering! Well, its not...

Hi everyone, I finally tracked down where my oil film is coming from, and I believe it to be the front crank seal; however I wanted to confirm before to go to repair it. There is oil on the bottom of the lower timing cover, oil pan, surrounding block, oil cooler lines and undercover...

Hey everyone, I'm still having trouble figuring out what is causing a pretty violent vibration coming from the rear of my car. I can feel it easily through the seat as well as a slight detectable steering wheel vibration. The part that is most difficult to diagnose it for me is that it is not...

Hi everyone, I've been looking at several different Supras for a friend of mine and including the one we eventually bought, they all have the most terrible brakes I have ever seen. For example, one the 5spd I drove, the pedal was at normal height and felt only slightly soft but you literally...

Hi everone, I have a question for those experienced with water leaking in through the back of the car. It's been raining for the past week here and recently I noticed some water coming in from the back of the car, as well as water pooling up in the plastic interior trim piece on the bottom of...

Hey everyone, 1st off I figure I should mention I am pretty much totally clueless on the ins/outs of the 1JZ, but this is for a buddy of mine so bear with me. He is not using the stock twins or any of the stock intake/exhaust stuff and it has a walbro fuel pump and an Aeromotive AFPR. What...

Hey guys, something kind of strange is going on with something in my clutch assembly when I release the clutch pedal. Every time I start my car and I let out the clutch pedal (fairly slowly, not just lifting my foot up quick and obviously in neutral) I get this click from something undernaith...

So, for the 1st time this year its above 70* outside so I went out for a bit of a cruise for like 30 minutes. Now this being the 1st summer I will have my oil temp and pressure guages together I have a feeling I will learn some interesting things about how our motor and oil work as temps climb...

Hey SM! A while back I posted about a rattle in the hatch area and I came out with two options: hatch rattling from bad bump stops, or the strut is loose. I replaced the bump stops, and the rattle continued. Yesterday a buddy of mine was sitting in the back so I asked him to check the strut...

Hi SM! Since I've owned my car somewhere in the back passenger side of the car there has been a rattle and it rattles on every single little pebble and bump on the road. At 1st I though it might be the shock loose or something, so I crawled back there with a wrench one day and not one nut was...

Hi guys, simple question. What are the threads on the oil filter, and if its different between turbo and NA for some bizarre reason, for the NA filter stud. I need to know to build my custom oil cooler setup for the spin on adapter. Thanks!

Hey guys, for quite a while now (before I got my tiny battery, so thats not it) I have noticed that at idle, my electrical system seems extremely weak. Symptoms: idling with headlights on, apply brakes = entire car dims idling with healights on brakes and reverse enguage = entire car dims...

hi all, I'm concidering upgrading my oil cooling system as the last of the safeguards against high boost destruction. But I have a couple questions about plumbing and hose size that everyone used. -I was looking at a B&M super cooler that has 1/2 NPT inlet/outlets on it, is this sufficient...

Hey guys, quick Q and this may seem obvious but I think better safe then sorry. Tonight I want to tap for my FP guage and I have all the stuff i need, only thing is I want to make sure that somehow fuel pressure between the pump and FPR doesn't get trapped in under pressure. So that when I...

Hey all, I have a Greddy FP guage which i got for future tuning purposes and so I can watch it from the drivers seat; not just under the hood once I upgrade fuel. So for now it just sits there at 0 all the time and its kind of annoying to have it not working. In the manual it says to just splice...

Okay, now just before I was just checking something out pertaining to the master cyl (actually toying with the idea kind of a "just to see" thing what its like with a true no ABS system, since I saw the debate thread about it on SF. But this is not about that.) Anywho, I noticed this which...

Hey guys, well I fouled up pretty good and unintentially took apart the motor on the starter assembly. Now the back section (silver end towards front of car) will not slide back into place no matter what I try. Also now that I have the starter unbolted from the bellhousing; how the heck do you...

So I'm putting in coolant today and I look it up in the manual and for a turbo-auto car The capacity comes out to be like 2.1 gallons. (8.something L) So I go ahead and dump a bottle of coolant in; and then I get like another 1/4 gallon of water in before its overflowing out the cap. I would up...
