    Aftermarket upgraded pistons?!?!

    I'm going to guess that they're not stock, but oem replacements. You said you bought it with a blown head gasket. If it had a BHG, then it almost certainly didn't have a MHG. ANYONE who is going to use forged pistons, is going to use a metal head gasket and arp's. They wouldn't spend $500 on...

    To my knowledge, no. It's not timed to anything, it just spinny-spinny.

    Nevermind

    On this same subject: Does the fuel pump have a one-way check valve in it? I was wondering what keeps fuel from backing down the supply side. My car is hard to start, and its because I have no 'at-rest' pressure. I'm just wondering if it's my FPR or my pump's check valve. Thanks.

    Battery charging issue....really need assistance on this:-(

    You said the fusible link was good- the black-coated loop wire? I'm trying to remember if that fuse was indeed part of the charging system. I remember it was on my old Z- in fact, the car had a few of those links. The only way to tell if they'd blown(aside from a multimeter) was to feel...

    It's either the alarm has a short on the remote start hot line, or you have a stuck starter solenoid.

    Are R154 and W58 gearbox housing support brackets different?

    I believe that the passenger side is identical, but the driver's side is larger for the R154.

    Rear windshield upper molding

    I peeled my plastic off and painted with spraycan flat black- it's held up for a year so far. But I just did it as a temporary fix- I got a new one in a bag that I'm saving for the repaint.

    Having fun with a soldering gun...

    Yes, I'm going to buy led bulbs for the keyring, cluster, etc. I never even knew my foglight switch lit up, and my hazard light has been dead since the Clinton years. I'm a bit confused on which style of bulb to get for the 194's and the 74- Should I get the 4-5 element smd types, or the bulbs...

    Having fun with a soldering gun...

    Into where? the fog/ hazard switches, and the window switch?? If you mean the instrument cluster and the other places that a 74 or 194 would go, then yes.

    Having fun with a soldering gun...

    Ok- soldering iron, but it wouldn't have rhymed. I've been busy exploring my climate control, as well as a few other things. Just got done with the hazard switch and the foglight switch, as well as the driver's side window switches: Still working on the CC, waiting for the temp...

    Wifes 88 Supra Build Up

    I wouldn't chop the top. Yes, you can re-angle the windshield, but then the targa mounting surface on top of the windshield would have to be also cut and returned to proper angle to mate with the targa. Not to mention, this would also have to be done to the rear chopped section as well. After...
